...it might possibly have been an easier future and less painful if he had not been re-elected Speaker.....he still has the backstabbing Cantor to have to watch at every moment....

I thought Boehner would be all hung over today, but he didn't look it, did he? Maybe he ate a bunch of those charcoal pills? I'm disappointed that he didn't bawl!

What a beautiful picture of joy of BO and Joe! And we all share in that joy. Thank you EarlG for this picture. I know the post is concerning Boehner, but they just sort of take the whole thing over.

Definitely not from empathy for Sandy victims or the families of those poor folks from Newtown. Seeing him address Congress, in tears once again, moved by himself no doubt, made me envision the headline: Boehner cries, nation unsurprised.

TO HIS OWN FEELINGS. Saw an interview of him and his wife at their bar in his hometown. He got all misty talking about having to clean the place for his dad, for money while he was in school.

Kind of like, my dad, puddling up, telling how he delivered newspapers in the freezing cold dark mornings to earn his first bicycle. My dad really did struggle. Evanston Wyoming, often is the coldest spot in the nation.

Boner, not so much.

The picture, no neccessarily the news. Except that it does sort of prove the lack of actual power even within the Repug party that the Teabaggers have.
