*News Conference w Boner now,

[elleng]

MSNBC, fwiw

[Agnosticsherbet]

1. I've no desire to watch a news conference with an orange Boner....

I will catch what he says from other sources.

[lostincalifornia]

27. The retags up there with him are misrepresenting and lying about the whole thing of course.

[Agnosticsherbet]

31. Definition of a Republican, A liar elected to lie by the intellectually dishonest....

ethically challenged, and morally bankrupt.

Color me not surprised.

[geek tragedy]

2. Per Robert Costa, it looks like he's having real trouble getting a clean DL bill passed

with Republican votes, which means he has to go to Nancy Pelosi.

[Barack_America]

8. And so the GOP fractures in two.

Delicious.

Did we just get a three party system, lol.

Hey Nancy, about that 6 week "deal", please promptly flush that turd. Those left in the GOP with any sense of sanity will accept much more.

[City Lights]

32. I hope we get three parties out of this!

I've been saying for awhile that the Baggers need to split from the GOPee and form their own party. I sure hope it happens!

[randome]

3. Is this when he falls on his sword while telling us how terrible the President is?

You know, for the good of the country?

5. Something like that,

and now eric cancer is up.

Temp extension debt ceiling combined with discussion.

[valerief]

25. Eric Cancer! Bwah!

[displacedtexan]

4. They've trotted out the sacrificial woman to take the heat.

Boehner was biting his lip in the background. Now, he's offering to "negotiate" reopening the government.

Total crock.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

13. Classic SOP for conservatives.

[dorkzilla]

6. Fuck these clowns

Who do they think they're kidding? Such nonsense...wtf have they been doing for the past 5 years? Nothing. So now it's "pressing"? Gimmee a fucking break.

[flamingdem]

7. Clowns

'n liars.

[kentuck]

9. Body language

They look like whipped puppies....

[elleng]

14. Yes they do,

as they are.

[kydo]

10. I feel sick

This is not a deal! Open the government, pass a clean cr and pass the debt ceiling for a full year or no deal.

[elleng]

12. Not quite that sick,

but pretty much.

[flamingdem]

11. Uff, they all just ran out of the presser

what a joke.

CAVE!

[randome]

17. I'm sure this will reassure the markets. Six weeks until another shutdown!

[flamingdem]

18. The Dow Jones is up 212!!

I think this game is nearly over because the Koch Boyz spoke yesterday, zee masters aren't pleased with zer puppets and were losing money.

[JHB]

19. I'm not in a position to see it. Does it end the shutdown too? Or just put off...

...the debt-limit hostage-taking until Thanksgiving?

[flamingdem]

24. No details, just that they'll meet with the President

and lies about how it's all the President's fault.

However if we look at the market's reaction - up 212 points now - plus the Koch Bros letter yesterday saying they don't support the debt ceiling ransom idea - well it's just about how to put a fig leaf on it, but who knows?

[elleng]

30. No, just proposed lifting debt limit,

THEN talking. More b.s.

[elleng]

23. DOW was up 198 at 11:30 am; let's see what happens. EDIT:

DOW up 224 at 11:45, guess investors more concerned about debt ceiling than shutdown.

[Erose999]

15. If andssssh and nutshh were candy and buttshhh *urrrrrp* evvvery day would be chrishmushhhh

Then it went dark. I guess Bohener must have tripped his drunk ass over a cable and unplugged it or something.

26. I just modified it from the original lyrics of the Veruca Salt song.
