John Bohener wanks the night away

Mr. Tobacco Bribe issued so much crap on Saturday that it was hard to get the smell out of my keyboard.

I came here to renew the American Dream, so my kids and their kids have the same opportunities I had. I came here to fight big-government monstrosities like this bill that dim the light of freedom and diminish opportunity for future generations," Boehner said in a statement.

Freedom allows Boehner to hand out checks in the halls of Congress.

In late June of 1995 then-GOP Conference Chairman John Boehner handed out "about a half-dozen" checks from the political action committee of tobacco company Brown & Williamson Corp. to fellow Republicans on the floor of the House.

Boehner's chief of staff Barry Jackson stated, "We were trying to help guys who needed to get their June 30th numbers up, their cash-on-hand numbers up. All leadership does this. We have to raise money for people and help them raise money."

Boehner was forced to stop handing out the checks when two freshmen Republicans, "appalled by it," confronted him and voiced their displeasure. Boehner's reaction was one of tempered apology, "I thought, 'Yeah, I can imagine why somebody would be upset. It sure doesn't look good.'"

Now that's freedom.

It's truly maddening that such awful politicians are elected.

Jr said that.

Doesn't matter - they all believe it - and now they're positioning Jeb's kid, Prescott, for his turn at ruining the country.

Terrible's picture

that they'd even name a kid for a Nazi financer.

think they are. So this Prescott is a fourth generation oven salesman?

and whose sibling is/was a notorious crackhead?

Yeah, presidential material overflowing in that family of subhuman degenerates. I guess they figure they did not administer the fatal shot with Junior, so they gotta finish the job.

This clan is like a bad case of herpes, they just don't go away...

Imagine you're a naturally compassionate, empathic person who is not inclined to self-aggrandizing narcissism.

Now imagine that Babs is your grandmother, and W is your uncle, (and don't forget dear Aunt Laura), and Miami Mafia Jeb is dear ol' dad.

I might be doing heavy drugs too.

I actually saw Noelle in a fast food restaurant in Orlando a few years back. Gucci and Prada clothes and accessories, a couple of nasty looking attendants/bodyguards staring down anyone who dared to look at her, hair that looked like it hadn't been combed in a long time - and the vacant eyes of either a long-time druggie, or an institutionalized "patient" on very heavy, long-term "medication".

She looked like the real Noelle was buried very, very far down inside - if she's still there at all.

After that I just felt sorry for her - can you imagine what life with that family is like?

And now they're getting Prescott ready to run. That callous, self-serving Bush SOB was everywhere in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, talking about how necessary the invasion was for our very survival.

Yeah, he was everywhere - except a recruiting office. As soon as the invasion was a fait accompli, Prescott disappeared back into the boardrooms of Dallas - making the big bucks while the people he war-mongered to fought his war for him.

Now he's going to pretend to do a little military service so he can get some military cred for his run for office.

I'd vote for Noelle Bush before I'd vote for any other Bush.

as long as it's Cheney's.

And speaking of Boehners, that dimwit with the spray-tan stood on the House steps and after stating he'd read from the preamble to our Constitution started quoting the Declaration of Independence! Oops, what a verbal Boehner!

Lieberman is becoming the real problem for a successful Public Option. Lieberman plans to wear the progressives down and push the Public Option out of the final bill. How do we go after Lieberman and ruin his plans?

Many of the House-passed provisions may wind up not being part of the Senate version. If the Senate passes a separate bill, it will have to be merged with the House plan, giving industries weeks or even months to whittle away at policies they don’t like.

CONgress! We work for you!

Everytime I heard Bush say that my ears would start to bleed. Boehner supported that march to freedom in Iraq and that stupid pathetic war has contributed to our deficit, morally bankrupted us, killed soldiers, ruined families.. and he's worried about afordable health care ruining our freedoms. Hey Boehner, the tanning booth called that want their tacky orange color back you miserable SOB

right on_exclamation point here's picture

just one more corrupt scumbag politician. The obscenity of these a$$es stinks to high heaven, if there be such a thing!

