Boehner disagrees with Palin on impeaching Obama

By Ed O'Keefe July 9 at 11:17 AM

House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) disagrees with Republicans calling for the impeachment of President Obama.

Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Tuesday joined a growing chorus of Republicans calling for the impeachment of Obama, writing in an op-ed that the influx of young illegal immigrants over the southern border "is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, 'no mas.' "

"I disagree," Boehner said when asked by reporters Wednesday morning. When a reporter pointed out that some House Republicans also are calling for impeachment, Boehner said again: "I disagree."

"...chorus of Republican 'leaders'" have to cling to? Freaking morons, idiots and hateful no nothing's say what?

Put Palin and the other "leaders" in front of an American flag clutching a gun and a Bible with that same smirk, the image fits perfectly.

Just the name "Sarah Palin" implies incompetence and irrelevancy.
