The Al Gore-led Current TV has become a forum for some less-than-professional attacks on Paul Ryan, including a host praising a blog in which the Republican vice presidential nominee was called “a little b----.”
The cable network’s personality Stephanie Miller last Tuesday said “I just love” a recent blog post by regular guest Lee Papa titled “Paul Ryan is a little b---.”
Miller first made a disclaimer about the item being “rude” -- and then dived into a passage from the blog.
“Ryan appeared on Fox ‘News’ Sunday … because his role at this point in the election cycle is to be a little b---. Not a manwhore, but a little, yappy b---- dog, Mitt Romney's Papillon, ready to leap into his master's lap and just yelp little b----- barks at whoever dares to move close to them,” said Miller, quoting Papa, aka the Rude Pundit.
“It’s true,” she commented. The remarks were first reported by the website NewsBusters.

Miller and guests have also piled on in referring to Ryan as “Eddie Munster.”
And Miller, with Current TV host John Fugelsang, exchanged quips Friday about Ryan looking un-presidential to the point of appearing to be 12 years old.
“I called Child Protective Services, 'cause I saw an old man beating up a twelve-year-old boy,” Fugelsang said the morning after Ryan’s debate with Vice President Biden.
A representative for Current TV did not return a request for comment Tuesday.
