Related: About this forumBoehner re. Steve King “What an asshole,”
http://www.texasmonthly.com/story/behind-the-scenes-of-joaquin-castros-first-year-in-congress?fullpage=1On a day not too long after Boehners political body check of Steve King for his immigration comments, the speaker was milling around the aisle walkway in the middle section of the House floor where the Democratic and Republican territories meet. Another Texas Democrat and I were standing a few feet away, and as the speaker passed us we thanked him for denouncing Kings offensive comments. He slowed his stride and then paused to turn toward us. What an asshole, he said. My thoughts exactly, Mr. Speaker.

I wish I knew where I heard this first. It could be true but the man has a lot of competition for who hates them most.

...on the subject of assholery, he should have no trouble recognizing one.
After all, he gets lots of practice when he gets up in the morning and looks in the mirror every day.
