Unfortunately for the rest of us, Minority Leader Boehner’s sense of humor tends toward the towel-snapping, bullying, ass-holery that Toby detailed yesterday.
Of course, being bad at jokes would be secondary—tertiary, even—if Boehner worried less about being amusing and more about being productive. And when I say “productive,” I mean for the country, not just for the communications strategy of the Party of No.
But that would require leadership—a special and outwardly interested kind of leadership—and an ability to learn from past mistakes. But I don’t think the Man from Tan made it to class that day. . .
Boehner. . . Boehner. . . .

dood was drunk and he’s a mean drunk as demonstrated by those verbal jabs at the press.
We could make a serious dent in the country’s deficit if he would just turn off his goddamn tanning machine. Imagine the energy savings. By my reckoning, we could power up the eastern seaboard for a year. Free.

Dugg Here!
“Six consecutive weeks” of work? Wow! That’s rough. No wonder you’re half lit…
someone should do an ad highlighting the fact that BONER thinks so little of his duty as the people’s representative as to come to work DRUNK.
He’s slurring more than Bush did at the Olympics, sheesh.
I recall thinking of Boris Yeltzin when I saw this. Despite the part Boehner has played in making his party a pie-fight, if I were in charge of
RussiaThe House Republicans, I’d be shitfaced all the time, too.He’s still an asshole and a jerk – just a drunken asshole and a jerk. Dugg.
And this really is the “best and the brightest” the GOP has to offer. They wonder why they are floundering in the wilderness.
Not at all. Adam Putnam, Eric Cantor, Jeb Hensarling, Paul Ryan, etc.
But they better start playing poker with Boehner soon, cause they will need to build up to his capacity for gin.
“She’s breaking up! She’s break….”
I think there’s a really good angle there, although I doubt those responsible for putting together such a spot would have the b..um nerve.
“if I were in charge of Russia The House Republicans, I’d be shitfaced all the time, too.”
LOL!
WTF is wrong with these assholes ,the word is Democratic is that so fucking hard to say
He wasn’t drunk Rush shared some of his Oxycontin with him!
Yup. Drunk.
The republicans should probably all stay away from orange ties after Jindal’s beautiful work after Obama’s not state of the union.
It is if you are, as you noted, an asshole.
Hey, did you guys see that Ian Welsh caught the biggest stingray EVAH? Check the second pic.
Obama’s calling for a NO NUCLEAR world!

I listened to the clip a second time (if you can believe it) and you’re right. This guy is a mean drunk. What’s more, he actually thinks he’s being witty and clever – an arrogant, mean drunk. On the other hand, nice shade of orange he’s getting from the
cancertanning machine.New name for the Bronzed One: “Ohian Tropic”
Heavy sigh. What were Ohioans thinking to elect this man? As an Ohioan, I am embarrassed.
O’hi’an Tropic — like that!
