On Thursday, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) made his first-ever appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” in which he discussed his background and some of the issues of the day.

“I don’t have any problem with the Tea Party,” Boehner said. “Those people have brought great energy to the political process. Most of them have never been involved before. You know, when you agree with someone 90 percent of the time, they’re not your enemy. My problem was with some Washington organizations who purport to represent the Tea Party who I think mislead them. There’s nothing I could ever do that was conservative enough for them.”

He is completely unfit for his job.

“Those people”????????????? Admission he’s not in favor of Taxed Enough Already???????????

[ZULU]

A perfect example of how the American political system rewards mediocrity is this clueless jerk.

In the past having clowns like him in office was not a big deal. The government was so small nobody really cared.

But since that para- Marxist FDR expanded the role of the Federal Government and most of successors built on that, the consequences of idiots like Boehner and villains like Obama have grown more and more ominous.

Mr. Speaker, you might agree with us 90% of the time, but it DOESN’T SEEM THAT WAY!

[4rcane]

Agree with 90% of things? Really? More like pretend to agree with 90%. Boehner don’t even satisfy the very basic principle of being a Conservative, balance budget. Live responsibly

“Those people”?

Really? Boehner thinks of TEA partyists as “those people”?

No Speaker for you.

[Perdogg]

In my opinion, he sounded like he was slurring his words.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Let me guess. Leno went after Boehner like he went after Cruz, right?...

[IncPen]

Hey Boehner: Get off the talk show and defend the Constitution.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Did he cry much? Did he have his orange spray on tan.

Hey Boehner: Get off the talk show and defend the Constitution.

Defend it? Except for the Bible, there's no document on God's green earth the beltway has less use for.

Orange and drunk are no way to go through life. Red wine... more like EVER CLEAR!

[logic101.net]

I think he should play more golf; in other words retire!

[logic101.net]

Wait, maybe not; it would be good to have more than one moderate running for Pres in order to, for once, split their vote so maybe we could get a conservative. Instead we have 7-8 conservatives and 1 moderate and get stuck with the moderate.

[Old Yeller]

When the SHTF, he’ll be running for his life.

“You know I do drink red wine, smoke cigarettes and I’m not giving that up to be president of the United States.”

Speaker of the House. Speaks. Volumes. Leaders lead. In his own words, he's just "a man talking a walk." The "Me" comes first. Take a good look at him and his colleagues, every time they appear before the cameras. A real good look. These are men accustomed to fine suits, expensive shoes, hand made silk ties, and flawless anchorman haircuts. A good tan, and a day on the golf course. The perks of office. Throw the bastards out.
