Sure, he might look OK in a shirt, but what you can't see is all the fat that has built up in his brain between the neurons and causes him to make crazy statements like "I ran a sub-3hr marathon" and "I have 6% body fat" and "My budget plan cuts the deficit".

I went to the same high school Paul Ryan did. I didn't really know him but I know he had a nickname; Skippy. I hung out with a different group of people. One day I was walking home and I heard someone yell "Hey, asshole!" I turned around and he was about twenty feet behind me. When I turned, he turned his head real quick and tried to act like it wasn't him. I shrugged it off and kept walking. A few minutes here it is again, hey asshole. So I tuned around again and again he looked away and pretended it wasn't him. Now, I don't know what his problem was because I didn't know him. And besides that, I'm what you would call a little person; also I use crutches because I was born with only one leg. Again I started home and a few minutes later, sure enough, he yelled it again. This time I turned and started walking back toward him. He looked panicked and turned to run, but tripped over a crack in the sidewalk. I walked up to him and he was crying like a baby. It was disgusting. "What a baby," I said. Then I kicked him in the face with my good leg and turned around and went home.

Yes, I truly care about Paul Ryan's body flab.
 
2012-09-17 08:28:03 PM
It's partially because that he's got personal confidence issues, and partially because Republicans know that most Americans either don't bother to check on the BS you're spewing or don't care.

There was press conference to see what training I was doing
Before then I had never heard reporters booing
Cameras flashing - I was in the middle
I didn't wanna look dumb so I exaggerated a little
I said I been training 20 hours a day
lifting big old cars and big bails of hay
and I run 10,000 miles every morning
thinkin' about Mike and my moment of glory
I drink water 20 gallons a pop
And I can throw a Volkswagen a whole half-block
And four million sit-ups in a minute
I ain't lyin'! I did it!

But the thing is he clearly is an active guy who could talk about doing physical things that he really does. He chooses to embellish and lie even though he could get the same effect by telling the truth. He clearly has some real mental issues which of course makes him perfect for the Romney campaign.

Yeah, I'm going with the "because he's a lying liar who lies." And lies badly.

I'm also partial to the "needle dick" hypothesis, though I have yet to turn up an incriminating photo of him in any type of clothing that would make it possible to conclusively confirm. I will say, though, that the pics I can find show a negative bulge. So draw your own conclusions.
 
2012-09-18 12:09:15 AM
Most people don't know their body fat percentage.

Most people who think they know it don't, because they used a crappy measuring device with a huge margin of error.

So I really wouldn't be surprised if he believed that number.

Psychopathy (/saɪˈkɒpəθi/[1][2] from the Ancient Greek ψυχή "psyche", -soul, mind and πάθος, "pathos" -suffering, disease, condition[3][4]) is a personality disorder that has been variously described as characterized by shallow emotions (in particular reduced fear), stress tolerance, lacking empathy, coldheartedness, lacking guilt, egocentricity, superficial charm, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, nonplanfulness, impulsivity, and antisocial behaviors such as parasitic lifestyle and criminality.

I don't think he'd rack up more than 20 points on the Bob Hare checklist, but I doubt he'd score below 10. Most of us score zero.

2012-09-18 12:15:49 AM
Because a liar lies. You don't know why you do it. You don't even care. You can keep ahead of the lies if you keep them scattered, and you always pick lies that are adjustable, mistakable, apologisable. Just under three hours, I mean, uh, just under four. Six percent body fat, shiat, I mean sixteen, oh well, hahah, I wish it was six, right? right! And it doesn't matter if you get that little smack of high you do when the people in front of you act impressed and look you in the eye and give you that most precious gift, the feeling of I believe you and maybe then it doesn't matter that you know, to yourself, that you're nothing but an empty outline full of ashes.

At first blush, it looks like Romney has even more of those traits than Ryan does. Then again, Romney's been running for president for at least five years (although, honestly, it's more like ten). So we've gotten a pretty good look at his operating system. Ryan, by contrast, is a relative unknown. Maybe his psychopathy is just as extensive as Romney's. In any case, there's a good match for each other.

Also, anybody interested in this stuff should read Jon Ronson's the Psychopath Test. Here's Ronson on NPR: A Psychopath Walks Into A Room. Can You Tell?

To the best of my knowledge, no serious athletes or bodybuilders use the P90x routine. It's considered a good routine for amateurs looking to establish a disciplined structure, but it's not some sort of hardcore, optimized bodybuilding routine.

