Boehner's the guy who is saying, "Sure, you can keep lower student loan rates, but you have to sacrifice poor women and children to do it, because we aren't going to ask our fatcat bankrollers to pay an extra penny above their hallowed 15% tax rate." And in Boehner's pickled mind, objecting to that passes for a fake fight or a straw man.

Well, I'm sure that ace reporter and bulldog interviewer Candy Crowley was on Boehner like orange on a tangerine, right?
