Paul Ryan Bingo for "Progressives," Update #3
New:
* H/T to Nathan Fuller for filling in E2, by RTing this from Nation blogger Greg Mitchell: "NYT reveals Paul Ryan, hailed for 'small town' + 'blue collar' appeal, among wealthiest in House, wife is loaded."
* A growing complaint about Ryan is that he's the wrong kind of Catholic, a conservative one instead of a "social justice" one. More directly on the "wrong-sect" point, a DUer says Ryan is practically in the Opus Dei fringe, so A1, take your base!
* Andy Ostroy at HuffPo raises the question whether Ryan is "too young, too brash, inexperienced, foreign-policy neophyte who's simply not ready to be president should something happen to his boss." That (literally) covers E5.
Previous updates:
Update #2...
* A liberal Wisconsin blogger calls Ryan a "chickenhawk." That covers space D4.
* Labor journalist Mike Elk says Ryan's "not nearly manly enough to be a leader," chalking up E3.
Update #1...
It's game-on, as Democrats circle the tribal wagons to vilify the GOP VP candidate over trivia and such, as a distraction from how horribly conservative their own ticket is.
The first chips are in:
* A mini-meme links Paul Ryan's widow's peak to Butch Patrick's Eddie Munster character. That's a two-fer, landing bingo chips on E1 and A4.
* Ryan's attacks on Social Security and Medicare are the immediate focus of Dem criticism of Ryan… just days after President Obama was cited in the New York Times wishing the media gave him credit for his readiness to enact cuts to those very programs. This nets C4.

An entry for wrong clothes; Ryan's Sartorial Problem?

Yes, indeed. Will go in the next update, thanks!
This is an excellent exercise! I long for the days when Republicans hurl all the mud and Democrats start acting like Democrats again!
Vast Left,
Maybe not. Rules say, "when a Democrat..." but Sully isn't, to my knowledge, a Democrat. A pretty hard core Obama supporter, but I doubt his voter registration reads Democrat. That said, it's possible that the person he quotes is a Democrat, but I don't know how we'd know. The entry may need and asterick.

New chips:
"Protecting a rapist's right to breed."
"Supports the peoplehood of feti."
"Has a sex life" and "trashy kids" are so unlikely (relatively speaking) that the end isn't in sight yet. I'm going to go with Column C as the first Bingo.
