Boehner Responds to Reid: 'Go F— Yourself'
weekly standard ^ | 1/2 | weekly standard

"Go f— yourself," Boehner repeated.

Politico reports on the exchange:

House Speaker John Boehner couldn’t hold back when he spotted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the White House lobby last Friday.

It was only a few days before the nation would go over the fiscal cliff, no bipartisan agreement was in sight, and Reid had just publicly accused Boehner of running a “dictatorship” in the House and caring more about holding onto his gavel than striking a deal.

“Go f— yourself,” Boehner sniped as he pointed his finger at Reid, according to multiple sources present.

Reid, a bit startled, replied: “What are you talking about?”

Boehner repeated: “Go f— yourself.”

The harsh exchange just a few steps from the Oval Office — which Boehner later bragged about to fellow Republicans — was only one episode in nearly two months of high-stakes negotiations laced with distrust, miscommunication, false starts and yelling matches as Washington struggled to ward off $500 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts.

I don’t believe Bohner has the balls to do any such thing.

Is this Boehner posturing in hopes of showing other House Republicans how tough he can be ahead of tomorrow’s vote on the incoming Speaker?

Boehner is a child trying to play games with steely-eyed men. They laugh at him and his pathetic posturing.

AKA hall sex.

(Two people living together and the extent of their sex life is when they pass each other in the hallway and say, “F-you”.

Baloney.

Probably begged Reid to use lube next time.

Disgusting pukes—the lot of them.

Boehner and McConnell should both lose their non-leadership positions.

Now, all it needs is a follow-through for the next months.
And then the next four years.
Stock up on the spirits, Boehner.

No friggin’ way.

This is nothing more than blatent in your face bull intended to suggest that Bonehead has a set ahead of the vote for his leadership position, IMHO. No way I buy this....

"... in the White House lobby"

That doesn't take much courage.

Say it on the WH lawn full cameras on you, and then you can get me respect!

Exactly and his “f you” is proof that Boehner is a loser in more ways then just this one.
