How To Tell Paul Ryan & Anthony Weiner Apart

We figured it would be impossible to forget Paul Ryan's widow's peak. The jet-black protrusion is sharp, powerful, and even more magnificent than Ronald Reagan's. But the former candidate for vice president says that the one and only Paul Ryan has been mistaken for sexting scoundrel Anthony Weiner — not once, but twice.

Addressing a group of Republicans at Bucks Run Golf Club in Isabella County, MI on Wednesday, Ryan spoke of several "humbling moments" throughout his political career according to Saginaw News. Not one of them, by the way, was his recent backpedaling when he was (perhaps) inadvertently but also hopelessly racist on national radio. But I digress.

The Wisconsin Republican apparently has bad luck in airports, and was once addressed as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker after he posed for a picture with an accidental fan. He recounted these stories to the group of supporters, drawing easy laughs and flashing that mega-watt smile. But some of the gaiety turned to certain horror amongst the gathered conservatives when Paul recalled the Weiner snafu.

"I went on this flight a week later. And the flight attendants were looking at me and kind of whispering at each other and pointing," Ryan says. "And then, finally one of them comes up to me and says, 'You're somebody famous, aren't you? Are you Anthony Weiner?'"

Without offering specifics, Ryan added that this was not an isolated incident.

"I've been confused for Anthony Weiner twice now. I don't know how this keeps happening."
