I thought DFH bloggers were supposed to have the corner on that kind of language:
"Now, listen, I’ve voted ‘present’ two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn’t feel like I should vote," Boehner said. "In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means ‘yes,’ red means ‘no,’ and yellow means you’re a chicken shit. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."
Boehner also famously said that Nancy Pelosi would be "hanged" by the American people, called the Senate compromise immigration bill a "piece of shit," and urged his GOP colleagues to get off their "dead asses."
Where’s Lanny Davis when you need him?
Boehner may be out of his leadership position soon. Maybe he and Goldfarb are competing for a coveted post-election gig dribbling cheetoz with the rest of the paint ball commandos at RedState?

good morning, Jane. Well, isn’t their leader a potty mouth. I’m stunned – all those clean family values.
Well Boehner is a bawl-baby. Nyah.
Crybaby punk ass mother fucker.
mm, this is the best he’s got? A yellow button? hehehehe…what a maroon.
Dear House Minority Leader Boner, Do you realize how funny your name is, spoken or in print? Thank you for giving us the opportunity to laugh at you for all these years, not that we’ve ever taken you seriously or listened to anything you might have had to say…
Panty waist little shit:
It feels weird to call someone ‘chicken’…except for the chicken shit gutless chickenhawks that love war but are afraid to serve. What a ‘BONER!
heh…as someone who has had to deal with workers comp issues, I can tell you that the whole ‘bad back’ thing is almost impossible to prove…they obviously just wanted to get rid of him.
In honor of Cryin’ John Boehner
It’s Cryin’ Time
Boehner is a magician. he can fart out of his mouth.
The punk did enlist.
And has House Minority Leader Boner served in the Illinois State Senate?
Again they are comparing Apples and Oranges….. with no reference to FACTS…. but again facts smacks….. who needs any stinking facts…..
in honor of the late SF Chronicle columnist Herb Caen:
“button down your overquote”
I broke my left leg in 8th grade, 26 fragments. Didn’t keep me out when I enlisted. Compression fracture T-6, harrington rods in 1975. Still jammin!
Said earlier today and will say again……if boner is this upset language-wise, things are definitely looking better for Tuesday. ‘Course you gotta take into account he thought he was talking to thugs only so IOKIYAR and devil take the family values.
… and those are his virtues …
Probably kept bursting into tears when they gave him an order.
Dood !
Dean Broder will no doubt be clutching his pearls to discover such language coming out of the mouth of the distinguished majority leader.
Either that, or Broder will applaud it as a sign of bipartisanship, as Boehner reaches across the aisle and demonstrates his willingness to speak the same languages as the DFHs.
I’d love to be in the first meeting Obama has with Boner and his peeps after Jan. 20th … mebbe Frank will put a big Yellow Button on Boner’s chair …
Boehner is nothing more than a Bagman…low level crook handin’ out cash on the House floor. And a crybaby.
Pardon the correction.
on MSNBC
Interesting how they like to call O arrogant because he is campaigning in these ‘red’ states and not focusing on the ‘blue’ states but perish the thought that John McCain is arrogant for campaigning in Pennsylvania
asshats
707
I *do* love this place!
Wobs – remember(snark to follow), Obama is supposed to behave in a grateful way….it’s all handouts you know.
Well, if Bonerhead thinks Obama is a chickenshit then all I can say is that it takes one to know one.
John McCain, not Hussein.
Caught a few minutes of tweety yesterday when he went off about same……..*click*
Me screaming at the idjit box, “That’s why it’s call the UUUUUUUUUnited States of America, you forkin’ twit!”
Broder was on Washington Week last night. Said little and a couple times I thought he was perhaps a little spacey. Dood ain’t no spring chicken.
that is him to a tee
hmm i forgot that. thanks for reminding me
He’s 79 and well past it. He should retire now before he goes completely over the edge.
tweety is a taco shy of a combination plate. this is the man who refers to whites as regular americans. I guess the rest of us are irregular?
I guess ‘arrogant’ is the new “uppity” …
and take Greenspin,and McNasty with him
Only if we don’t get enough fiber in our diets, Wobs.
That gambit didn’t work for me. They still kept me for the full two-year induction term.
Palin would be the first female Grand Wizard …
If Tweety is going to run for office he needs to stop saying stupid things like that. He will get called on it early in his campaign, I think.
I got my paratrooper’s wings after I got flat feet and collapsed arches – and getting the wings had nothing to do with the feet being flat or the arches collapsed.
Time to reach across the aisle, Dems. With a [Mod: no].
It was pretty sad. It was like they propped granddad up in a chair and told him to be nice. He did manage to be his snarky condescending self at one point.
good grief. McCain hitting Obama on comments he made in Iowa that he has mademany times before …how his win in Iowa vindicated his belief in America.
Shorter McCain response: POWPOWPOWPOW
one would hope but I would rather he just watch politics from the sideline rather than joining in the game
