Boehner is an idiot.
Given this particular conversation, I think you're being kind.
The NSA was given the job of spying on those who would harm us. As I understand it, they were specifically NOT supposed to be routinely spying on AMERICANS, HERE IN AMERICA.
Now it turns out they've been routinely spying on ALL OF US. AMERICAN CITIZENS! HERE!
Not only that, but HIDING it from us.
I don't know why anybody finds this acceptable.
