(128,905 posts)And with the "He can take care of this immigration problem without Congressional authority" utterance that suddenly came from the GOP leadership this afternoon, that should prompt a whole new slew of toons.

The GOP loses control of its Frankenstein monster
By Steve Benen
snip//
We already know with certainty that the Ohio Republican is wrong when he blames this on the White House the impeachment talk has come from GOP lawmakers and its been going on for years. Indeed, if this is a scam, John Boehners own leadership team is in on it the new House Majority Whip, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) refused to take presidential impeachment off the table during an interview just three days ago.
But then theres the part about Boehners plans.
There are a few angles to this story that are running on parallel tracks, all of which carry equal weight. The first is the GOPs Frankenstein problem: Republican leaders created a monster, doing nothing to tamp down the rights crusade to tear down the Obama presidency, and they suddenly find themselves scrambling now that the monster is running lose. As Arit John put it, Republicans have lost control of the impeachment plot they hatched.

(521 posts)The Republicans in Congress are making precedents left and right -- how little work a member of Congress can get away with, how to impeach a President of the opposing party just to embarrass him, trying dozens of times to undo legislation that passed over their opposition - even though their repeal efforts are clearly hopeless, and, now, suing a president for ....
.... well, I'm not really sure what for. It can't be for lying to us to get us to start a needless war. It can't be for outing an important CIA officer just to punish her husband. It can't be for keeping deficits off the books until the end of his term. It can't be for secret deals to give advanced weapons to terrorists. Could it be for presidenting while black?

I don't know how much he drinks, but it is plenty. To capture the real Boehner you need a bottle in the other hand.
He should be at Betty Ford, not Congress.
