Romney's VP Pick Gets Meme'd With 'Paul Ryan Gosling'

"Have election season, will meme" would be an apt tagline for this year's presidential election, as evidenced by the latest and so far greatest of Twitter political parody accounts, @PaulRyanGosling.

On Saturday morning, all-but-official GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney announced his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. And while some of us may have still been sleeping the week off during the announcement, the Internet meme mill rests for no one. It wasn't long before Ryan bumped Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney out of the viral hot seat, due in great part to @PaulRyanGosling.

Riffing off of blockbuster-meme-turned-book-deal Feminist Ryan Gosling, @PaulRyanGosling tweets (and PaulRyanGosling Tumblr page) uses the original meme's "Hey Girl" format with a whole lot more politics and snark.