I know there are pups who think he’s O.K., wobbs, but, based on the way he vascillates (sp?) from day to day (or even within the same hour), the man appears to have *some* kind of psychological problem. It’s kinda like waiting to see whether the nuclear reactor down the street is gonna finish leaking out today or tomorrow.
Broken all the glass ceilings!
Tweety in the Philly gear the other day told me he is planning to run in ‘10.
Which ones … the “bitter” comments ?
When will McCain realize that he has been punk’d by Rove ?
Serious question – does anyone believe that McC honestly thinks he can win? I can’t decide.
hey man! good to be back.
and, hi jane! you’re still my inspiration …..
Tweety wants to be pop’lar with both sides … esp. if he is running, as LooHoo thinks …
paraphrase Obama….
“We don’t have a Red America or a Blue America but the United States of America….” which generates katymine’s tears ….
No..the comment where Obama says that his caucus win in Iowa vindicated his belief in America.
McCain countered with how he never needed America to prove herslef to him and in fact he fought for her blah blah POW POW
me too
He thinks that he is a better man than Dubya and should win if he follows Rove’s strategy.
BTW, did the Govuh-Natuh say whether he will share his HGH and Steroids with Obama ? Why does the Repug Party have so many F*ckwads (rhetorical, but always open to great one liners)
Now, THAT would be something new and different, wouldn’t it, katymine? I’d love to see that.
Basically what you wind up with at that point in time is a two-sided, two-faced piece of spit.
I don’t know. I’m a wreck waiting for tuesday. we have plenty of spirits onhand to either toast O’s victory to to help down the Xanax
I love it too. It will be fascinating to see how he orchestrates this coming togetherness.
exactly. I just think of him as an equal opportunist. whichever the wind blows
Johnny Mac has to stop giving BO such great set up lines …
… or as it is affectionately known around here … Tweety !
what do you expect from the Mac N cheese duo?
I thought they were too busy fighting each other and Dubya to bother ’bout Obama …
For those of us who have lived in a F’n so called Red state….. WHO currently has one point difference between McCain & Obama ….. IN his home state…… will be really yippee skippy when we are no longer a RED state…. but a true member of the United States of America…..
Go vote….
Take 5 friends to vote…
Call everyone in your address book to vote
No whining if you don’t…..
are you kidding? his stump speeches are like 90% attack obama. It’s like jello, there is always room
((( katymine )))
Will AZ get a surprise visit on Monday ?
I read a bit of Ahnuld’s speech … when is CA going to recall that yutz ?
Makes my neighbor down the street grind her teeth when I call him that (Dem but she doesn’t hang out on the blogs to get a real picture of what he’s like). She’ll be a lot happier when this election is over and she doesn’t have to listen to my in-depth rants. *g*
New posting at the mother ship
Hey Loo Hoo, have you ’seen’ WDD lately ? Tell her I said “Hi”
… off to prepare for an evening with a group of insufferable, hoity toity types … thankfully there will be
booze there …
Have a great weekend, y’all !
have I mentioned this hour that my gubernator sucks?
we already did the recall thing and got that putz in office. I shudder to think what could be in the wings
seeya petrocelli
have fun or whatever it is you elitist types have
Will do, Petro! Behave yourself tonight.
Blue America up at the Mothership
Drive on!
Remember how the media clutched its pearls when Hillary said something along the lines of “we can’t screw these people” in reference to not keeping visitors waiting during (IIRC) a campaign function in 1992?
I guess Boehner is still on the drinking binge.
man, this has got to be a world record. I guess tax payers will be funding his liver transplant via his socialized tax payer provided plan.
I really think us tax payers should serious consider including health coverage for Congress to be covered for Alcohol and Drug addiction.
He could be the poster GOP boy……………

Who wants to bet the republicans were in control of the Illinois Senate when Barack was in, so therefore, Barack didn’t want to put his name to any of the atrocious pieces of legislation brought forth by these whackos? Just a guess.
And wasn’t it the republicans in the US House or Senate who all voted ‘present’ at the same time as an act of defiance against the Democrats? Yep.
hey guys, check out this fraud

I’m reading that getting excited and thinking “yeah, that’s what I’ll do, we’ll have a party, and make a video…”
And then I remembered I voted weeks ago by mail.
Well in Nevada the Democrats Have Won! When they can run a drink for a local election and get votes what else can we say in Nevada? The drink is a Tom Collins and it is on the ballot for a local race in Clark County and is in violation of the Nevada Revised Statues – The Law. The votes should not be counted. However, the Republican lawyers are out to lunch!! The person possibly behind the name is Clarence Collins who has four sealed records at Tom-Collins.info that you can view the front pages. The Clark County Assessor web page list a Clarence Collins having property in North Las Vegas and an address in Logandale. The local newspaper has some other info about the person but has not yet published it. It makes the four hidden records look meek. The Clark County Registrar of Voters is What? It looks like O in 08!
He’s a Boehner
