Well, he could actually propose to repeal the PATRIOT Act for starters, but I'm pretty sure that Boner would not support that particular repeal, no matter who will be judging him.

With a name like Boehner, he sure is one flaccid, orange dude.

Why do they call them 'adult beverages' when it makes them cry like babies?

But in matters of truth, I doubt his sincerity. Those are the crocodile tears of a soulless psychopath, shed by design, not from emotion.

by how many times he wasn't drunk on the floor of Congress.
By how many times he didn't cry during a speech.
By how many crimes he didn't commit.

He's lookin' pretty good now, isn't he ?

In one sentence, John Boehner expresses his contempt for the American people and the job he was sent to Washington to do. If you're for anarchy, Boehner is your representative. For anyone wanting a functioning government, this is the person who needs to lose his seat in Congress. The fact that his district is so gerrymandered that he can't lose is testament to the true problems our country faces. I am ashamed that John Boehner is my representative in Congress!!!

changed the laws of science and reality, laws, in general, were enacted for the protection of the people and/or the security of the nation. By the repealing of some of those laws, congress is opening the door for more abuse of natural resources and victimization of people. This idiot wants to be judged on making our nation more vulnerable to exploitation by the 1%. Not a problem; I’ve been judging congress, based on those criteria, since the evil Overlord Cheney and his court jester were appointed.

It's Republicanomics 101: "Just say something and hope nobody calls you on it. If they don't call you on it then it becomes fact and something you build party around later down the road."

"You are literally too stupid to insult." That's the first thing that comes to mind whenever I see Boner. He's simply too stupid to insult.

There's also a line and scene from Ruthless People that comes to mind:

you keep repealing the same law over and over and over again.
And then get shot down in the Senate.
