At least a jackass has a backbone

Tear-spigot, tan-in-a-can, Republican establishment invertebrate John Boehner called Ted Cruz a "jackass" at a fundraiser in Colorado.

Some attendees, at least, were not amused:

“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” said Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, who attended the fundraiser.

It's not terribly speaker-like because Boehner is a terrible speaker. He is either powerless - or, more likely, uninterested - in halting the growth of government and scaling back the government's role as a conduit for the flood of left-wing nostrums that are destroying our society, culture and economy. He's a tricycle among mountain bikes, a squirt gun among Colt .45's. a bubble-gum cigar among Montecristos. If conservatives are ultimately to be defeated, please, Lord, let our defeat at least occur honorably under the generalship of a fighting man (or woman), not contemptibly under the disingenuous plotting of this unscrupulous poseur.
