Like Jesus, all the carpenters are now Democrats.

Furious Boehner allies lash out

..............

A fired-up House Ethics Committee Chairman Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), speaking not long after Boehner dropped the bombshell at a Friday conference meeting that he’ll leave Congress at the end of next month, ripped into hard-line conservatives.

He accused them of opposing Boehner at every turn, and noted they have “never had a horse of their own.”

“Any jackass can kick down a barn door. It takes a carpenter to hang one. We need a few more carpenters around here. Everybody knows it,” Dent said off the House floor.

Leadership allies are frustrated by what they see as a repeated exercise in futility.

has done zilch for years and has had only limited purse string power, if "taken over" by The Crazy for the Lord criminal organization within, in the face of Presidential vetoes and a not completely crazy GOP Senate?


And now wanting to shut down government while defending an already proven lie? How much longer can the mass media keep giving cover to the smear of the PP propaganda operation in the face of folks actually suffering through a government shutdown via manufactured crisis?
