Sid Blumenthal on John Boehner

“Boehner is despised by the younger, more conservative members of the House Republican Conference,” Blumenthal wrote to Clinton. “They are repelled by his personal behavior.”
“He is louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle,” he added.
“He is not Gingrich, the natural leader of a ‘revolution,’ riding the crest into power,” Blumenthal continued as he described Boehner, R-Ohio. “He is careworn and threadbare, banal and hollow, holding nobody’s enduring loyalty.”
He also said Boehner “twitches” if the conservative base makes “gestures that might undermine his position.”
“Boehner is neither feared nor loved,” he goes on. “He’s a would-be DeLay without the whip. He’s the one at the end of a lash.”
Blumenthal said then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is “relatively in the same position in the Senate.”
And yet both men were elected to lead their respective caucuses. The RINO’s who elected them are as pathetic as Boehner and McConnell themselves.
