Time) Hard to believe that only 10 months ago, Paul Ryan
was just a little-known “Jersey Shore” hopeful and now he’s the VP nominee!
No, whoops, our bad. Meant to say: Hard to believe that only 10 months ago, Paul
Ryan was just a famous-for-Washington congressman who, while under consideration for Time’s 2011 “Person of
the Year,” posed with flexed biceps and backwards ballcap — photos Time
didn’t use then but unleashed onto the world Thursday morning alongside a new Ryan profile,
hours before his debate with Joe Biden, promptly blowing up the Internet.
The magazine included some
insight from Tony Horton, the fitness guru behind the
buff lawmaker’s favored P90X workout plan and explains that “it was Ryan’s
fitness regime (and Herculean strength on all things fiscal) that inspired the
workout-themed sitting.” In case you thought they were simply
going for
gratuitous frat-boy kitsch.
