Longtime Clinton adviser Blumenthal slammed Boehner as 'alcoholic' and 'lazy' in email

A longtime confidante of Hillary Clinton dismissed House Speaker John Boehner as "louche, alcoholic, and lazy" in an email to Clinton's personal account that was released by the State Department late Monday.

The email sent by Sidney Blumenthal on Election Day 2010 was one of many missives sent from Blumenthal to Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state that touched on domestic politics and foreign policy.

Blumenthal's email, with the subject line "election day memo on post-midterms," was sent on the afternoon of Nov. 2, 2010, the day the GOP took control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. Blumenthal, who had described the Republicans in an August email as being "captive to the swamp fevers of the extreme right", said that Boehner, then the House Minority Leader, was "despised by the younger, more conservative members of the House Republican Conference. They are repelled by his personal behavior."

Both true — and that still makes him a vastly better human being than Sid Vicious.

Not withstanding Sid’s vitriolic tone, that would explain a lot.

louche — adjective — disreputable or sordid in a rakish or appealing way.

Only a douche like Sydney Blumenthal would ever use a word like louche.

I have to disagree with that as a description of Boehner.

He is disreputable, but certainly not in a rakish or appealing way..

Glad this email was made public. These Republicans who "cross the aisle" think that these Democrats are their friends.

I bet they say nasty things about John McCain and Mitt Romney behind their backs as well.

Both true — and that still makes him a vastly better human being than Sid Vicious.

Heck, both being true still makes McConnell a better individual than Obola, Hillary, Bill Clinton, AND Sidney Blumenthal!

But is STILL leaves any, every and all of them better power-brokers and Washington dictators than McICantatall.

Big whoop.

Hillary Clinton is a corrupt federal official getting away with multiple blatant and obvious felonies.
