Overheard Boehner saying "I didn't sign up for going mano-a-mano with the President of the United States" leaving the Capitol.


How would you distinguish a serious drunk episode from Bonehead's normal behavior?
I can't believe that he'd actually let that out of his mouth! He's cracking. Once this is done, watch him crumble. I would expect, at the very least, a serious drunk episode.

DRAT....now officer America is going to condemn me for calling this weakling names.....oh well. It is what it is.

Well-played BB.

Yes Bee Bee!

See, it doesn't pay to beat sucker punch a clown.


I was ready for you again Bee Bee.... How Boehner's Debt Plan Produces 'The Greatest Increase In Poverty And Hardship' In American History

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2011/07/26/279008/john-boehner-debt-plan-poverty/

"John Boehner's debt ceiling proposal would add $1 trillion to the current $14.3 trillion debt limit (which would be expected to allow the government to continue borrowing into April of 2012), reduce spending immediately and cap future spending to save $1.2 trillion over 10 years, and establish a 12-member joint committee of Congress charged with reporting back to both chambers by Nov. 23 with recommendations to reduce the deficit by an additional $1.8 trillion over 10 years. The plan also calls for a vote on a constitutional balanced budget amendment before the end of 2011."

Bohner's gone limp!

[Ed W]

I don't know if we can still consider the Republicans a viable political party. Their leadership seems to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Tea Partiers.  Boehner seems to be incapable of party discipline or the ability to compromise.

Yet our whole system of government is based on compromise. The point-blank refusal of the Republican leadership to consider any form of compromise and thereby hold the economy hostage is unprecedented. And wrong.

Whoooops....they are like the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz:

[Teatownclown]

So the Congressional Budget Office said Boehner's deal failed to reduce spending and deficits as much as advertised... how embarrassing.

No, "how typical" is more like it.  Remember the last spending "cuts" which turned out not to be cuts?

Boehner needs to go.

[Teatownclown]

Yes. Replace him with someone stupider. 

This is the end!

Who would be a better replacement? Certainly not Cantor. I just think currently the House is full of stupid, short memory, impatient, ambitious office climbers. They aren't interested in history only dogma and perks.

You'd need to find someone who isn't concerned about re-election and that's a rare cat in the HOR.

One would think Boner could poke his way into a hero role here....but noooooooo.

Orangeman might be able to take the old conservatives in with a white flag and tell the teabaggers "tough."
But the country hates having a Negro as POTUS and that's that.

Why is everything about race for you?

[Teatownclown]

Just truth telling with a little sarcasm. Why do you feel the need to lash out at clowning around? You find mirrors frightening? Let's face it Gassie, this deficit/debt ceiling battle has been fought to keep Obama from winning a second term. Answer me this, why are so many in DC hell bent on not working together? So current power appears inable to lead. It's not directly about race, but race is part of the "problem" for the GOP/Teabaggers. It's possible to distinguish them by their make up.
Maybe they should dress up like clowns so we can't take them seriously.

Wasn't it McConnell who stated that the entire purpose of this manufactured crisis is to put the screws to Obama and prevent him from being reelected? Usually, I'm fine with that. Risking a recession just to achieve your political aims is pretty much disgusting.
