Ted Cruz isn't going to have the last word in his feud with former House Speaker John Boehner, as the lawmaker who branded Cruz 'Lucifer in the flesh' is set to have some fun before all of political Washington at the White House Correspondents Dinner, MailOnline.com has learned.
Boehner is still seething over Cruz having branded him 'Lucifer in the Flesh' during a Stanford University speech this week. Boehner repeated his 'son of a bitch' characterization when the DailyMail spoke to him at a low-key DC waterfront watering hole just as most of DC was heading to glitzy lobbyist-subsidized parties. 'After he got elected, he never spoke to me a single time,' Boehner fumed suggesting it was Cruz who was in bad form by not approaching the senior lawmaker with whom he had worked before. Cruz put it differently on Thursday, when he said: 'I've never worked with John Boehner I've never known the man' as a way of fending off Boehner's searing attack. Boehner did a video taping on Friday, suggesting he may play into some kind of a sketch Saturday night, but would only hint at what might be in store.
'Before the weekend, there'll be some news,' he said cryptically, after taking time to meet a group of young teachers at Jefferson Academy high school in DC. Boehner has also clashed repeatedly with Tea Party conservative members of the GOP-controlled House who favored no-holds-barred tactics including shutting down the government if necessary to meet their goals, so it's unclear exactly who might get branded in his routine. President Obama is set to speak at the dinner, while Larry Wilmore is delivering the traditional stand-up comedy routine.

Is he going to cry too the spineless little wanker?
Rat on rat mortal combat.
Is he planning to switch parties?
Next thing ya know, Boner will be claiming he ruled as a Conservative.
If Boner had a son-in-law...
Settle scores? Agent Orange? The Devil you say...
Was there a FReep outside the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight? I didn’t see a thread...
So, we’re going to see the mean drunk come out in him after all this time? Should be good for a few zingers if he can keep it intelligible.
“former House Speaker John Boehner, as the lawmaker who branded Cruz ‘Lucifer in the flesh’”
If the former Weeper of the House thinks this about Cruz, it would be interesting to hear what he has to say about Dave Brat, who knocked off the Weeper’s best friend forever—Eric Cantor. Let it all out Boehner, and have a good cry while you’re at it, about all those mean conservatives who wanted to defund ObummerCare and reduce spending.
Go suck on a bottle of scotch, Boner.
Looking forward to seeing the fight! Actually rooting for Boehner. Cant believe it.
DJT, Jr. is there to absorb the barrage of punches that are coming from Hussein and Larry Wilmore, the racist jackass providing the standup “comedy.” Drunken d-bag Boner likely will be part of Bathhouse Barry’s shtick.
Roast? Ohh, as in Foster Brooks.
No invocation given after the National Anthem. Figures with a ballroom full of atheists. Doubtless there will be no blessing to close the event.
The Tearjerkers’ Roast.
Im having a hard time deciding which one i hate worse?
Obama’s court jester: so fitting a finish to his career.
Imagine the 2017 WH Correspondents Dinner with The Donald and lovely Melania at the head table. There will be NO idiot conservative-hating comedians allowed. ;-)
So no FReepers outside the Hilton this year? My husband and I had the great honor to FReep the WHCD a few times in years past with the DC Chapter. We ticked off and surprised a lot of the libs heading into the Hilton. Great fun!
