Paul Ryan: 'Must Not Look Weak, Must Not Look Weak, Must Not Look Weak'

KENTUCKY - Following his televised debate with Vice President Joe Biden Thursday, Mitt Romney's running mate Paul Ryan insisted: "must not look weak, must not look weak, must not look weak."

Adopting a serious tone during post-debate festivities, the 42-year-old said it was absolutely vital that he  refrain from breaking down in uncontrollable tears after what, after all, was a healthy debate with Mr. Biden.

"Be a man, Paul Ryan," Mr. Ryan repeatedly told himself backstage, while violently slapping his face. "Crying is a sign of weakness. Pull yourself together and show those motherfuckers who is boss. No one messes with Paul "The Muscle Machine" Ryan." 

"I'm a tiger, damn it," he continued, as campaign advisers asked, from behind his dressing room door, if he was alright.

According to several news correspondents on the scene, the Wisconsin congressman further proceeded to rip off his suit jacket in a moment of "intense emotional abandon", in which Mr. Ryan was heard whispering the words: "I won't fail you, daddy. I won't fail you."

WASHINGTON D.C. - Thursday's vice presidential debate between incumbent VP Joe Biden and Republican challenger Paul Ryan insists it is more than prepared to be sworn into the national spotlight, should something happen to the presidential debate at some point down the road. In the unlikely event that the town meeting between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were to become incapacitated or unable to fulfill its duties as a presidential debate, Thursday's Vice Presidential debate in Kentucky reaffirmed that it would not shy away from allowing its two combatants to answer questions more geared toward a potential commander-in-chief. "One of the responsibilities of a vice presidential debate is knowing that you might have to step up to the plate and have your candidates duke it out over the issue of leadership," said the debate. "I am ready for such an eventuality."
