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.

It’s an obviously comfortable shoe. Wear it, Mr Boehner.
Well then .. I wonder how he’ll feel when he reads that I called him a “high school tyrant who was upset because somebody didn’t vote for him”.
And .. that his actions of stripping those voters of their “rights and privileges’” was “JUVENILE AND PETTY.”
I hope that message will get through to him and his (democrat) staff that it’s time to GROW UP - ACT LIKE AN ADULT - AND ACCEPT THAT NOT EVERYBODY WILL LIKE WHAT YOU DO.
Perhaps he should stop being a spineless squish for liberals.
Boehner is Obama’s squish.
Well, if he’d grow a spine, then he wouldn’t get “hurt” so much.
Does Pelosi ever back down? Does 0bama ever back down? Does Reid ever back down?
Hell no they don’t. Boner is the one that’s always “compromising” and “reaching across the isle”(into a mouse trap).
The Imperial Party. Obama is Stalin to Bush’s Lenin or Octavian to GW’s Julius.

Defying a presidential veto threat, the House of Representatives passed a bill approving the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
The vote was 266-153, with more than two dozen Democrats joining nearly all Republicans to pass the measure. It was the first time the legislation passed in the new session of Congress which began Tuesday, but the tenth time the GOP-controlled House has sent a bill approving the pipeline to the Senate.
Rep. Justin Amash, of Michigan, was the only Republican to vote “present,” and 28 Democrats voted to approve the measure.
It’s true.
I prefer “Corporate Whore” myself.
Message to Monsieur Boehner: Pointed criticism is supposed to hurt, otherwise, what’s the point? We are not done reminding you that in your third term as Speaker of The House, you were selected, NOT elected.
Yeah, and Bill Clinton said it bothered him to be called “Slick Willy.”
Maybe if it bothers Boehner enough to be called spineless or a squish, he’ll remember why he’s there and grow a pair in defending our Constitutional republic.
"Now drop and give me 20"
LOL - if it hurts him, that pretty much confirms it!
Never trust a ‘man’ with a woman’s manicure.
Nancy’s taking one for the team. “Ugh!! The things I do for Obola! I deserve my own Holiday!”
You win the internet for today.
Boehner MUST know that we have an illegal, muslim, gay, marxist kenyan as a president.
Why does he suck up to him so much?
What does the Chicago mobster have on Boehner i wonder....
"Under his leadership, the House majority has worked to make the legislative process more open and to ensure the priorities of the American people are reflected in the priorities of lawmakers. John led the drive for an aggressive set of reforms that require bills to be posted online at least three days before a vote, make it easier to cut spending, require legislation to cite its authority in the Constitution, and more."
