Rep. John Boehner!

Let's hear a round of applause, ladies and gentlemen. We regret that Mr. Boehner cannot be here to accept his award due to an unfortunate mishap with his tanning machine- he is being removed from it now with the jaws-of-life and will recover fully after a few weeks in ICU. No visitors allowed, except for family, friends, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and former WH Chief-of-Staff Andy Card.



WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House debate on the new Iraq spending bill is bringing out a range of emotions from some congressmen, including House Minority Leader John Boehner.

"I didn't come here to be a congressman -- I came here to do something," the Ohio Republican said as he choked up with tears in his eyes on the House floor. "And I think at the top of our list is providing for the safety and security of the American people. That's at the top of our list. After 3,000 of our fellow citizens died at the hands of these terrorists, when are we going to stand up and take them on? When are we going to defeat them?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, if we don't do it now, if we don't have the courage to defeat the enemy, we will long, long regret it," he added.

Following his speech on the House floor, Boehner wiped his eyes and told CNN's Andrea Koppel, "It's been a long month."

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

5. When we actually go after al Qaeda, you dingus.

And I couldn't help but notice your not-so-subtle linking of Iraq to 9/11. To quote your god: "There you go again."

[Robbien]

6. Well, we have killed 650,000 or so Iraqis who all had mothers, fathers,

sisters, brothers, friends and relatives who do not count themselves as friends of the USA.

The same goes for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia.

So much bad karma pointed in our direction. The kind of bad karma which is not defeated by dropping bombs.
