Paul Ryan may be the new budget guru in the House, but today he seems more interested in basking in GOP victory than talking about the tough legislation ahead.

In a gaggle with reporters just now, Ryan was asked if “in a couple months” he could envision the new majority in the House voting to raise the debt ceiling.

“I’m not talking about that stuff today,” Ryan said as he walked out of the Speaker’s lobby behind the podium that is now Boehner’s to control.
