Has Boehner flat out painted himself into a corner?

[Siwsan]

He doesn't seem to be particularly emotionally stable guy, at the best of times. I'm wondering if he is in panic mode, desperately trying to figure out who he fears more - far- right wing congressional republicans or the American public.

1. Hmmm...

He sure seemed stressed.

2. illustration

you could say, he's the "poster child" for this one.

[Siwsan]

6. That is a PERFECT illustration

Well, except for the lack of bronzer stained tear drop water splotches.

3. Boehner sounds French. Let's see his Papers!

4. Boner knows he would lose his job as Speaker if he doesn't kiss the Tea Party's asses.

Too bad he is risking our delicate economic recovery for his own personal gain.

[Siwsan]

5. I suspect losing his Speaker posoition is pretty much a given, no matter what

He has probably put far too many political heads on the re-election chopping block.

14. I agree with you Siwan. We can only hope his working days are numbered!

[Siwsan]

16. He will always have a future as a tanning spray model!

7. Not only him. The entire caucus. They had a chance to end this earlier today by one of the House

vote. They all voted to refuse the Senate bill.

11. they voted on it?

13. They voted on a procedural measure to bring it to the floor in replacement for one of Cantor's bills

8. He does not fear the far-right republicans -- he IS far right himself. A lot of what he is doing is

being done because of his intense hatred of the President.

[Siwsan]

10. Apparently he hates President Obama more than he loves the country

Such are the skewed priorities of the wing nuts. He behaves like he's on a thin wire that's about to snap.

9. The words "Boehner" and emotionally stable" do not belong together in a sentence. n/t

[Siwsan]

12. I was TRYING to be charitable! Admittedly, it was a stretch

I think they guy is on a downward mental wobble.

15. He's between a rock and a hard place, to be sure.

If he violates the sacred Hastert Rule, he's out of a job.

If he doesn't violate the sacred Hastert Rule, he's probably out of a job, anyway.

If he forgets to wear a steel plate on his back when around Cantor, he's definitely out of a job.

19. Boehner and Cantor should retire and go on the road, in Macbeth

A very orange Duncan and a very smarmy Macbeth. Sarah Palin could play Lady Macbeth.

[lastlib]

17. He won't fear the American people as a whole.....

...until they come to his office with torches and pitchforks, tar and feathers; he's elected only by the people in his district and his caucus.

[bigwillq]

18. Boehner can't (and shouldn't) win this fight.

Time to move on, with a clean bill to fund the government.

[Siwsan]

20. He's probably stalling to delay the inevitable

He's got to know he's a goner.

[Peregrine Took]

22. Just an aside but those annoying pretty boy, pastel satin ties of his make me want to puke.

Lots of obnoxious pols wear them. They look like pimps.

[Siwsan]

23. Hey, it's HARD to find a color that doesn't clash with his, umm, unusual complexion!
