Old a**holes never die

They just keep building stronger justifications for our contempt. Isn't that right, John Boehner?
Former House Speaker John Boehner said at an event in Las Vegas last week that he used to “sneak into” the White House to see President Barack Obama to avoid scrutiny from the “right-wing press,” according to a report by the Washington Post, which obtained a videotape of Boehner’s remarks.

Boehner also lamented the fact that Americans now have too many choices of where to go for news and information.

“What’s making everything even worse today is because we have so much news, people get to choose where they get their news,” Boehner said, according to the Post. “It used to be we had three big TV networks, five big newspapers, and five big radio stations and whatever they said was the news. Everybody else followed what they do.”
Yeah, this was exactly the guy we needed running the House of Representatives during the Obama regime. All he ever did was cry in his beer and wave his bar towel in surrender every chance he got.

There's really just one party in Washington, divided into a major league and a minor league (the Republicans are the ones riding old buses and wearing patched, hand-me-down uniforms).

Old a**holes never die...and apparently, they don't go away. We thought the old thorn had been removed.

It makes sense that Boehner thinks it was better when there was limited sources for news. More outlets mean it's harder to cloak one's actions.

Paco: the patches were sewn with great care.

Mr. Orangeface Crybaby laments the many sources of news because if there were still only 3 networks and 5 print outlets, blah blah etc, he's still be Speaker.

Backhanded compliment: he was only scared of the 'right-wing press'. Used to be politicians were scared of any press scrutiny and of any true journalist.

So what he's saying is that it was all Failure Theater and throwing fish to get us to arf and honk our squeezy bulbes?

Wow! Nobody saw that coming!!!!

Well, except for GOP voters.

Maybe he gets a thrill out of being naughty too. The problem is the taxpayers and constituents he's suckering. On his own dime he can do whatever. Pitchfork time I'd say.

I notice McCain climbed out of his deathbed and headed to Washington to ensure Obamacare repeal is defeated.
"To the last, I grapple with thee, America; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee."

Good quote, Mike.

Exactly right, Dear Chap.

"Everybody else followed what they'd do."

Did he really say that? In a winsome, nostialgiac manner?

How awful.
