1. I saw a clip of it last night and it was a mess

It seemed like he had been drinking.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

2. And yet the freeps were high-fiving and woo-hooing and saying he was "on fire."

My guess is that they had been drinking at that point, too...heavily.

:rofl:

:toast:

8. i'll say this about his threats

While he whinned and sniveled and threaten to empty democratic seats in nov. he was rallying us moderate liberals to do this:
FIRE UP -FIRE UP
YES WE CAN ! YES WE DID ! WE PASSED HEALTHCARE REFORM IN SPITE OF THE REDUNDANT REPUBLICAN PARTY!
FIRE UP; YES WE CAN ;YES WE DID; YES WE WILL SUPPORT YOU BRAVE DEMOCRATS AT THE POLLS!
YES WE WILL THROW YOU STUBORN LOCK STEPPING DO NOTHING REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE!
YES WE CAN
YES WE WILL
FIRE UP!

5. Yep.

That was my first opinion when he got up there and started making an ass out of himself with all the "hypocrisy" and swearing! He knew the bill was going top pass, and I am sure those who "bought" and paid for his attempt to "kill" the bill were not happy with the results. The man is crazy as hell and it's not the first time he acted like he had been drinking during house sessions!

3. man I would hate to be sitting on the next bar stool

so not only is he a blubbering, crying drunk but he's also a mean, blubbering drunk.

[Tippy]

4. Boehner did that for show......And I have heard him give better speaches

To be honest I think he was more than just a little tipsy..

[Tippy]

7. Boenher was DRUNK...there I said it...and it looks like there is an agreement..n/t

[JuniperLea]

6. Unhinged... I believe the term is, unhinged...

Much like Rove was this weekend.

Ahhhh... bliss...

[luckyleftyme2]

9. BOEHNER AND ROVE!

THATS WHERE THEY END UP ON THE STREET CHASING THE MEDIA FOR CASH!

[Gman2]

10. He almost broke out laughing, He knew it was theater of the absurd.

[Frustratedlady]

11. He forgot a couple of his choreographed moves, at one point.

I can't recall the exact moves he made, and I can't bear to watch it again to find them, but he was a little late at stabbing the air or increasing the volume. I don't remember for sure, as I was laughing so hard.

I pray he get voted out, next time he's up. What a joke.

Where was McConnell? I don't think I saw him at all, yesterday.

[Stellar]

12. Agent Orange, huh.

:D :D :D

[Gman2]

13. Had he asked, I would have advised him to do like animal house.

We will not sit here, and allow you to do this blah blah blah. And single file out of the hall.

[ericinne]

14. I love this clip

This has GOT to go down in History.

Boner is his MANIC FRENZY of word salad, actually coaxed the Democrat house to chant "YES WE CAN"

CLASSIC!!

[Guilded Lilly]

15. Face it, John boy...

Your team lost. And you hate it.

You hate it so much you couldn't respond like a mature adult, but had to resort to the lying, blowhard blustering that your party has unahsamedly practised, profitted from and thrived on with the more easily manipulated portion of the American population for a decade.

In otherwords, you were screaming at the inability of your obstructionist party to blow a bigger hole in the heart of America.

Some 200 amendments and countless concessions made to your bully party and you still resort to NO accountabilty baloney statements. It was your own party that you were furious with, Mr. *Hell No".
YOU FAILED. You lied, you connived, and you were bested in your deceitful power plays....by the DEMOCRATS.

Aye there's the rub.
You were bested and defeated, by the Democrats.
Are we sorry that you practically bust a gut in screaming about that basic fact on the floor?

Hell No.

[Plucketeer]

16. Ten minutes of federal business time wasted

John and Co. are the mouthpieces of special interests. :puke:

[JDPriestly]

17. Does Boehner smoke?

His voice sounds like it. There is a kind of rasping, gravelly sound that is typical in the voices of heavy smokers. He does not sound well. I mean that he does not sound like he is physically well.

His strategy in the struggle over this bill was horrible. It failed utterly. The Republicans have awakened a riled up bunch of extremists many of whom, it so happens, have guns. That is not smart.

The Teabaggers claim to be inspired by the Boston Tea Party. The so-called left in this country has always looked to Ghandi and Jesus and Martin Luther King for inspiration. That is an important difference.

Boehner has made a huge mistake. The tears came because somewhere, subconsciously, he is scared by what he and his buddies have started. They have awakened a potential monster.

[BREMPRO]

18. you lose turd face. republicans LOSE big time. The people have a huge victory

(even if some don't realize it yet...)

[cui bono]

19. "NO YOU HAVEN'T!"

Who was he talking to? He kept asking if they read this part of the bill, they yelled "Yes!", another part of the bill, they yelled "Yes!", one more part, they yelled "Yes!". Then he yells "NO YOU HAVEN'T!!!"

:wtf:


And boy, is he a bad actor. Thankfully he'll never show up in one of my favorite shows.
