Click the listen live link at top left. Boehner calls in toward the end of the hour.
I heard a lot of crawfishing in Boehner’s answers, and a lot of misdirection as well. The miserable whining jerk is plotting a surrender without a fight. “I have to make the tough choices for teh American People.” (Translation: “I’m caving.”) He called Limbaugh merely to take the pressure off the other House members who would otherwise be getting the same flood of calls against any deal.
Boehner seems incapable of recognizing that he holds all of the cards. All he need do is wait the Dear Leader out. The CNN poll referenced nearby is proof that the public understands the simplicity of the issue. But, as the Stupid Party always seems to do, they are throwing in the towel and surrendering at the first sign of the enemy.
If he floats a deal that contains any tax increases of any kind, or a 10-year horizon for cuts, the Tea Party Caucus needs to remove Boehner from the Speakership. This is truly the last straw.
