By now many of you have heard all about Paul Ryan’s Big Medicare Lie, er, Talk at Florida’s largest retirement complex, The Villages, which provides foundation for Republican candidates, and like Willard Romney may (which we’d know if he’d ever release his tax returns), have a few IRS problems of its own. Via the L.A. Times:

Billionaire developer H. Gary Morse, whose family built The Villages on more than 30 square miles of farmland, is a co-chairman of Romney’s Florida finance committee. Along with family members and his corporation, Morse has given more than $1 million to the Romney campaign and a “super PAC” supporting him.

But how many of you knew that Team Ryan appeared to try to get all those Republican seniors drunk enough to cheer his speech? Ply ‘em with alcohol and they’re all yours:

Hundreds of supporters jammed into one of the development’s “town squares,” where free entertainment and nightly happy-hour dances helped earn this community of 60,000 seniors a somewhat double-edged reputation as the Disney World of the Cialis set. Open-air bars at the Ryan event began pouring before 8 a.m., with 14-ounce margaritas going for $2.75. A Chick-fil-A stand did a brisker business, however.

He got them drinking before 8 a.m.? That doesn’t sound too healthy, pushing alcoholic drinks on them, especially so early in the morning. Is that how Paul Ryan “takes care of” seniors? And alcohol and sun don’t mix, you know. There’s risk of heat stroke caused by dehydration. Many of his audience members could have keeled over, and what kind of photo op would that have been?

Wow, it’s a good thing they have Medicare.

Then again, there was a certain amount of wisdom in getting the crowd so sloshed they wouldn’t know what or why they were applauding. Kinda reminds me of the old days when my dates would try to get me drunk so I’d “loosen up” enough to allow them to do to me what Romney-Ryan are trying to do to seniors and the disabled.

Oh but I kid Team Ryan. Sort of.
