His Orangeness is fresh from the tanning salon and now speaking

1. Not slurring either...

[joeybee12]

2. Then it's not really him...it's his stage double...nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. I can honestly say that the color he is sporting today is one I have never seen

Rustoleum?

[gateley]

14. Remember when Obama referred to him as a "person of color"?

:rofl:

What's he saying?

[Ruby the Liberal]

19. That was the WH correspondents dinner right?

SOmething like "I like John Boehner - we are both people of color although I am not sure what his is"?

:rofl:

[gateley]

23. Yep! That's it! nt

[CTyankee]

3. Has he started to cry yet?

It's no fun unless he cries...

[Ruby the Liberal]

5. All he said was "this isn't C&B" and turned it over to the toddler

6. These guys are all so full of steaming crap.

[Ruby the Liberal]

8. They spoke for a collective ~60 seconds and turned it over to Mike Pence

Didn't say anything other than "this isn't CC&B" and "the Senate must pass this".

[Parker CA]

17. And "it's reasonable" and "if POTUS doesn't sign it he's partisan and unreasonable."

[Ruby the Liberal]

20. Unfortunately, there is this little detail called the US Senate on that path.

Who will never go for it.

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. Q - about Reids plan A - Plan full of gimmicks and doesn't deal with entitlements

[Ruby the Liberal]

10. Q - Can you get the votes A - CC&B was bi-partisan

[Make7]

18. Five Democratic 'Aye' votes make it bi-partisan?

That's only 2.6% of the Democratic seats. Hell, even nine Republicans (3.8%) voted 'No' on that DOA bill.


ETA: In the Senate every 'Yes' vote to table the bill was Democratic and every 'No' vote was Republican. That's not especially bi-partisan, is it?
 

[Ruby the Liberal]

22. I know, right? Just like yesterday when he kept using "we" to describe this bill

As if it was a United Republican effort against the stubborn Democrats as opposed to only being backed by 1/3 of his caucus.

[mike_c]

11. sober?-- this late in the day?

:rofl:

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. I know, right? He did look like he had a headache though.

Withdrawals can be a bitch.

[gateley]

16. Yeah, the beginning of the dreaded DT's. nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. Boehner - balanced budget vote October 1 || Presser over

[gateley]

15. I asked in an earlier post what he was saying, but that was before

I saw your reporter-on-the-scene updates, so ignore. And thanks!

[Ruby the Liberal]

21. You are quite welcome.

Least we of the unemployed can do for those of you who have lives!

[gateley]

24. I'm essentially unemployed, too - only work 2 days a week and am

currently being sneaky (although sure to get busted) at work.
