Mr. Dodd, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee has already been hearing from Republican senators who are unhappy with his decision to forge ahead without first reaching bipartisan consensus. Now House Republicans, according to Mr. Boehner, are arguing that Mr. Dodd’s proposal is too far apart from the financial regulation overhaul bill the House passed in December.

Here’s what Mr. Boehner said, according to MarketWatch:

“Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves,” Boehner said. “All of us are hearing from our friends and constituents on lack of credit, you can’t get a loan, the more your government takes and taxes, the more regulations you have to comply with the more cost you have there and less amount you are going to have available to loan to customers.”

:crazy:

1. I've always wondered if Boehner leaves an greasy orange stain on whatever he touches

or wherever he sits. Anyone know?

6. He turns into an Oompa-Loompa every night at midnight.

The only explanation I have for that hideous hue he claims is his skin.

8. LOL. I think you nailed it.

Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What would you do with the punk staffers?
The G O P is pain in the neck
Why don't you try simply taking a bribe?
Or could you just damn them to heck?

9. That is the best thing, ever.

I am going to copy that and post it repeatedly in threads about Boner.


Credit goes to fellow Duer AllenVanAllen who emailed me this in Feb.

2. I hope they can run this clip 24/7 in his district.

Thanx for the campaign issue Boner. Siding w/ bankers over working people ..... small businesses, farmers, and home owners all of
whom need credit but Boner knows where the money to support his golf vacations is coming from.

4. "All of us are hearing from our friends"...

which friends, Mr. Boner?

7. Oh, don't you love this line?

"Republican senators who are unhappy with his decision to forge ahead without first reaching bipartisan consensus."

Afterthey've made clear their intent to block any Democratic legislation, they're pissed cause Dodd didn't reach 'bipartisan' consensus? Wouldn't that be like sitting forever in front of a brick wall instead of finding the gate to go through it?
