Boehner isn't just a lying sack of shit, but also completely incompetent.

[backscatter712]

Look at him. He's negotiating with President Obama on this debt ceiling crisis, but he's making offers that he can't back. He makes an offer, then has to pull it back because the teabaggers in his own caucus won't give him the votes. On top of that, Eric Cantor's busy putting knives in his back. It just seems that any competent Speaker of the House would know how to count votes, know how to get caucus leadership he can trust, knows how to fight a Rolodex war to kick usurpers in the nuts, and can stand and negotiate with the President without getting pantsed by his own party.

Compare Boehner to Nancy Pelosi. While Boehner can't seem to control the party known for marching in lock-step, Pelosi was able to get some damned tough legislation through the House, even though getting Democrats to do something together is like herding cats.

if his own party doesn't oust him, we will.
