In Praise of John Boehner

Something like "He could be screwing the Republic 50% more than he is but he needs 8 hours of sleep a night" ?

There are some journalists you just don’t want publicly complimenting you.

Boehner is one of only three people (with Tip O’Neill and Nancy Pelosi) who have done the job well in the modern House

Instant objective disqualification - this guy is a screaming democrat!

“given the constraints he has faced.”

Hunh? What constraints? The fifth of scotch he drinks every
day.? That’s self imposed and if he ever sobers up he may
actually have worth. He’s a perpetual drunk.

Let’s see. In the 90s, the had significant budget changes, passed significant welfare reform. Lowered taxes, including a reform of capital gains. Directly after those achievements, we had massive impressive economic growth. All with a politically savvy Democrat president.

Since 2010, we’ve had tax increases, zero oversight, military cuts galore and a confusing series of pointless negotiations with little results. Politically, they failed to pin the gridlock on Harry Reid while they blocked any and every bill out of the House, and they allowed the narrative to change from a failed president with bad policies to a failed congress that can’t function.

Policy-wise, it has been a failure, and politically it’s been a disaster.
