'This Town' (Blue Rider Press), Mark Leibovich's new
book, contained this folksy aside about regular guy Ryan:
"In early August, when Romney tapped him, Ryan's
life got predictably insane: he coined a new phrase, 'to get Weinermobiled.' It
referred to a summer he once spent working for Oscar Mayer in northern
Minnesota. A reporter asked him if he ever drove the Weinermobile. 'I did
actually, as a promotion for turkey bacon at a grocery store,' he said. 'Then
Wikipedia or something wrote that I was the guy who drove the Weinermobile.'
That was its own job. Ryan only drove it once. But the story spread and he gets
accused of lying. 'So now, whenever something like that happens, we say,
"Oh, I'm getting Weinermobiled again." ' "
Yeah, that's makes everything good again?
