Debbie Schlussel: Chutzpah Writ Large: Hilarious Comeback Attempt of the Day
And today's You've Got Chutzpah Award goes to . . . (drumroll) . . . Republican Congressman John Boehner of Ohio, who is seeking to remain top Republican dog in the House of Representatives.
Yesterday, he sent his ever-shrinking pool of Republican colleagues a letter asking for their support in his bid for re-election as Republican Minority Leader. He told Republicans that he's "committed to building a lasting majority." HA! No comment needed. Oh, and he says he will do that by:
standing up for the principles Americans believe in, offering better alternatives, and fighting as hard as we possibly can day in and day out, issue by issue, until we've won the trust of the people.
You gotta be kidding, Congressman Boehner.
Boehner--who supports amnesty for illegal aliens and pressured ICE agents to repatriate a Muslim illegal alien from his district after they rightfully deported her, and who presided over Republicans who spent like drunken liberal sailors--is the rotting head atop the stinking fish that is House Republicans gone "centrist." He's the man singularly responsible for Democrats adding 19 seats, Tuesday. It wasn't just the economy, stupid. It was Boehner and his Republicronies' voting and spending and lack of conservative principles.
Good luck getting your job back, Jack.
On the other hand, they gave this useless dead weight his job back two years ago after big losses. Never underestimate the incompetence of Congressional Republicans.
