This Is A Stick Up
Can anyone explain to us how John Boehner can stay out of jail for doing this?
Last week, House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio made a pitch to Democratic contributor James Dimon, the chairman and chief executive of J.P. Morgan, over drinks at a Capitol Hill restaurant, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Boehner told Mr. Dimon congressional Republicans had stood up to Mr. Obama’s efforts to curb pay and impose new regulations. The Republican leader also said he was disappointed many on Wall Street continue to donate their money to Democrats, according to the people familiar with the matter.
So here’s the deal, Wall Street: Give us money and we’ll let you rape, pillage and plunder American. But first you have to … show us the money.
Boehner, Dude, you’re extorting this guy. Then to add hot coal to that inferno, you’re letting the American people know you prefer fat cat bonus checks to helping get jobs in the heartland. Boehner, your soul is starting to match your skin color.
Hey, maybe Democrats didn’t stay bought by the fat cats, huh? Maybe that’s a good thing, Huh?
Juanita, Honey, you need to ask this question of Justices Alito, Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy. They gave the OK on this.

Actually, a real lady of the night probably has more ethics.
2We’d better watch this story closely. Back in the 1930’s retired Marine General Smedley Butler exposed a plot by associates of J.P.Morgan to overthrow President Franklin Roosevelt. Unfortunately FDR and Congress declined to prosecute these traitors, so this story is little-known and nothing was learned from it. As Mark Twain warned, “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
3It has gotten so bad that when you refer to Republicans as “pond scum”, you’re complimenting them.
4I know this isn’t the point of the story and I truly enjoy getting up each morning and consuming my breakfast of humor with your site but this sentence gave me pause: “Boehner, your soul is starting to match your skin color.” So, having no idea what color Boehner is, I looked for a picture (okay, so I’m not up on my tee vee watching). Lo and behold…he’s sort of browny-beige and wrinkly–admittedly a texture. The color of a purse I used to have. His soul is a purse? Well, I suppose that makes sense for a guy trolling for dollars.
5In 2008 Goldman Sachs gave more money to Obama than any other candidate. They got taken care of with money and Tim Geithner as Treasury Sect. See http://www.washingtonyourefired.com/goldman_sachs_2008_contributions.html .
I don’t see how Boehner is any different from most other politicians, which is not meant as a compliment. Both parties trade in this sort of thing.
