Boehner pulls a boner.

John Boehner is a pub House member from Ohio. I don't know if he is a drinking man. If he is this would have been a good weekend for him to get drunk. Last week he spoke at Michelle Bachman's Tea Bag Mess on the Capitol steps. I'm sure he would have rather been wrestling badgers. Despite the fact that he is a conservative pub, he does come off like a man who believes in this country and our system of government. He does not come off like a wild eyed loon who believes the force fed radical rights nonsense, bought and paid for by powerful interests who believe it is their God given right to bleed the American middle class of every dime and then refuse to treat them for their injuries.
But the Bachman Palin Thunderhead Express is in overdrive and woe be to any pub who tries to stand in its way. I guess old John Boehner figured if you can't beat them, try to get re elected. So there he was in front of the mostly over 65 crowd waving signs equating Obama with fascism, and Nazism, and any thing that has ism at the end of it, since to the dumb ass wing of the right wing the word ism is a bad word. They would probably protest altruism because it ends is ism.
It wasn't bad enough that he looked as out of place as a boy scout at a Hells Angel rally. He then set out to embarrass himself in a way that astounded and amazed. He stood a the podium and whipped out his handy dandy bite size edition of The US Constitution, you know,the one that all cons and pubs carry around with them even at the local public pool or when they are tapping other men's feet in an airports public restroom. The one they immediately whip out and start reading if they find themselves thinking impure thoughts or engaging in impure deeds. The one they read over and over as they flagellate themselves with the American Flag to atone for sins. Sins like thinking, maybe, just maybe, it could be a country where all citizens could be free of the fear of having their lives ruined by a curable disease,even if they are in tough economic times.
Then John John muttered these soon to be famous words. "I hold here in my hand my copy of the US Constitution, I'm going to read from the pre amble." Then he quoted the Declaration of Independence! The Declaration is not part of the Constitution. It was written decades before the Constitution. The Constitution was written so that we would have a stronger Federal government, because the Articles of Confederation were not working. I now this, you know this, the leader of the House pubs does not.
That is why you can't reason with a con or a pub. They, at the most basic of levels, don't know what the Hell they are talking about. Boehner should be required to take a Junior High civics class before he ever opens his mouth again. I always liked John Boehner because he seemed to be a sincere guy. He did not seem like a cringe worthy fool like Bachman and Palin. But after that performance, he makes those two semi literates look like political mensa members. Have a drink on me John your going to need it.
