Boehner - "This is not a time for ideological purity"
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/21/politics/politico/thecrypt/main4463347.shtml

That was in Sept. 2008 when he was fighting for the $700 Billion TARP funding.

3 days after he had a closed door meeting with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on the severity of the situation.

2 days after he sold a sh*tload of mutual funds, immediately after his meeting with Paulson and Bernanke.


Yet, saving the lives of children who can't afford health insurance is a time for ideological purity????

10. Insider trading?
Dumping stocks a few days after that meeting sure looks like a red flag.

20. Well...I'm not the only one who's noticed so I'm guessing SOMEONE has looked into it.
Probably.....

ok, probably not.

Of course he'll get away with it just like they always do.

11. I wish Mr Boehner
Would get really loaded and pass out in his tanning bed. I bet we wouldn't see his bright red shiny ass in front of the camera for a week or two. He is one politician (well him and Eric Cantor... oh and Bobby Jindal) that I just can't fuckin stand. :smoke:

17. Jindal's kept a really low profile...

22. Looks more like golf tan to me...
These bidniz guys that manage to golf 4 days a week seem to have that luxurious pre-cancerous glow that Boehner does.

15. The ones who cry purity the loudest are often the ones most guilty of it themselves.
That applies on the Left as well.

23. HAHAHAHA, AHH*HAHAhahahahaha, oh man - Boehner has to be an escaped circus clown...
He just *has* to - he's got the droopiest little sad hobo clown face *outside* clown make-up, and ruffles like a bombastic clown while saying the stupidest things :spray:


But he's the very last guy to be talking about lying, two-faced shit he is personally vested in :thumbsdown:
