WHAT A CROCK

Incoming House Speaker John Boehner babbled like a new born baby throughout his 60 Minutes interview yesterday because he is, as his wife explained for the choked up Speaker, dealing with the emotionalism having gone from a poor kid who mopped floors to get an education, to third in line to the Presidency. When reminded of his incredible journey, Boehner burbled a barely audible "Welcome to America".

Boehner has spent the last twenty years in Congress gaining that wealth and power on the backs of his working class brothers and sisters who have not only been ignored by his governing mantra, they have been made to pay for the unconscienable wealth being inexorably funneled from the working folks to the super duper rich. Investment in Amercian jobs to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and create a green energy economy? No. Trillions for senseless wars and senseless tax cuts for the super duper rich? Yes. Encouragement to outsource millions of American jobs to pump up the wealth of his already wealthy supporters and donators? Absolutely.

If Boehner would spend a little less time honing his tan at exclusive golf courses and a little more time communing with the millions of suffering unemployed and underemployed, he would shed tears not currently associated with that slimy reptile in the swamp.
