It’s been a solid four months since Jay Cutler’s meltdown against the Packers in the NFC Playoffs, but not everyone’s ready to move on just yet. Witness this economic forum in Chicago on Monday, where even Wisconsin congressmen Paul Ryan couldn’t help himself.
Even Congressmen Can Find Time To Make Fun Of Jay Cutler
As he told a roomful of Chicagoans:
"I want to thank you all for inviting me to speak. It was especially gracious of you to host me, even though I’m a Packers fan and I assume most of you are Bears fans."
"But that doesn't mean we can't work together. As chairman of the House Budget Committee, I stand ready to do whatever it takes to help you re-sign Jay Cutler. I'm here to talk about the economy today -- about the need to get four quarters of strong, consistent performance. That wasn't another Jay Cutler joke, I swear. It could be, but it's not."
Ooo... See what he did there?
Regardless of what you think Paul Ryan’s politics or his infamous (and insane) budget proposal, you have to admit, the guy’s got good instincts. There are very few things that just about everyone can agree on in America, and the smart politicians are great at latching onto them whenever possible.
Beer, football, fireworks, playing through pain, supporting the troops, fixing our schools, catching up to China, and thinking Jay Cutler’s a massive p---y are among the few things we can all get behind.
With one deft rhetorical turn, Ryan was able to show the crowd he a.) Likes and understands football and b.) knows how to tell a good Jay Cutler joke. The guy’s got moxie. Now, if he’d followed end his speech with a crack about LeBron to win back all the Chicago fans in the room... Well, that kind of swagger might have single-handedly validated his candidacy for the 2012 Presidency.
