“You really suck a pig’s ass,” reads prolific tweeter and Missouri Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill with an impressively straight face.
“Paul Ryan has such pretty blue eyes, sometimes it’s easy to forget he’s Satan incarnate,” reads Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, with almost perplexed surprise as he looks up with wide eyes.
