[spanone]

1. good, because he sucks at it.

[graywarrior]

3. One of them is Man-O and it ain't him

[hvn_nbr_2]

34. He meant ManO-a-ManOrange. nt

[graywarrior]

38. hahahaahhahaha!

[spanone]

39. 'dealing with boehner is like dealing with orange jello'

[SharonAnn]

2. Well, he at least called him by his proper title. Maybe Boehner's smarter than I thought.

[femmocrat]

4. He must realize how badly he sucked.

heheheh

[femmocrat]

13. From the comments:

"He'd much rather go mano a mano with Jim Beam." (Mike Irwin)

:rofl:

[Parker CA]

18. That's exactly what I took from this. "Why do I have to be the one? It's well past happy hour, and

my face is still only the sober shade of orange. Somethin is not right here, Cantor!"

[MichiganVote]

5. So he's done with the crying stuff now?

[tishaLA]

6. quit then, crybaby

And keep some fucking dignity

[flamingdem]

7. That's right. He signed up to kiss the CULOS of the megawealthy and their lobbies nt

[Mz Pip]

8. Then why do it?

Boner is always out in front of the camera whining about some shit. Maybeif he doesn't like his job he can just retire to the country club and drink and play golf all day.

THat's pretty much what he does anyway.

[JohnnyLib2]

9. Now, that's believable.

:evilgrin:

[Cleita]

10. Then what did he sign up for?

Going mano a mano with the President, if he's of a different Party, is the Speaker's job.

[jberryhill]

22. It doesn't have to be

It's possible to imagine a reality-based government in which the actors may differ on how to achieve the same set of goals. But our problem now is that we can't seem to get consensus on what the goals are.

[Parker CA]

11. No shit! Boehner thought he was signing up for going shot for shot at the local dive. nt

[Auntie Bush]

37. aybe he thought he was just signing up to play golf with the President.

[SoutherDem]

12. Mano-a-childish brat

[AC_Mem]

14. He could never hold a candle to the President of the United States

He is a LOSER and a LIAR.

2012 is coming and democrats will WIN.

The people will speak loudly this time. 2010 won't happen again.

[MadMaddie]

27. Damn straight Annette!

Wisconsin is the beacon and the rest of the country will follow....

[Renew Deal]

15. I think Boehner has hated most of this.

Because it's exposed his powerlessness.

[anneboleyn]

30. Me too. He wants to sip his vodka tonics in the corner, and chat up donors, not argue

with the teabagger nutcases over what should have been a routine procedure.

[Renew Deal]

31. That's right

;)

[gateley]

16. Again, I gotta say I bet he rues the day he ever got that gig. nt

[UTUSN]

17. Is this a for-real thread?!1 n/t

[Blue Owl]

19. does the O stand for Orange?

n/t

[RagAss]

20. Sorry Boner....but we do have some beer and travel money for you.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. That's Drunko Orango - a - mano for you, Boner. nt

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. Actually, that is a part of his job description in our modern political system.

If he wants that to change, he needs to end the partisan politics which now rule. Otherwise, he needs to suck it up and continue to be the leader/messenger of the Republican ruled House which is currently set on a default.

[KurtNYC]

24. Yes he did.

Unless the Kochs told him differently.

[MadMaddie]

25. He is probably crying in his Vodka now because he knows

he looked like a fool.

The Washington servers are crashing because people are contacting their congress critters....

Looks like ole Johnny lost this battle....

[sakabatou]

26. Hey, Boner, are you gonna cry about it?

[Dawson Leery]

28. Boehner prefers to take off at 6 pm and drink.

[TNLib]

29. I thought that was kind of one of the jobs of the speaker of the house

especially within the GOP. He's not very good at it though. He doesn't have the scariness Newt or that bug killer had.

[abbeyco]

32. Tough shit, tan-man

You got elected to the job as Speaker. If you can't deal with it, and all the tears that come with it, then quit - just retreat to your Merlot and Bushmills, or whatever the hell else you use to bring on your crying jags, and leave governing to a real adult. Sorry fucker.

[Ruby the Liberal]

33. Ahahahahaha!

:rofl:

Drink up, John. Different world actually having to lead, no? :beer:

[dkf]

35. That is funny!

Lol

[madokie]

36. I think there is a good possibility that orange man will want to spend more time with family

and up and resign any day now. He's pretty much newt'd himself already and we know how that one turned out. The voters turned the newtster out to pasture the first chance they got after he jumped the shark like boner now has.
Boehner will resign shortly is my prediction.

[loyalsister]

40. He's pretty pitiful

He had to be pissed at the tea party when he said that. Obama gave him credit for not being one of them then he gave a speech full of tea party talking points.

[Baby Bear]

41. "mano a mano" means "hand to hand."

Spanish is a funny language. The ropa isn't rope and the sopa isn't soap.
And the butter is "meant to kill ya."

[markpkessinger]

42. As Bette said to Joan...

... in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane:

Ah, but ya are, Blanche, ya are in that chair . . .

[mmonk]

43. Did he mean Mango-A-Mano? His orange color reminds me of one.

[progressoid]

44. Mango-A-Mano!
