A brazen act of plagiarism—or a ridiculous conspiracy theory? During
Thursday night’s vice-presidential debate, Paul Ryan defended his stance
on abortion by telling a story about how his daughter earned the
nickname “Bean”: she resembled one on her ultrasound. Skeptics were
quick to point out that it’s the same anecdote late Nirvana front man
Kurt Cobain told when explaining how his daughter, Frances, got the
middle name Bean. Ryan is a “
devoted”
Nirvana fan, so the theory could be true. Although on the other hand,
Ryan and Cobain can’t be the only two people to compare an ultrasound
photo with a bean.
