My knee jerk gut reaction about Boner's walk-away.

[Stinky The Clown]

I think he's in over his head, can't herd his crazy cats, and has no fucking clue what to do.

I would not be surprised to see him cede power to someone else. Not step down, necessarily, but somehow leave this to someone else.

[DainBramaged]

1. I think he just needs to start drinking more heavily.

[kenny blankenship]

Now would be a good time for him to blend his drinking problem with pill popping.

That is if he hasn't already followed El Rushbo to the ol' medicine chest.

[KamaAina]

12. "I picked the wrong week to quit drinking."

[DainBramaged]

15. Best one of the week......

[notadmblnd]

2. maybe he should consider a stint in rehab

I think his alcohol problem is interfering with his ability to do his job

[EFerrari]

3. I tend to think these @ssholes are afraid to pull another coup

as they did with the bailout. They've all seen the riots in Greece. They don't want to get shot but only a little bit more than they want to try it.

[lunatica]

4. I agree. He's no leader.

He's cowardly and tries to hide it with bluster.

[Blue_In_AK]

5. Cantor?

:rofl:

[AngryOldDem]

10. In all seriousness, yes.

He's the true Speaker. I'll bet he's squarely responsible for this latest piece of Republican assholery.

11. What's the superlative of gridlock?

LOCKED gridlock? That guy's a piece of work.

6. You know, people complain about us here at DU bickering...I think we're nothing compared

to the teabagging section vs the wall street section of the Repukes.

[white_wolf]

8. Ironically it was Wall Street that helped create the Teabagg section.

It's their Frankenstein monster. Let them own it.

[dionysus]

9. there's something i agree with you about.

[alsame]

14. And I think the Teabaggers are crazy, ignorant ideologues

who actually want the default. Boner is getting pulled in two different directions and he has lost control of the nuthouse.

[GentryDixon]

7. And the President

just called him on not returning his call.

What a shameful piece of work he is. He is so frightened of Cantor and his minions, he has totally shut down.

[bluestate10]

13. The Turtle-man seem to be that someone else. Someone has to step up

in the party of darkness. If no one steps up Obama should evoke his powers to prevent a government shutdown.

[a kennedy]

16. F*CK THE BONER!!!!

Seriously, he's the big man on campus, and I HATE HIM. Is hate to sting???? GOOD!!!

[jwirr]

17. Okay, boner walks out - where does this leave us with those idiot

freshmen who think they know how to govern? Are they a real threat to the passage of the plan?

[elleng]

18. I think you're right.

Rachel has said, for some time, that he can't do his job competently, and its become more and more clear lately that she's right. But, to be fair, them cats are crazier than any others, so its certainly not an easy job.

[demmiblue]

19. I have no idea what happened... just got home.

All I know is Boehner walked out of something.

Any kind soul out there want to fill me in just a wee bit.

:hi:
