Boehner Needled On This Week Over Effexor Slogan

Well, we seem to have come full circle on the matter of the House Republicans hilariously choosing a campaign slogan, "The Change You Deserve", that is shared by the anti-depressant Effexor. On today's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, the eponymous host took a few minutes to rub it in the face of House Minority Leader John Boehner.

[WATCH.]

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democrats are having some fun at your expense this week because they look at your slogan, "The Change You Deserve," and say that's the slogan for Effexor, an anti-depressant. Here was Congressman Steny Hoyer, your counterpart.

HOYER: [on videotape] "The Change You Deserve", of course, is a trademark for an anti-depressant. It does have side effects. It can make you sick. 82% of Americans have indicated they are sick and tired of the policies that have been pursued by the Bush-Boehner administration.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Shouldn't you have seen that coming?

BOEHNER: Listen, I could have used an anti-depressant last week.

Hey! Maybe the American electorate is poised to take the Congressman up on that offer! After all, one of the typical side-effects of anti-depressants is a difficulty in maintaining a "Boehner."

I know...bad joke. Still: very true!

LOL! This is too funny. The Republicans are running scared, and more importantly letting everyone know about it.

Dems, let's put the party back together and beat McCain all of the other Rep. in November
