Boehner appears to be cornering the market on Gitmo timeshares
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/22/gitmo-boehner-detainees/

Boehner’s Alternate Reality: Gitmo Detainees Get ‘More Comforts Than A Lot Of Americans Get’»

QUESTION: A lot of members of Congress on both sides of the aisle say that Guantanamo Bay has just given the United States a black eye on the world stage. Isn’t that part of the problem, too? <…>

BOEHNER: I don’t know that there’s a terrorist treated better anywhere in the world than what has happened at Guantanamo. It is — we have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build a facility that has more comforts than a lot of Americans get.

1. Boner is seriously deranged
I've never trusted men with immovable hair.

Plus, he's a lying sack of shit.

10. You're right
And I should have known that. I once got married in Ohio.

Thank you, by the way, for not changing the best name on DU.

2. so... Repuke policies create an American subclass
in dire poverty and need, so that 3 hots and a cot at Gitmo is considered to be "more comforts" than their current circumstances.

"compassionate conservatives" lowering the standard of living for many hard working Americans, so that prison offers a better chance for survival. how evil.

Repukes are always looking for a way to lower the bar in The Race To The Bottom.

3. Should we open it up just for him?
I don't him going away angry, and I hate to see good money go to waste too.

6. There wasn't really a need to spend millions...
other than to pad Cheney's offshore account. Would have been nice if they had chosen to spend that money on accommodations for the troops that weren't deathtraps.
