Bonus Quote of the Day

"All you need to know about the differences between the president and myself is that I'm sitting there smoking a cigarette, drinking Merlot, and I look across the table and here is the president of the United States drinking iced tea and chomping on Nicorette."

-- House Speaker John Boehner, quoted in The Price of Politics by Bob Woodward.

2. He weeps because he's drunk

I wonder how many Merlot's he can handle before the water works begin

[Angry Dragon]

4. As bad as he is....

Cantor and Ryan are far worse.

[CBHagman]

5. And the larger point is that...

...Obama is the responsible adult and Boehner is the naughty boy. And note that I said "naughty boy" and not "the embodiment of evil itself," as I might with certain other Republicans.

[AlinPA]

6. What the hell is he trying to say? What an idiot. The GOP is hopeless.

10. You know, I am somewhat thankful that Boehner is still around...

This will sound strange, but you know, I am somewhat thankful that Boehner is still around.
Imagine how the House would be if Cantor, Bachmann, Lamborn or Price were Speaker.
