Boehner continues to truckle and do the WH bidding. This is a big mistake and should cost him his leadership role.

I was outraged at that.....(I keep my reading of the news to no more than an hour a day, quickly replaced with Christmas music to soothe my wounded soul) I knew Boehner was not to be trusted and that is the proof. A+++

DrK isn't truckling to anyone in his recommendations. We can only pray Boehner is replaced and sanity returns to the spineless GOP in the House.

Truckle

Having a tick land on you will tickle, having a truck land on you will truckle.

I, seriously, cannot believe StarBucks put that on their cups. Did they have a come to Jesus moment?

Barack wants the right-wing to truckle
To bend over backwards and buckle
I tell them, “Stand firm”
Never bow to that worm
Don’t be the chin, be the knuckle

It would be nice if Santa needed to truckle his gifts down from the North Pole, but a few more years of democrat economics and he’ll be able to send them in a single letter.

62 and gloomy-I’ve been hiking through the fog...

Obama’s minions learn early
Exactly how best to truckle
In such a Chicago mob style
It has to make you chuckle

If Gotti or Giancana lived
And still were holding sway
This could not be more like
Things were in Nixon’s day

With enemies lists and threats
The whitehouse mafia so divine
Whips the new Haldemans and Liddys
Until they run to get in line...

Wasn’t there was another mobster that Nixon was very close to-Bebe Rebozo?

Most of the reindeer have already applied for unemployment benefits after being laid off for another season, a few got workers comp SIBS for leg injuries. Another bad year, and some of them will likely hire a lawyer and try to fake injuries for SSDI...

There once was a day when the US did not truckle to its attackers.

When begging for a ride, if they don’t have a car, a truckle do.

No, they simply published somebody else's views on their cups. Their "The Way I See It" series (notice that this one is #92 which means that there are AT LEAST 91 other entries in the series) contains little statements of opinion from various people who have submitted them for publishing. That cup is a statement of the way Rick Warren sees it, and not at a a statement of how anyone at Starbucks sees it.
