During Meet the Press this morning, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) cites a need for LESS regulation to jumpstart the economy, and (in the same breath) blames a "lack of enforcing existing regulations already on the books" (aka: Deregulation) for the meltdown on Wall Street and the oil disaster in the Gulf.

How is "not enforcing existing regulations" any different from "deregulation"?

So which is it? Do we INCREASE regulation and prevent catastrophes, or do decrease deregulation without regard for the consequences? You can't have it both ways, John.

1. No way the Senator doesn't drink a lot of scotch and cabernet. He slurs even when he's sober.

2. Every time they promoted this week's MTP, they introduced Boner

as the person who may be the next House Speaker.

Like, they're setting the tone for the big power turnover in Congress this November.

It's that damned librul media at it again.

Boner's an embarassment to the State of Ohio. There's a billboard near Cincinnati showing him golfing, asking anyone when was was the last time they golfed 185 times in a year.

Between his golfing, drinking and the time spent in the tanning booth, when does he find time to perform his duties as a congressman? There are even colleagues in his own party who are complaining he shuts it down for the day by the afternoon.

9. Doesn't he have melanoma?

[herbm]

22. Only his tanning bed knows for sure. I wonder if he sticks elepant stickers on so he has

white elepants on his body. Like on his ass. Brrrrrrrrrrr..... what fucked up image THAT was..... brrrrrrr!

[herbm]

23. He's available for strip mall opennings.

[Andy823]

11. Fact is

He is "never" sober. He is what is called a maintenance drinker, which means he drinks most of the day, but more after work. Nobody has really seen him sober!

[AlbertCat]

18. even when he's sober.

When would that be?

[herbm]

21. I'm not saying he isn't sober, because how would I know wink wink nudge nudge? I'm just saying "IF"

[Sanity Claws]

3. Dead eyes

His eyes show his soulless existence. They also reveal his love of botox -- note how his upper face didn't move. Instead only the area around his mouth moved, kind of like Deputy Dawg.

4. Ummm

who was in charge of the SEC when all the problems occured?

[Mugsy]

8. No votes?

Nice observation. I'd post the comment on YouTube.

I'm surprised this absurd example of Cognitive Dissonance isn't receiving more votes. Am I the only one that thinks Boehner is completely clueless here?

5. the GOP's very own 'Dean Martin'

he should be playing a smoke-filled nightclub, not trying to lead any part of our govt

[activa8tr]

6. I give you the next Speaker of the House, if we don't get to work, or maybe

we have no chance to keep Nancy Pelosi.

How many seats? 38? 39?

We might as well elect Hitler!

7. Boner's an embarassment to the State of Ohio - Bulloney

And he's an embarrassment to every single Ohio voter that voted for him as well, including my boner brother. But they like to do this: :hide:

[Tx4obama]

10. The GOP'ers just talk and talk and they know that the under-educated won't understand anyway. n/t

[Tutankhamun]

15. Which is why they love destroying public education.

[ginnyinWI]

12. don't know if he's a drinker, but he surely looked like a fool. n/t

[onethatcares]

13. let's pass some regulations and defund the regulatory agencies

then blame the Democratic Party for the oil spill.

This guy has been on the government teat for way too long, it's time to reconsider his retirement program and kick his ass out.

[davidhilton]

14. Why would anyone even listen to this guy?

He doesn't seemed too informed.

[Tutankhamun]

16. I say we put a tax on fake tanning lotion and put Boner in the poorhouse.

[Courtesy Flush]

17. "So you're publicly committing to fully fund regulatory agencies?"

I hope that was the next question.

[applegrove]

19. rotflmao!

[Captain Boomerang]

20. Boehner sucks

He has the looks of Deputy Dog, the lisp of Sylvester the cat, and the intellect of Elmer Fudd.

His speech was intoxicating.
