Ron Johnson caught naked.
Tea Party candidate Ron Johnson loves to cite Ayn Rand and his own business experience (manufacturing plastic) while denigrating everyone who is not wealthy. Well, he's now been exposed.

Turns out Ronnie didn't build the business. His father-in-law did, he just married the daughter.


Sure, says Ronnie, but I've run it as a successful company for years.


Well what's the prime reason for successfully running a manufacturing business? Customers, of course. Or in Ronnie's case, just one customer. His brother-in-law.

Somebody throw a blanket over this guy.

1. I had some friends who were Rush ditto heads. They owned a shoe repair business.
They had Rush on all day long at their shop. They loved to talk about the small business people who are the ones making the country what it is. I found out later that they never made a profit and the the wife's mom was propping them up and buying them their house.

3. It would be good not to be as misleading. Metaphors are not great in subject lines