This reminds me of some elderly Republican guy (I forget who) who boasted he could leg press 1000 pounds. Never mind that the leg press is an easy machine to put up seemingly impressive but physically unimportant numbers on in the first place, but this just involved him moving the weight about 1 inch while keeping his knees locked.

wildcardjack: Psychopathy (/saɪˈkɒpəθi/[1][2] from the Ancient Greek ψυχή "psyche", -soul, mind and πάθος, "pathos" -suffering, disease, condition[3][4]) is a personality disorder that has been variously described as characterized by shallow emotions (in particular reduced fear), stress tolerance, lacking empathy, coldheartedness, lacking guilt, egocentricity, superficial charm, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, nonplanfulness, impulsivity, and antisocial behaviors such as parasitic lifestyle and criminality.

I don't think he'd rack up more than 20 points on the Bob Hare checklist, but I doubt he'd score below 10. Most of us score zero.


A) no farking way this is a real word
B) I thought the deal with Paul Ryan was that, at the very least, he has a plan. I mean, it's a terrible farking plan, but he has a plan.

Even the most elite athletes almost never get to 3%.

If a person has 3% body fat, there's probably something wrong with him, as in some sort of medical condition.

Maybe that why he knows what his body fat is. Most people don't, as the only practical way to get an accurate measurement is through hydrostatic weighing or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

I've known exactly one person who had 6-7% body fat. Not only was he an elite athlete, he was also one of those athletic freaks of nature--like Armstrong and Phelps--who was just naturally incredibly lean and had a metabolism like a hummingbird.

One day I was walking home and I heard someone yell "Hey, asshole!" I turned around and he was about twenty feet behind me. When I turned, he turned his head real quick and tried to act like it wasn't him. I shrugged it off and kept walking. A few minutes here it is again, hey asshole. So I tuned around again and again he looked away and pretended it wasn't him. Now, I don't know what his problem was because I didn't know him. And besides that, I'm what you would call a little person; also I use crutches because I was born with only one leg. Again I started home and a few minutes later, sure enough, he yelled it again. This time I turned and started walking back toward him. He looked panicked and turned to run, but tripped over a crack in the sidewalk. I walked up to him and he was crying like a baby. It was disgusting. "What a baby," I said. Then I kicked him in the face with my good leg and turned around and went home.

It's really only those who do ultra-marathon endurance races who can attain a body fat below 8%. And then, it's not healthy for the person, it's just a consequence of running 40 miles a day three times a week (and then running 25 miles a day the other four days a week).

Other than that, this guy, Ryan, is a poser, joker and loser: pojolo.

Ryan sounds like someone from my highschool who was a compulsive liar. He'd always claim ridiculous athletic ability (among other equally improbable feats) and would either feign injury or get enraged and accuse others of doubting his word when asked to prove his claims. He used to boast that he could run the 100m in under 11 seconds, for example. He was pretty much universally loathed. (even more than the kid who used to pick and eat his own scabs)

Why does Paul Ryan keep lying about his physical prowess?

Because he's lied about everything else. Maybe we'll get lucky and Fox will hire him to do a reality show with Sarah Palin. Sure, you wouldn't want to watch it, but it will get him out of politics and increase the IQ of Congress by about 12.5 points.

Paul Ryan is a 5 time MMA champion who once fought the entire Gracie family over a case of frozen steaks.


CSB time: I was between 5 and 6 percent body fat my Junior year of wrestling. It sucked cutting weight constantly and monitoring food intake. Immediately after the season was over, my diet consisted of Taco Bell and Double Whoppers with cheese.

As someone with 6.9% body fat, I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

But seriously the guy in this article who claims anyone this low would have veins and abs popping out is dead on. My forearms are a phlebotomist's dream.

It's possible with the right genetics and 1 hr a day of exercise, so I don't think it's crazy that Ryan could be in this range.

I'm frankly baffled as to why he's so focused on telling us about his physical prowess - we don't care.

I care about intellectual horsepower, experience, training, empathy, diplomacy, command, and all the other skills that a President and, in the case of mishap, Vice President actually require for office. He's demonstrated so very little in the way of those skills that, I guess, he's falling back on "I'm really fit" as his selling point.

What an idiot.

That was 20 years ago, the dude is still that height and weight, and ain't dead or sick yet.

More likely, the measurement wasn't accurate.

I got caliper tested at age 27 at 11%, and I'm a girl. Yes, my veins stick out, and yes, I was doing gymnastics. No, I wasn't underweight. Yes, I got my period regularly. A lot of it is genetics.

He is lying about silly things so that the media will talk about his silly lies instead of his policy lies. He can point to articles like this and use them to dismiss all of his lies. For example, "Have you seen these fact checkers? They are saying I can't run a marathon in three hours. Who cares about how fast I can run. They look into such silly things, they are obviously not worth paying attention to. This is why we said our campaign isn't going to be dictated by fact checkers."
