Back on April 28, we learned in rather comical terms that John Boehner is not a fan of Ted Cruz. At all. So much so that according to NBC the former Republican House Speaker told an audience at Stanford University that the Texas senator is "Lucifer in the flesh" and a "miserable son of a bitch."

Overnight, the former House Speaker, a stalwart of the old GOP establishment, chimed in again in the aftermath of the Cruz fiasco and summed up his reaction to Cruz's controversial RNC speech in three words, according to a former aide: "Lucifer is back."

I had forgotten that he said that. He was right.

[sagar]

Boner is good now.

[RummyChick]

I guess I will apologize to boehner on this one matter

Takes one to know one. Weeping Johnny “0bama’s Lickspittle” Boehner has no business criticizing anybody. It’s really disgusting to see supposed conservatives on a supposedly conservative forum latch on to Boner’s judgment as though it was actually worth something.

Is Boehner trying to resurrect Cruz’s reputation?

The day has finally come when I actually agree with John Boehner on something.

Pretty certain this is listed as one of the seven Biblical seals, or something. ;)

Apparently. Anybody that Weeping Johnny or Turtle Face Mitch hates can't be all bad.

Trump should have Ohio native Boehner give a brief impromptu speech at some point tonight... ;-)

[Lent]

Even a broken clock....he’s right on this.

[NorthMountain]

brief impromptu speech

In which he kisses 0bama's ass and proposes marriage to Nancy Pelosi ... and reminds us all why we detest the GOPe.

Huh?

Naah...dat don't work.

“I had forgotten that he said that. He was right.”

Boehner may have been right, yet he shouldn't have said it. You never make yourself look good by tearing other people down. Boehner’s calling Cruz “Lucifer” is no different that Cruz's refusal to endorse Trump last night. This incivility is dispiriting. Trump even seems to have realized as much. He's been much more gracious over the past few months, and his kids are absolute delights. They are loyal to their father, yet they don't rip others apart.

It’s a transgendered pot. ;>

However, after his opus, Cruz was robbed of that public image in which he had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear conservative to the eyes of Men.

Some graphics oriented Freeper should impose Lyin' Ted's face on that photo.

The Senate will be so glad to have Ted back.
