House Speaker John Boehner said today that he found it painful to be described as "spineless or a squish," but said the worst comments about him was that he was "the establishment."
Boehner's comments came during a news conference where he was touting his conservative credentials and rebutting criticism from the right that he has become too willing to work with President Obama.

Oh, how I’d love to call him an orange faced, cowardly, sniveling little drunk to his face.

Then take a crash course in the writings of men like John Adams, John Quincy Adams (who served in the House of which you are Speaker), James Madison, George Washington, Samuel Adams, and the framers of the Constitution you are supposed to preserve!
Learn courage and leadership from them, and then, go be a statesman--not a politician!
The liberty of future generations depends upon it!

Now hes in the same parallel universe that Obambi and his puppet handlers are in: up is down, black is white, etc.
He truly is delusional or drunk, and has no idea of what conservatism is.
Actually, he’s a DEMOCRAT, spineless, establishment, an alcoholic, and a lying crybaby.

"After all," Boehner continued, "Benedict Arnold was a brave soldier, everybody liked Vidkun Quisling, and Judas Iscariot was a real stand-up guy."
I guess it's a matter of perspective.

“Boehner attended Cincinnati’s Moeller High School and was a linebacker on the school’s football team, where he was coached by future Notre Dame coach Gerry Faust.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Graduating from Moeller in 1968, when U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was at its peak, Boehner enlisted in the United States Navy but was honorably discharged after eight weeks because of a bad back.”

National debt when Speaker John Boehner assumed the position: 14,025,000,000,000
National debt four years into Speaker John Boehner's tenure: $18,084,000,000,000
Additional debt Speaker John Boehner permitted America's enemies to impose on our children and grandchildren: $4.06 trillion dollars.
If Boehner has a spine, it must be in excellent condition. He hasn't used it since he "assumed the position", so those bones should be well rested.
If the truth makes him cry, maybe he should try being less of a spineless squish.
