Never Gonna Stop

Last fall, when Paul Ryan was spewing his bullshit about what was on his iPod, he said he had everything from AC [lightening bolt] DC to Zeppelin. I forget who (a commenter at Intrade?) noted that one, Led Zeppelin would be under L, and two, those are not American bands. If he really wanted to spew some Triple-A American bullshit, he should have said Aerosmith to ZZ Top.

This got me to thinking that Ryan sometimes succumbs to what Mark Crispin Miller calls the Bush Dyslexicon. His book of that name chronicles the many times Bush said what people thought were just stupid gaffes, but they're really slips that give you insight into how he really thinks. Like when he said the Crusade of the Iraq War was going to take a while.

Well, Paul Ryan, who apparently dislikes American Rock and Roll so much that he won't name the obvious bands in the relevant alphabetic sequence, has dyslexiconographied again. And this time it's a doozy.
"This to us is something that we're not going to give up on, because we're not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the American people."
Oh, please, tell us more, wingnut. (h/t Jed, Daily Kos)
