Boehner Stages Pre-Rehearsed Presser - MASSIVE FAIL!

[tomm2thumbs]

With a pre-rehearsed 'toss the prop-newspaper to the table', John Boehner proves two things in this brief presser -- that he can't act his way out of a paper bag, and that the GOP is truly and completely sinking into desperation. Surrounding himself with female GOP'ers to try to soften their 'crotchity old men' look playing out in the media, Boehner not only gives a performance that could best be described as 'daytime soap' quality, he then walks off the stage because he realizes that questions would only do damage. You can see someone told him to furl his eyebrows after '...some damn game' -- he can't even get his cue-to-cue flowing.

Love it. Love it. Love it.

The ones who STARTED the game now saying 'this is not a game' and crying themselves off the field while being draaaaaaagged to their bath.

1. you can tell he is reading points off screen left -- and misses a talking point

then accidently uses 'simple' twice at the end, stumbling over his practiced speech

you can't fake it -- but he tries. Damn he tries.

2. Maybe he should have cried.... it could have gotten him

the Academy Award for best performance for a non actor.

5. Perhaps he can only cry when he is sober?

15. I heard a rumor

that the person who helps him cry got furloughed.

3. So pass the budget, and then discuss changes to the ACA or Obamacare.

Really! There is no link between the budget and the ACA.

Boehner knows that. He is pretending to be that stupid. Honestly!

[chervilant]

4. Was he drunk?!?

Terrible, terrible, terrible!

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Yeah I asked myself the same question

There was a slur or two there

"Fairness under Obamacare" is all he's asking for ... right!!!

7. That poor orange man.....

[demwing]

14. Like a giant, lumbering, sobbing

oompa loompa.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. Oops! Exit stage left!!!

9. This clown is so pathetic...so very, very, very pathetic.

He could be a gop congressclown. He could even be a gop teabagger congressclown. But he is no more qualified than michelle bachmann, to be the Speaker of the House. He is an absolutely PATHETIC speaker. His "acting skills" are at ZERO, on any scale you want to use. A joke. A pathetic, uneducated, un-skilled speaker. How very, very, very sad that they chose this buffoon as the Speaker of the House. I can't recall a worse Speaker in my 60+ years of following politics. Shameful!

10. Poor acting AND even had that hag from NC, Virginia Foxx

next to him. Double plus badddddd.

11. The women looks like she's very worried.

[dinger130]

12. Nothing but a blubbering drunk

with one too many brain cells pickled.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

13. Sounds perfectly reasonable

Of course I've been living on another planet in the Galaxy of Andromeda for the last five years- Anybody want to fill me in on why these nice people are so upset?
