Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, asked for his reaction to the resignation of John Boehner, had good things to say about the House Speaker:
"We'll have to see how it plays out," Bush told "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. "I admire John Boehner greatly. He's a great public servant. He left at the apex of his--of his time in service to this--to the country, with the Pope speaking in Congress.
"I think people are going to miss him in the long run, because he's a -- he's a person that is focused on solving problems."
Asked if Boehner's departure is good or bad for conservatives," Bush said he's not sure:
"I think what we need is a conservative president that can work with the Congress. We wouldn't have these problems if you had a president that actually would commit to passing a budget, would commit to a -- you know, repealing Obamacare, reforming our taxes."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also praised Boehner on Sunday: "John Boehner is a very fine person," Pelosi told CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper. "I don't know if I'll miss him," she added. "It depends on what comes next."
Pelosi said Boehner's resignation "is a sign of the disarray in the Republican Party."

One RINO-phuckwit admiring another.
This should come as a surprise to NO one.

> Jeb Bush: ‘I Admire John Boehner Greatly’
And that’s why, Yeb, you will never be president !!!
Bush is so bad . I can’t wait for his “suspension”
“He just keeps digging deeper into the hole.”
Yes he does. I will give Bush 2.5 credit for one thing. He is at least not pretending to anything other than the wobbly center left squish that he is, unlike Bush 1 and 2.
Does he have ANY political savvy? How did he win governor?
YUK! Yeb just doesn’t get it. He won’t get my vote either!
Jeb Bush: ‘I Admire leftwing, fake Republican John Boehner Greatly’
It appears Yeb! believes he has put together a winning coalition of crony businessmen, illegal aliens, and crossover democrats. So now he can thumb his nose at the conservative base.
Another Freeper more eloquent than I described the current situation thusly several years ago:
Since 1933 we’ve lived under something called the Modern State. This entity takes in vast amounts of taxes and redistributes the money to certain constituencies via the federal faucet. The institutional Democratic and Republican parties fight over the direction of the outflow of the federal faucet. This outflow goes to individuals, corporations, the Foreign Policy Community and the Military Industrial Complex, among others. The purpose of the two parties is to collect money from their constituencies to direct that outflow to those constituencies. It’s how business is done in America.
The Modern State is how we project power as the world’s policeman. The Modern State is how we govern and take care of each other. The Modern State is how the Union is held together: a combination of carrot (pork) and stick (a large standing army).
The Tea Party’s goal is to return to a model of federalism last seen before the Civil War, and that means the starvation and demolition of the Modern State. This is why John McCain and David Brooks view the Tea Party as quite literally insane. From their perspective, there is only one way to govern in today’s world, and that is the Modern State. Without the glue of a national debt, a fiat currency, pork and military intimidation, how could the Union be held together, considering that its citizens no longer share a common vision?
This is what terrifies the Establishment. They do not believe that a return to the principles of the Founding Fathers is possible or even relevant in today’s world. They see federalism as the bygone relic of the Republic that died at Appomattox. They view the Tea Party as not merely a threat, not merely subversive, but insane.
This is what we're up against.
It remains what normal Americans are up against. The elites have turned on the mass of the productive class.
‘Wrong Way’ Jeb can’t get anything right.
He would.
This guy is doing and saying everything to deep-six his ‘campaign’.
It’s clear he doesn’t want this.......Must be his wife—the oompa loompa
No surprise there. Jeb is the GOP-e anointed one, a Democrat (not very) lite like the rest of the GOP-e
Shocking that he said this in English.
By his own words, Jeb admires Bill and Hillary Clinton greatly too.
Agree on all points. Great post and great quote.
Birdies of a feather......lol.
“I admire John Boehner greatly. He’s a great public servant.”

And THAT statement tells you everything you need to know about Señor Yeb.
Stay out da bushes!
As it says in the Bible
“But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37).
