Howard Dean called Boehner's election a sign of hypocrisy.

[madfloridian]

"Though House Democrats largely kept silent on the Republican election, Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean called Boehner's election a sign of hypocrisy.

"With Boehner in power, lobbyists won't have to wait in the lobby anymore, because they'll have their own backdoor into the majority leader's office," Dean said."

4. Wonder if he celebrated his victory

By passing out cigars?

[madfloridian]

5. McAuliffe talked about that today on CNN.

He spoke out really firmly.

[JeffR]

8. Something he didn't do enough of

When he had a bully pulpit.

6. Good Dean! Get it out there..

what's up from the get go. Would there have been anyone the repugs could have voted in as their leader who wasn't full of hypocrisy?

[mzmolly]

7. I'm beginning to wonder if Dean is running their party with the F-Ups they

have had lately. :evilgrin: It seems "someone" is trying to be certain Dems have an easy time taking back the house/congress! ;)

10. DNC blog has research: Meet Your New Majority Leader

http://www.democrats.org/a/2006/02/meet_your_new_m.php

Lots of research here.

11. OMG Dean said "Boehner" and "backdoor" in the same sentence

*snicker*


Don't mind me. :P

[cascadiance]

14. Technically speaking it is pronounced "baynor"...

But just like the Republicans call us the "Democrat" party, we should just keep on pronouncing his name "boner" instead of "bayner"... If they don't like it, then tell them to call us the "DemocratIC Party" and we will look at pronouncing his name the way they want to.

[WildEyedLiberal]

15. He only goes by "Bayner" because he knows what a joke it looks like

That's like having a last name like "Butt" and saying it's pronounced "Boot." "Bayner" my ass.

And yes, as long as they keep denigrating us, I'll keep making Boner jokes. So there. :P

[FreedomAngel82]

21. LOL!

Did he get some Jack Off too? :rofl:

[deacon]

12. He's doing what all dem members of congress should be doing

be on them EVERY day and be right in their faces.

[madfloridian]

13. Did anyone else today hear CNN pronounce it "baynor"?

Is that correct?

[stevietheman]

16. Doesn't apply to us: He's a boner pulling boners to us. :) n/t

n/t

25. I guess now that Dick no longer is sidetracked with Delays or Colons...

... and is now more "lined up" with Bush, we now have a "Boner" high up in the House! :)

[FreedomAngel82]

22. From what I understand

it is in it's original language but not in English.

[FreedomAngel82]

18. Did they think nobody would notice?

:eyes:

[jsamuel]
