Former House Speaker John Boehner doesn't hold back when judging members of his own party in his new book, 'On the House: A Washington Memoir' He pushed Fox News Channel's Roger Ailes to stop with the conspiracy theories, only to realize Ailes had become 'president of the club' of crazies
'All of this crap swirling around was going to make it tough for me to cut any deals with Obama as the new House Speaker. Of course, it has to be said that Obama didn't help himself much either.'
'But on the other hand - how do you find common cause with people who think you are a secret Kenyan Muslim traitor to America?' Boehner observed.
Boehner complained about the tone of the new Tea Party-tied members.
'I had to explain how to actually get things done,' he explained. 'A lot of that went straight through the ears of most of them, especially the ones who didn't have brains that got in the way. Incrementalism? Compromise? That wasn't their thing.'
'A lot of them wanted to blow up Washington. That's why they thought they were elected,' he continued.

Begone vile swamp creature!!
I was kinda hoping he died of lung cancer already.
Soon enough.
There is a radio talk show host who plays an audio clip with the sound of ice cubes dropping into a glass of
scotch every time Boehner’s name is mentioned.
Boehner IS/WAS the problem.
Republican Party is painfully pathetic.
so he sobered up long enough to (ghost) write a book?
Weepy Boehner, deep into the Cutty Sark again. Have another shot, John. Cry some more. Useless then, useless now
“thats OK dear Have another whisky and a good cry.. I know how you feel”
How John Boehner Reached Across the Aisle to Compromise in the Swamp:
Donkeys: “We want to spend two trillion dollars!”
Rhinos: “We don’t have even a trillion to spare! We’ll break the bank!”
Donkeys: “Fine! We’ll compromise! We’ll split the difference and spend a trillion!”
Rhinos: “Well...that’s better...And don’t you try your tricks again!”
Donkeys: “Oooh! You sure showed us!”
Rhinos [to the taxpayers]: “We’ve held the Donkeys to only spending a trillion...”
Taxpayers: “WHY do we vote for you??? You just put us on the hook for a trillion dollars WE DON’T HAVE!!!”
Will ANYONE who gives a damn about this jerk please get him into lockdown/rehab????
After reading this I understand that the Democrats are my friends.
Harry Truman said “In Washington you can tell who your friends are. They stab you in the front.”
Has anyone read it?
Is this an accurate review of the book? Daily Mail is sensational crap and I’ll never trust it.
Secret?! Only to the willfully blind.
But what does John Kasich think?
Boehner!
May he cry himself to dehydration!
Sounds like Boehner’s off his meds.
John Boehner is the reason we are in the shape we’re in. There was nothing much left to compromise then and now we have very little left. Welcome to the Brave New World, thanks to politicians like John Boehner.
‘A lot of them wanted to blow up Washington. That’s why they thought they were elected,’ he continued.”
It was why they were elected you f’n moron!
Did he ever get on it?
