In reply to the discussion: Report: Boehner Told Harry Reid ‘Go F**k Yourself’ [View all]sofa king
(10,857 posts)31. Hornswoggled and bitter.
He doesn't really have a right to be pissed off, since it was his own predictable behavior that allowed Democrats to tack down the tax deal so tight that he couldn't undo it in two years.
Now, just to save a little face and to have any chance of being reelected Speaker, he has to surrender to a "compromise" that doesn't satisfy any of his own benefactors' objectives and all of the President's.
And, we made him look like a pussy and made him work through the holidays--and if there is one thing Boehner doesn't like, it is work--just to get the raw deal he's getting.
He's a chump, and he's starting to figure that out. That's why he's angry.

Weakest Speaker Ever. And unelected, since a plurality of Americans wanted a Democratic House. nt

Sweetheart, he's a Republican assclown. Just remember, you don't want to grow up to be an assclown.

Come on, if I had the chance to say that to Boehner, I'd do it and brag about it

I guess Republicans think telling somebody this is a sign they are a "real man." nt
