I think Boner made a big mistake by being absent from Memorial..

[monmouth]

It shows how typically wrong his priorities are. Had she been a Republican you know he would have been crying all over the place. He disgusts me more and more daily and so do his ilk.

[RagAss]

1. It was deliberate. These people are evil !

[Rosa Luxemburg]

he should explain himself to the country

[madokie]

17. We all know what the f**k kind of person he is

may he have many hangovers as he lives in that bottle of evil, alcohol too.

[malaise]

2. It's all good

He's exposing himself early.

[dhill926]

3. he looks small.......

and orange of course.....

[gateley]

9. Yes he does. nt

[gateley]

4. I think Rachel covered it perfectly. As a news item. No judgment. Just facts. nt

[dhill926]

10. yes.....agreed......

[Tigress DEM]

15. What a concept. News item and facts. They COULD go together. Yes it might work.

[prolesunited]

5. Yes he did

very bad form. Who turns down a ride on AF1? That's a personal insult.

[Dappleganger]

11. It's about as bad as you can get.

[Ken Burch]

6. He's STILL obsessed with delegitimizing Obama at any cost.

La Naranja probably thinks he pulled one over on the prez by doing this.

[givemebackmycountry]

7. .

That's all the energy I have to expend on my thoughts on the new House Speaker.

[AspenRose]

8. I'm sure he'll shed some tears about it and then all will be forgiven.

[Tigress DEM]

12. Actually, I have a theory about his crying.

He's stuck with this party, but he knows that he's going to regret it every day of his life.

When he talks about living his American dream he gets all choked up because he only had to help wipe out 98% of the population's chance for a decent life to get his.

When he looks at little kids he realizes what a stupid prick he is and how terrible it will be when they come of age to be able to kick his sorry ass.

Sorry. Been awhile since I ranted. I'm not normally this mean.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Boner made a big mistake by not resigning for being a ridiculously incompetent asshole.

But snark aside, yes, he's gonna look like a total dick now.

And given his capacity to shed fake tears at any time to score points with the illiterate Christian demographic, I'm surprised he didn't take full advantage of the chance to be at this. But, on the other hand, he got the position he wants, so he doesn't have to pretend to care about anything any more.

[SharonAnn]

14. As Speaker of the House, he should've been there. He showed that he's partisan.

She's a Democrat so she's not "one of his".

[old guy]

16. No he didn't.

Always remember that the GOP has never and will never make a mistake. If you don't believe me, just ask one of them.

[Historic NY]

18. The problem for him was there were lots of other Republicans there.

[Abq_Sarah]

19. Lots?

Who, other than the Governor?

[Iwillnevergiveup]

20. Unfortunately, we had to look at

Kyle and McCain for starters.

[Brother Buzz]

21. All five republican congressmen from Arizona was in attendance

Arizona republican representatives, Jeff Flake, Trent Franks, Ben Quayle, Paul Gosar and David Schweikert traveled on the AF1 with Obama.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. He would be a disruption at the memorial service.

He can stay in D.C. and cry and snuffle and make noise with his boo hooing.

[Sgent]

23. He's the Speaker of the House

I don't give a shit about his politics at a time like this.

One of his members was gunned down, an Article III judge assassinated, and many others killed an injured.

Fuck politics... As an officer of the United States, third in line for the presidency, and the fact that this lady was from the branch of government that he is charge of, its profoundly disrespectful to her and the institution of the House.
