Bonus Quote of the Day
"All you need to know about the differences between the president and myself is that I'm sitting there smoking a cigarette, drinking Merlot, and I look across the table and here is the president of the United States drinking iced tea and chomping on Nicorette."
-- House Speaker John Boehner, quoted in The Price of Politics by Bob Woodward.

Cantor and Ryan are far worse.

...Obama is the responsible adult and Boehner is the naughty boy. And note that I said "naughty boy" and not "the embodiment of evil itself," as I might with certain other Republicans.

This will sound strange, but you know, I am somewhat thankful that Boehner is still around.
Imagine how the House would be if Cantor, Bachmann, Lamborn or Price were Speaker.
