Ryan's brownbag story was a lie-- what else is new? But why isn't this 'Eloise Anderson' in trouble?

She didn't just use it in a speech, she used it to lie in testimony to congress.
From Ryan's damage control post on Facebook (http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/03/07/paul-ryan-brown-bag-lunch-story-stolen/):

Today at CPAC, I shared a story I heard from Eloise Anderson, the secretary for children and families for the state of Wisconsin. She mentioned it in her testimony for a House Budget Committee hearing last year. I have just learned that Secretary Anderson misspoke, and that the story she told was improperly sourced. I regret failing to verify the original source of the story, but I appreciate her taking the time to share her insights.


I know, I know-- IOKIYAR.
