In his most forceful language yet against GOP detractors, House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that he dislikes being described as "spineless or a squish" by conservative Republicans, but that the label that stings him the most is when he's called a part of the "establishment."
"I am the most anti-Establishment Speaker we have ever had" he told NBC News at his first solo press conference of the new Congress. "Who was the guy who got rid of earmarks? Me. Who's the guy who believes in regular order? Me. Who believes in allowing more members to participate in the process, from both sides of the aisle? Me."

He’s just like Obama, delusional. They work well together
I guess he’s taking lying lessons from his hero, 0bama.
Boner is a corrupt, lying, self-serving, turd.
The thing that p*sses me off most about these RINOs is their constantly taking us for fools.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. He’s channeling his BFF Soetoro.
Boehner’s lies are more transparent. And that’s an achievement on Obama’s part.
Oh shut up, Squishy.
“Who lied about how he would handle the budget as his first act after the election? Me.”
Isn't that compromise? That is what the problem is.
no squish?
Boner’s the very embodiment of squish!
Mr. Speaker, I don’t want to quibble while you’re busy pontificating, but out in flyover country, we see “regular order” as the problem.
Why do you think we keep sending people to disrupt regular order, and just why do you think we’re so outraged when they fall in line at the trough?
“I’m for the regular order status quo” is not exactly hard proof against being part of the establishment...
Politicians must have access to some pretty potent drugs.
That pic is pretty funny, and quite applicable.
“I’m no squish”, hollered Boehner from his bucket.
I had to read the by line on this a second time. Nope. Not the Onion. Not Comedy Central. Because it sure is a funny article.
So don’t call jb an establisment tool. He might get upset and cry. Or..or...he’ll get really mad and smack you with his man-purse!
