One email was for Faux Nuze and the other for the rest of the media.

Is Boehner auditioning for the part of Twiddle Dum and Twiddle Dee-dummer?

Mr. John Boehner, I am a Green Party Member, I just read the GOP website party platform on the Iraq War, it is full of outdated sound bytes from Bush years. It is time to update the GOP platform, it is no wonder you have to improvise and flip flop on this issue. Example, Obama would lose a war to win a political campaign. (Sep 2008) That was 2 years ago, the GOP has tons of money and they cannot even update their own website!

The second email must have been written while he was drunk again.

John, the thing I like about you is your ability to form your message to fit the situation. You have an uncanny ability to contradict yourself in the same day, showing that your mind can be changed quicker than underwear. This is the kind of non-committal blithering that proves you are a number one bulls h1tt&r.

"Well, then now, I'll begin at the beginnin'. A fine soft day in the spring, it was, when the train pulled into Washington, three hours late as usual, and himself got off. He didn't have the look of an American President at all about him. Not a bottle of JD on him; what was worse, not even a fishin' rod." But, truth be told, I'll raise my glass and drink a toast to his Afghan strategy, for it will keep the war going, hic, until we get Sarah and Mitt into our White House!

The two shades of orange. Let me clarify Mr. Boehner's stance: Mr. Boehner is for the war when we are winning and he's against the war when we are losing. This does not suggest, however, that the distinguished Ohio legislator is flip-flopping. He is simply trying to assure that he reflects the popular view, whenever it is convenient.

I laugh...and laugh again at Pumpkin McBonehead's inconsistency.

Too bad that the people in his district keep reelecting him.

while it appears that Boehner is contradicting himself based on ideas...it really is as simple as he gets confused over what he was told to say, and what he was told not to say.....

the guy is a t0tal t00l
