Boehner on Bailout proposal: a crap sandwich
I found this both amusing and sad.
THE ADMINISTRATION THAT CRIED WOLF
"Even House leaders admit the bill is far too interventionist for their tastes. Minority Leader John Boehner called the $700 billion plan a 'crap sandwich' during a closed-door caucus of his members last night as he exhorted them to vote for the bailout bill if their 'conscience' would allow it. Paul Ryan, ranking member on the House Budget Committee, told his colleagues it 'sucks' even as he said he would reluctantly vote for it.
"But some members simply couldn't stomach the prospect of voting for such a bill. 'I didn't get elected to turn this country into France,' one member told me. He added that the predictions of financial doom by Congressional and administration leaders have been overplayed: 'They shouldn't have said the sky will fall tomorrow every day. It didn't,' he said."

Re: Boehner on Bailout proposal: a crap sandwich
That is funny and sad.
Though at the same time I'm really comforted by the fact that fiscal conservatives still exist in Washington. I really thought they were extinct.
ITA.
As for "crap sandwich," he must watch South Park. Remember during the 2004 campaign when they said our choices for President were a "total douche" and a "turd sandwich?" Methinks we now have a little insight as to Rep. Boehner's television viewing habits. LOL
Didn't Colbert recently use "shiit sandwhich" in that interview with him and Jon?
And what the hell has he got against France?!
I looooove PITNB!
