Need another reason to despise this guy?

FRUSTRATING STUFF:

And the press is still giving the GOP a pass for its gun obstruction under Obama.

On Sunday, former Speaker of the House John Boehner was asked about the lack of reform following Sandy Hook. He gave a pointless answer about how, “We couldn’t find common ground with the other side,” which CNN host Dana Bash politely accepted.

1. Yeah, I think he thinks he can change history

I haven't forgotten how much I despised him when he was Speaker. It doesn't do a helluva lot of good for him to have a change of heart now.

He's just trying to sell his book. I doubt he really developed a soul.

2. Boehner is a reTHUG Fascist and I've known it for years. But there's no harm in

continuing to point it out! I don't think much of Dana Bash or most of the U.S. media either.
Thanks for the reminder!

3. He thinks he is a good guy because the crazies are so bad

4. His little quips and commentary after the fact

don't amuse me or make him "endearing" or in any way absolve him of his own guilt in making our nation what it is today.

Too little, too late.

He's trying to absolve himself of responsibility for what he enabled and endorsed.

8. His little quips and comments are in jokes

And we're not part of the club. In granting himself absolution for his actions, he also absolves his pals in the media who supported him during his time in office. The little quips and comments are in jokes among folks who were all working together. It's like going to your spouse's reunion (assuming you both didn't go to the same high school). Somebody says, "Onion," and everyone busts up laughing.

Boehner and his media cronies are having a pleasant reminiscence over old times where people died by the bushel basket, and while we're looking at the bodies, they're having a chuckle over the expression on the corpse's face.

9. Unfortunately, there are also people on our side

laughing because he's being "mean" to Ted Cruz.

But, I do get your point and I hadn't thought of it that way.
