They Chose ... Poorly

It is reported former House Speaker Paul Ryan is joining the board of directors of the reorganized Fox. He is a very unimpressive choice. As speaker Ryan was both (a) reluctant and (b) ineffective.

For two years which ended this past January, we had the rare situation where Republicans controlled the House, the Senate and the presidency. Ryan had a golden opportunity to move forward the GOP agenda ... and did not.

In the Senate McConnell did what he could without Ryan's help, confirming a number of right-leaning judges and appointees. Ryan basically did nothing except keep the lights on.

It appears Fox wants a do-nothing board member. They've selected one I'd describe as either GOP-lite or RINO.
