And This Is What He Says About People He Likes

John Boehner, bless his little orange heart.

“I’ve never been shy about leading. But you know, leaders need followers. And we’ve got 89 brand new members. We’ve got a pretty disparate caucus. It is hard to keep 218 frogs in a wheelbarrow long enough to get a bill passed.”

— House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), in an interview on This Week.

Frogs?  Really?  Ya think they’re a little jumpy about the November election, John?

Thanks to David for the heads-up.

Be social and share!

  1. He meant toads. (Except for Mitch McConnell, who is a turtle).

    Well, so far, Boehner’s been plagued by red water (when the ice melts in his red whiskey) and, apparently 218 frogs. How does the Pharaoh of the GOP stand with the rest of the list?

    Lice: check! Ryan’s a louse, Kantor’s a louse… the list goes on.

    Anything a stinky as their agenda must draw flies like…flies.

    Diseased livestock: they found some madcow recently. Other problems will manifest as they cut FDA and farm regulations and enforcement form budgets.

    Boils: Haven’t seen any yet, but skin that color has GOT to be the opposite of healthy.

    Hail and thunder: now that you mention it, the weather HAS been getting a little extreme. How’s that climate-y change-y denial-y thing workin’ out for ya?

    Locusts: As it turns out, Cicada broods are erupting in WV and parts of VA this year, and across the Central Atlantic including DC in the next 12 months.

    Darkness: anybody see that eclipse yesterday?

    Conclusion: If I were the first born son of any Republicans, I’d be converting to Democrat right quick.

    One could almost feel sorry for Boehner: leading the Republican caucus compares with herding cockroaches.

    To extend that metaphor, some of those frogs are on the bottom layer. They are getting kicked in the face by the top frogs, and every time they look up, they see a frog’s butt.

    And that’s what it is like to be a Republican Congressman.

    They DO remind me of frogs in some ways. Slimy, not very smart. May cause warts.

    I think he defamed frogs.
