BREAKING: John Boeher is a Massive Wuss [View all]
By my count, there are only sixty member of the U.S. House of Representatives who are members of the Tea Party Caucus. That includes four or five members (like Joe Walsh) who are lame ducks. So Boehner is essentially allowing a quarter of his members (several of whom are utterly powerless at this point) to dictate the agenda.
You call that leadership? The guy can't bring the other 75% of his caucus on board? Or at least two-thirds of the other 75%?
Whipped. Whipped I tells ya.
