Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid privately told fellow Democratic senators this week what he really thought of Speaker John Boehner.
“He’s a coward,” Reid angrily said, referring to Boehner’s private push for federal health care contributions for lawmakers and their staff. Boehner later backed legislation to end those subsidies in order to win points with House GOP conservatives. “He’s a coward!” Reid exclaimed.
Reid’s outburst — confirmed by several sources attending a Senate Democratic policy luncheon on Tuesday — is the latest example of how the relationship between the nation’s top political leaders is now brimming with acrimony, distrust and pettiness at a perilous time for the country’s economy. The government shutdown — the first in 17 years — is in its fourth day with no end in sight.

Excellent!
...and true.
I don’t know about Boehner, but if that POS said that to me, he would be defacating out his mouth from today till eternity.
I think that Boehner is a hero! Actually, for two reasons:
(1) He is demonstrating that Reid (Democrats) can dish it out, but cannot take it!
(2) Boehner is a gentleman for not impeaching Reid for dereliction of duty for failing to prepare a Budget for five years in a row!
mojito: “That’s just in the Senate. You can still badmouth and humilate House Reps.”
Apparently so...
henkster: “I would stand up and ask Harry if those rumors of his sexual abuse of corpses while he was an undertaker were true.”
Except that sexual deviancy doesn’t have the same impact in Democrat circles as it does in Republican ones.
because reid knows the cry baby is a COWARD! RINO!
Boehner is a coward. Reid is evil.
I want to see fist fights on the floor like in Korea and Japan!
Bah, back in the good ol’ days, Congresspeople used to cane each other.
Speaker Boehner has the courage to publicly oppose the Senate leader and their attempt to force the public to pay for abortions under the guise of public health care.
For that, he has my appreciation.
