David Corn: Where's Boehner, Canter? Hiding. Emabarrasing lack of leadership

David Corn ?@DavidCornDC
Where's Boehner? Where's Cantor? Neither one has spoken on the House floor? They're hiding. An embarrassing lack of leadership.

A speaker who doesn't speak

Oh, I see Boehner on the House floor.....No, wait. I was wrong. It's an empty chair. #cliffnotes.

Various media reports: Boehner voted for the bill. So why not explain that? Maybe he could have gone to the well and blinked in Morse code.
