Long before John Boehner called Ted Cruz ‘Lucifer in the flesh,’ he called him his lawyer
The Washington Post ^ | 4/28/16 | Sean Sullivan

Posted on 04/28/2016 12:43:33 PM PDT by blueyon

We are re-upping this post from early 2014 in light of Boehner labeling Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" and saying, "I've never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life." Here's where their work together began, two decades ago.

For what it's worth, Cruz downplayed their relationship Thursday in his comments responding to Boehner. "I've met John Boehner two or three times in my life," he assured.

As we show below, that's not entirely accurate.

“For cryin out loud I have had attorneys for weeks of work that I have hired and maybe spoken 15 minutes with them. This doesn’t mean Cruz knows John Bonehead hardly at all.”

Except it proves Cruz lied when he said he has only spoken maybe 50 words, all pleasantries with Boehner............it you are a lawyer, you will have a few more words then that and not all nice once

When confronted with his previous position as one of his lawyers, Cruz said, “Ohhhh...THAT John Boehner!!! I was thinking of another one...”

Look at the case this was about.

Now technically it might be true. If it involved a team. But surely this isn’t like a real estate deal to buy a farm. This is a lawsuit over a detailed, contentious matter.

To be fair, if “Lucifer in the flesh” and “I’ve never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life” can be used to describe your lawyer, you probably hired a good one.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing!

There’s something missing in this “story” about Boehner vs. McDermitt.

Did he make a 'Clinton-esque' statement?

As in "I never said 50 words to him in the Senate"?

Maybe six months ago. Not now. Ted has been caught flat out Luis too many times. That said IF he’ll freezes over and Cruz is the GOP nominee I will consider it

If Boehner called Cruz Lucifer, it is another reason to vote for Cruz
I’ll Give you that it;s a Great Endorsement

Yep, why would anyone accept at face value what Boehner has to say? He said that for effect and was probably meant to help Cruz and hurt Trump. He knows he is despised.

“Does make it kind of hard to square his assertion that he’s never talked to him - and he did say “in my life”.”

I wonder what Cruz’s bill was, for saying “less than 50 words” to his client Boehner.

I think it is disgusting that fellow Republicans S are
calling each other horrific names. they should be respecting each other’s views! Particularly Cruz who is
the only conservative out there.

I'm not going to defend Boehner just because I don't like Cruz.

Cryin' John was a weasel of the first order who squandered the majority that we gave him, probably because he was compromised in some way, just as Hastert was. Lyin' Ted is just a dumbass who should have allied with Trump instead of fighting him. He might have been able to put together a great team. Now, he will slink away, probably to lose in 2018.

Lucifer was always in the flesh. The word only occurs once in the Bible, Isa. 14.12, where he’s identified as the king of Babylon, v4. Never did refer to Satan.

HUH? Do you have a source that shows where Ted said he never met him?
