Was Boehner a bit sloshed, last night, when he gave his little yell?

[Frustratedlady]

I hadn't seen the clip until this morning, but it sounded to me like he'd had a bit too much "inspiration" which was probably enhanced by his inability to sound strong by yelling and making an ass of himself.

Too little, too late, Boehner. You are such a horrid Speaker of the House. Give it up to someone who can make a speech without a fifth.

Sheesh!

1. Sounds like there was a lot of drinking last night

3. And, someone mentioned the same the night before...

that they could sure smell the liquor when they came out on the floor.

Maybe they should lock the liquor cabinet until the job is done.

2. Last night, night before, night before that.......

[Frustratedlady]

5. Maybe they are trying to emulate Mad Men?

At least the title is right.

4. Perhaps we should give them credit for the one thing they seem to be good at.

So far, they all manage to stand up while giving their little speeches, and I don't think any of them have urped all over the podium. Yet.

6. Now, that's a thought. I guess they don't qualify as teatotalers, eh?

Imagine how obnoxious they would be without the booze!

13. This is why they need to legalize marijuana in the House.

Imagine how mellowed-out they'd be then?

Yo, Mister Speaker-Dude, I wanna introduce a... a... a thing to let us bring hookers with us in the chamber.

Wicked, man. Is this not cool with anyone? Fine. *bangs gavel on a half-eaten bag of Cheetos*

They couldn't get any more embarrassing than they already are. Besides, it appears they're mean drunks.

[Frustratedlady]

14. Thanks for the chuckle!

As to the mean drunk statement, they had a good teacher.

7. It is WRONG any politician is allowed to drink on the job. So ashamed of some in our Gov. :(

impaired judgment from drink is a FACT!

9. Totally agree...

8. I posted last night when he was on that he looked drunk to me.

It wasn't just his voice, he looked trashed.

[Frustratedlady]

18. I agree. His gestures were choppy and he seemed to be

having problems getting his thoughts out. At first, I thought it was because he was trying to sound strong and decisive, but then he got slobbery/spitting.

He never should have had the job with no more control than he has.

He wasn't crying, was he?

[SomethingFishy]

10. Great.. Our fate is decided by a bunch of drunken frat boys.

This is going to end well

11. Drunkenness is another freaking Republicon "Family Value" ? WTF

That's right up there with the Republicon's extramarital wide-stance, diaper-clad, hooker-enriched Biblically 'pure' sex family values.

16. No problemo

They just go to fundy church on Sunday and all that nasty stuff just "goes away"

[Frustratedlady]

17. That's right on. When I see a headline about some politician...

involved in an illegal sexual situation, I automatically think...Oh, another Republican got caught with his zipper down. Sure as shootin' it turns out to be another Pub that bit the dust.

[Myrina]

12. Better question is: when ISN'T he sloshed?

[Frustratedlady]

15. I seem to recall that they published Pelosi's liquor bill...

Anyone seen Boehner's?

[Gothmog]

19. Is the sky blue?

Of course he was drunk
