Boehner Bellies Up to Bar With Fowl Attack

By TChris

Why John McCain would want an inarticulate, corrupt boob like John Boehner to campaign on his behalf is difficult to understand -- except that inarticulate, corrupt boobs (and a few Hollywood celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger) are all he has left.

Appropriately enough, Boehner was campaigning for McCain in a bar. He's at his best when he's had a few drinks. At the Brick Street Bar and Grill in Oxford, Florida, Boehner criticized Barack Obama for voting "present" 3 percent of the time he voted in the Illinois legislature:

"Now, listen, I've voted 'present' two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn't feel like I should vote," Boehner said. "In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chicken sh!t. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."

Is there really a yellow button in the White House, Senator Boehner? [more ...]

Laura Heins, a sophmore at Miami University, is apparently unfamiliar with Boehner:

"To hear this man call this man a chicken sh!t in front of an audience was absolutely appalling," Heins said. "I couldn't believe it, this man's supposed to be a respected politician who's supposed to have a positive public image … It angered me that he would go that low in order to promote his own candidate."

John Boehner and "respected politician" should never appear in the same sentence. Fowl language (pun intended) and unfair attacks are all that Boehner and his like have left.