The Stupek amendment - the anti-abortion amendment that supposedly got the needed votes for the House to pass the health care bill - will require women who think they might EVER need to have an abortion - for whatever reason - to have extra insurance coverage if she may someday need an abortion.

In other words - women will have to buy extra insurance up front, just in case.

In other words - the right of a woman to have access to an abortion just became another way for the insurance companies to make a profit - this time off a women facing the worst decision many of them may ever have to make.

They actually found a way to turn a woman's right to control her own body into another money maker for the insurance corporations.

Unfuckingbelievable.

to slam Boehner, could we at least assign someone to go through his old photos?

I am morbidly curious to find out in what year he acquired his unique to the species flesh tones.

Boehner, along with Newt Gingrich and several other Republican lawmakers, was one of the engineers of the Contract with America in 1994 that helped catapult Republicans into the majority in Congress for the first time in four decades.

Are you suggesting the skin coloration resulted from a locomotive boiler incident?

I did not ask why. I asked when.

I should never have entered the speculation about why when Evet lured me with the prospect of Engine 97's boiler exploding.

My fault.

But what happened to the other two Ft. Hood shooters? Are they being given sanctuary in some Islamic embassy?

What I couldn't believe was I was watching the news this morning at 5:00 a.m. and they had very brief news. One channel had a story about the Ft Hood shooting, and showed a clip of holy joe pontificatating about it.

I hate that weasally little turd, and changed stations.

That station was having a very brief story about health care and went to a holy joe clip for a comment.

Why is holy joe all over the news?

Is he the edward cullins of the geriatric political junkies?

I turned my set off.

Holy Joe is playing the same 'gravitas' card as Dick Cheney, 'asking serious questions' about 'Islamic extremism.'

Of course, since everyone thinks the Muslim hordes are going to swarm over the place like locusts, y'know, we'd better give Joe airtime just to be safe.

savannah43's picture

I did not know he was a superhero. I didn't know that about Cheney, either. Anyone know what their powers are?

ricky's picture

not Church of Christ. I held my breath while praying it wasn't so. I hope Joe doesn't probe this faith.

It's more fun to give money to companies that want to kill it's customers than to a bill that aims to help its citizens.

The solutions do not lie in being a crooked, lying, old fart like him -He is so out of touch with what’s really going on in mainstream USA -it’s ridiculous. Freedom can only happen with progressive minds, not the minds of greedy , corrupt, bitter old people living in the middle ages like Bonehead.
He and so many like him -are the same ones who brought us the mess we're in now!
Freedom-Yes
We the people want freedom -from over bloated lying corrupt-self serving politicians who only serve themselves.

Boehner is a Shyster

Shyster is derived from the German term scheisser, meaning literally “one who defecates,” from the verb scheissen, “to defecate,” with the English suffix -ster, “one who does,” substituted for the German suffix -er, meaning the same thing.

Generally used to describe someone who is untrustworthy, money grabbing and full of crap……………

Early Life
Boehner (pronounced bay-ner) was born November 17, 1949 in Cincinnati, Ohio, attended Moeller High School and received a bachelor of science degree from Xavier University (Cincinnati) in 1977 and worked as a businessman.

From Wikipedia:
"...Boehner grew up as one of twelve children in Reading, a neighborhood in Cincinnati. He started working at his father Earl Boehner's cafe, inexplicably called Andy's Cafe, mopping and cleaning up. Boehner remembers, "This was the cleanest place you've ever seen. If the floor wasn't clean, you had to do it over again."

In 1969 Boehner graduated from high school and joined the Navy. He was given an honorable discharge after only six weeks when it was discovered that he had back problems...."

Thanks a lot Boehner, you cowardly fucknuts chickenhawk bastard. During the same period as you were wimping out on your Navy service with a sore ass, I was getting MY Navy ass shot at by Victor Charlie in the lovely Mekong Delta. I hope your permanent tan turns out in the tests to be something other than benign.
