1. Hmmmm....are they the GOP BORG?
No wonder they're so stupid--they are all sharing a brain.

Shouldn't it be "Get your assES in line?"

2. I love it when teabaggers express themselves
anytime the oompa loompa is pissed off is a good time.

5. That may be where he winds up
I can see the puke base seething if he has to beg the Democrats for a few votes to pass a bill but with the teabaggers controlling the freshmen I think big business and the Chamber of Commerce are pretty soon going to be demanding some real action from the orange one or the dollars will be cut back.

6. Maybe the Chamber count cut off Boehner's free golf junkets, gin, and tanning sessions.
:cry:

7. I don't think there's any way he's going to let that happen
Personally I think he'd hang his own mother out to dry before he ever considered giving up the free junkets and booze.

I have to admit that I really do like watching him twist in the wind, I "hope" his liver can handle the stress.

4. I can just hear him now . . .
