Before British prime minister David Cameron went into his fateful European Union negotiations regarding the euro earlier this month, it is said he used the "full bladder technique". To concentrate the mind on the task at hand he remained "desperate for a pee" throughout both the formal dinner and talks. When it came to sealing the deal he subsequently went and pissed Britain's bargaining position up the wall.
One can only guess what John Boehner's strategy has been during the past week over the payroll tax cuts. But it looks like he employed the "full bowel technique" with equal success. His Tea Party caucus kept stuffing him with rhetorical bran muffins so that every time he went to a microphone he was full of it. Then, when crunch time arrived, the Republican establishment, the White House and Democrats in Congress teamed up and beat the crap out of him.
The Republican party's internal division and public humiliation this week felt like a moment that was such a long time coming it seemed as though it would never arrive. But the ramifications are not limited to Congress. The very mayhem that has been evident in Washington DC this week has been playing out in Iowa and New Hampshire these past few months, and will continue through the coming presidential year. Adrenalin could keep the Tea Party going only so long outside the fetid ecosystem of Fox News, talk radio and the internet, before reality intervened and forced some kind of reckoning. They can't have everything they want, and won't take the considerable amount they can get. So they cast around from crisis to crisis and candidate to candidate exploding with rage and imploding with contradictions until there's very little left but the venom.

Boner is a Tea Partier? Who knew?
Only the Communist Guardian, apparently.
Boner is a dick after yesterday..
A limp one at that.
And I thought we had really gained something by getting rid of Pelosi as Speaker.
The real question in my mind is, who got to Boner? And I ask “Is that a new Ferrari in your driveway, Boner?”
Boehner is a eunich.
And he is NOT a conservative.
John Boehner should change his name to Charlie Brown
Look....we got set up...Just like the special committee which totally failed. One more year of Obama and his cr**.
Why Boehner thought it smart to fight for a year's extension is inexplicable. That he caved means nothing.
Why does the media label all these guys who were in office before the tea party got started (and most of whom voted for bailouts etc) as tea party?
They even label Michelle Bachman as tea party. And even though she did not vote for the bailouts, she was not part of the tea party movement either.

Thanks Cardhu.

Never heard of this writer, but he certainly is crude. I could not finish reading the piece.
Same. Better things by far to do.
Wrong way to fight it. The extension does nothing but continues the current plan through January and February. After that the tax will go up and for the next ten months the paycheck will go down. THE PAY CHECK WILL GO DOWN!!!!! And as things go the communists Democrats and King Obama may not extend for these ten months or he will concede and extend for political gain. If Bonehead had held out for the year and used the discussion that your paycheck would have the same deduction in taxes he would have done something. He is a damn fool. King Obama raised taxes on Real Estate sales and no heavy mention of that.

That probably has the clap, given all the weeping.
