For those in the public eye, people like Boehner usually go into detox and treatment . One branch of government is extremely dysfunctional with this man at the helm. From what I know of alcoholism it is a progressive disease, and a mere "drying out" does not do anything to help the sick person. There has to me a 'spiritual awakening" and a psychic change. A person does not become alcoholic overnight, and a cure does not happen quickly. The answer to the problems in the House are that we have a very weak and sick person in charge. If he were driving a car he would have his license revoked. Instead he is driving our country into the ground. The House needs a good, strong leader. Even though Eric Cantor revolts me, he at least was sober. It is time for mr. Boehner to go to rehab. His preexisting condition is covered. If he is drunk at the wheel let's remove him for cause. If he is sober we have an even bigger problem.

These children in adult bodies filled with intolerance and hatred of others, are getting on my nerves.
Truth about Boehner is, in reality, he probably has little to no hatred of anyone, just wants to get drunk and play golf, but he is told what to do by people who are motivated SOLELY by hate, i.e. teaparty

Mayor Ford did, even as the world mocked the symptoms of his disease, it can be done.
Alcoholics recovering in the public eye are surely the modern equivalent of lepers. Humans seem to need monsters to fear and loathe.

(15,237 posts)I take it with his mood swings and apparent inebriation Boehner has multiple issues he is third in line of Presidential succession. As one who regularly despises and ridicules Sarah Palin, the recent video of her on the stage in Colorado I now genuinely wonder about her mental health. I will probably not look at her the same again. Someone let her on the stage in that condition.
