Blumenthal: John Boehner is 'alcoholic,' 'lazy,' 'banal'
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/31/15 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 09/01/2015 2:18:00 AM PDT by maddog55

Hillary Clinton confidant Sid Blumenthal had nothing but bad things to say about incoming House Speaker John Boehner on the day Republicans won back the House from Democrats in 2010, according to new emails released by the State Department late Monday.

"Boehner is despised by the younger, more conservative members of the House Republican Conference," Blumenthal wrote to Clinton. "They are repelled by his personal behavior."

"He is louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle," he added.

According to dictionary.com, "louche" means "dubious, shady, disreputable."

"He is not Gingrich, the natural leader of a 'revolution,' riding the crest into power," Blumenthal continued as he described Boehner, R-Ohio. "He is careworn and threadbare, banal and hollow, holding nobody's enduring loyalty."

He also said Boehner "twitches" if the conservative base makes "gestures that might undermine his position."

“He is louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle,”

And yet FR’s liberal wing demanded we re elect him.

I always thought that “Sid the Squid” had not one redeeming feature.

I WAS WRONG!!!

Who will remove him? The other Republicans matching Sid’s description? Which is nearly all of them? The people that re-elected him which match Sid’s description? The Democrats that match Sid’s description?

Not very many options to toasting JonBon here when you think about it. Maybe we should learn from that and stop voting with depraved indifference.

And this thread virtually assures a Jeb nomination. Go ahead and agree with Sid, everybody!

Hope he does. I have had enough of Boehner getting nothing done and then golfing with Barry.

Are you saying that Bhoner isn’t a drunk, lazy and unprincipled?

Please. Do tell. Should we not recognize a truth on the rare occasion a liberal speaks it?

I'm just looking forward to this FR Election-cycle:

poster1: "My candidate is the most conservative!"
poster2: "My candidate is more conservative than yours!"
poster3: "My candidate is more conservative than yours!"
ad infinitum

After the Election, when the milquetoast Republican nominee loses:

poster1: "waah!"
poster2: "waah!"
poster3: "waah!
ad infinitum

The time is ripe for Rush,Sean,Mark to pound for his removal. Business Insider had this as their third story. The more headlines the better our chances are.

Would that be anything like...

“We gotta vote for the guy that can win no matter what!”...

And then WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! on every thread about what we did to ourselves and to America? Like the people crying crocodile tears over the Planned Parenthood fiasco who marched arse into the booth to elect one of their donors and major legislators who moonlights in the Baby BBQ business? Like the people crying the blues over Barry’s cas for terror programs that turn a blind eye to the go-nowhere ‘investigations’ that BHONER personally obstructs regularly?

Like countless other examples on every right wing site out there?

You might think lesser evil solves problems. Some people are smarter than that. Because lets face the truth here. Lesser evil voters put the Jonbons in office after JonBon and mitch CAMPAIGNED on WORKING WITH Barry. And BTW, you didn’t answer my question. Most likely thats because you’d have to admit that I’m right.
