Boehner: Judge Congress by how many law it repeals, not passes.

Amid record-low productivity on Capitol Hill this year, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Sunday that Congress should be judged on how many laws it repeals, rather than how many new laws lawmakers enact.

"We should not be judged on how many new laws we create," the nation's top elected Republican said on CBS. "We ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal."

If there is a bigger horse's ass to have ever served in the United States Congress, I would be at a loss to name him. Even Gingrich knew better that to say outlandishly stupid shit like this.

Has he even actually repealed anything? What a stupid excuse for having no power at all over his own people.

It wouldn't surprise me if he had an IV inside his coat pocket pumping himself full of liquor.
