[kentuck]

Unbelievable!

"What we really expect out of the Democrats is for them to treat us as they would like to have been treated"

[aquart]

1. Who knew he had a sense of humor?

[babylonsister]

2. Bwhahahaha! Instant karma's gonna get ya, Boehner! nt

[BlooInBloo]

3. Yup - was Kos front-paged. At least it's the truth.

[LiberalFighter]

4. Too bad reporter didn't ask how the Democrats were treated by them

[Robbien]

5. Ha, the Golden Rule, GOP style

Don't stick it to us as we stuck it to you.

[WiseButAngrySara]

8. Oh that's good! ....n/t

[me b zola]

38. You just created a hot-selling bumper sticker!

:toast:

[LynnTheDem]

6. First time I ever heard the truth from a republic.

Amazing.

[Lex]

7. Haha! Instead of how the Repukes treated the Dems, right?

Nice one. Tough sh*t, Boehner.

[Xipe Totec]

9. Boehner has gall stones for balls

what gall!

What unmitigated, shameless, impudence!

[peacetalksforall]

10. Does that top the arrogance list or the stupidity list? nt

[vixengrl]

11. "would like to have been treated"--but weren't.

Well, thanks for playing, Boner, but as a discerning member of the viewing audience--DUH! You don't seem to know how this game is played. We have a lovely runner-up gift of Rice-a Roni for you--San Francisco treat, coutesy of Madam Speaker Pelosi.

[Marr]

12. I thought it was a joke. Jesus, what an arrogant fool.

'Remember all those times I beat you up and stole your lunch money? Well, I hope you learned my lesson! Treat other people nice!'

[Captain Hilts]

13. YES!!!!! nt

[roody]

14. When he handed over the gavel, did I hear

him call her the "young lady from California"? I hope I heard wrong.

[TroglodyteScholar]

37. Not "young lady" but "gentle lady" as opposed to "gentleman" n/t

[brer cat]

15. I hope EarlG has this one on the top 10! n/t

[Fridays Child]

16. If that doesn't sum up the pathology of the GOP, I don't know what does.

:crazy:

[badgerpup]

17. you're right...he doesn't lack for gall and arrogance...

...especially since I read that 'the Plan' was for the repubs to do their damndest to make sure that 'gridlock and despair' would be the hallmarks of these next two years.
Nevermind their constituents, the job they were originally hired to do or the good of the country. POWER- getting it and KEEPING it- is their sole raison d'etre.
"Please, don't hurt us! We won't be able to stab you in the back if you do!" :puke:

18. I just used that qiote on my Union BBS thusly:

Minority Leader John Boehner, the former speaker: "In 1994 when we took control of the House, 12 years ago, it wasn't that — we wanted to treat Democrats the way we had asked to be treated. And, frankly, that's what we did. What we really expect out of the Democrats is for them to treat us as they would like to have been treated," http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,241535,00.html

19. The retroactive golden rule.

Excuse me while I rig up a sling for my jaw because it just hit the floor.

[NYC Liberal]

20. "Do as I say, not as I do" - that's the GOP "Golden Rule"

[WilliamPitt]

21. An old line from somewhere.

When you give me freedom, that is according to your principles. When I take your freedom, that is according to my principles.

[pa28]

22. And this from another thread . . .

Almost word for word.

[renate]

23. "what we EXPECT".... ?

:wow:

Expect away, John.

[Fire Walk With Me]

24. Someone dig up their venomous declamations from Whitewater and zippergate.

[applegrove]

25. You don't "make nice" with creeps. You double up on appropriate boundaries.

In this case..the constitution and oversight.

[spanone]

26. Would you buy a car from that guy?

[leesa]

27. It proves that they are capable of truth when they least expect it.

Like Bush, I suspect that's not exactly how it was supposed to come out.

[Cameron27]

28. 2008 bumper stickers!

[Pachamama]

29. I think they should be treated as they had treated the Dems....

Let them see how it felt....

I know that's not the "mature" attitude, but I guess I'm just tired of that criminal bunch of thugs and bully's and would like them to be put in their place.

[Olney Blue]

30. Ha Ha Ha

[SpiralHawk]

31. republicons are so lame, so lacking in honor

Pitiful. They are pitiful. What do you expect from a bunch that follows an AWOL cheerleader, and his sidekick Dick "Five Deferments" Cheney? Not much.

[kentuck]

32. They are so transparent....

Are there people that really do not see thru their crap? Or are they hypocrites also?

[Cha]

33. Yeah, and he was the asshole who said

they were going back in 2007 and make sure they privatize Social Security.

Privatize this, asshole.

I got a better idea..how about the Dems treating boehner and his ilk like they were treated? Since our freakin' country depends on them having no say so WHATSOEVER!

[truedelphi]

34. All I have to say whenever they say

"We should be treated the same way we treated the Democrats" is

"don't worry, Kiddo, WE WILL!

[Chorophyll]

35. O...M...F...G.

That's a new take on the Golden Rule, right about there.

[Auntie Bush]

36. I think it was actually brave of him to utter/admit such a comment.

Surely he wasn't confessing...must have meant it as a joke? :shrug:

[WritersBlock]

39. Well, Mr Boner, what WE THE PEOPLE really expect out of the Democrats

is for them to treat our Constitution as we would have liked for you war-mongering, greedy bastards to have treated her!


We really don't give a flying fuck how they treat *you* -- as long as it's not to concessions.


Smarmy hypocritical whining bastard.
