TWITLER *does* have an accomplishment, despite everything, to wit, that he is so bad he's made Shrub look not quite that bad, and now we might even miss BOEHNER, who is not saying anything about the jerks that WE didn’t know, it’s just refreshing for him in his party to say them out loud.

Sigh. If only we in a democratic/transparent/free-speech country could be told all along what the jerks are up to in real time, instead of having to wait for the “reporters” to write the tell-alls after the campaigning is over.

Among the ones missing: Devin NUNES, who is continuing to flog Hillary et al. where CHAFFETZ (DUKAKIS’s step/step-son) left off.

The 24 most amazing John Boehner quotes in one amazing John Boehner story

.... 3. "F*** Jordan. F*** Chaffetz. They're both assholes."
That's Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and former Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah that Boehner is referring to. Jordan -- one of the founders of the House Freedom Caucus, an influential bloc of conservatives -- is someone with whom Boehner repeatedly clashed in his time as speaker. Chaffetz, who left Congress earlier this year for a job at Fox News, is talented but selfish, according to Boehner -- a "total phony."

6. "DeLay and I were never close. Matter of fact, half the stab wounds in my back are from him."
Tom DeLay, who spent years as House majority whip, is not likely to be on the Boehner Christmas card list. ....

8. "F*** you."
Boehner's response to Alaska GOP Rep. Don Young after Boehner says Young held a 10-inch knife to his throat in a dispute over earmarking.

10. "Heritage was a respected conservative think tank, and he turned it into some half-assed political operation."
Boehner's take on former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint. (DeMint was removed as the head of the Heritage Foundation earlier this year.) ....

14. "He's the most miserable son of a bitch I've ever had to work with."
Boehner on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, whom he blames for forcing the government shutdown to benefit his own political future. ....

23. "I called him and said, 'Listen, you're nuts.' "
This conversation between Boehner and conservative mouthpiece Sean Hannity must have been a doozy. ....

4. Gee thanks, John

I guess it's . . . heartening? No, that's not really the word. You've left this colossal mess behind, and left it for the rest of us to clean up. But now, at last, at the toxic dump end of things, you will finally tell us what you really think of the people you propped up, enabled, defended, and appeased for all those years before you scuppered out the door.

Without, of course, the first word, the first syllable, the first inarticulate noise, conceding your own role in this horrible state of affairs that threatens the very existence of the country.

Well you know something, John? Fuck you. Just fuck you. I don't want to hear it. The day is long past when you could have done something about all this bullshit. NOW you finally get around to telling us what was obvious to everyone all those years, but that you denied and covered up. And not just denied, but actively ruined the lives and careers of people who tried to do something about extinguishing this flaming dumpster you presided over.

Just fuck you, John Boehner.

5. Excellent.
