(28,498 posts)4. F*ck CBS: "Boehner sticks to his guns?"
CBS makes him sound like some kind of "Mr. Smith goes to Washington," where the protagonist sees the corruption in DC and fillibsuters for change. What CBS should have reported was "Boehner in his death throes as Senate Republican leader McConnell urges swift action."
That would have been accurate.
CBS = "Cock and Bull Stories"
