Blumenthal: John Boehner is 'alcoholic,' 'lazy,' 'banal'
« on: September 01, 2015, 01:34:18 pm »
Hillary Clinton confidant Sid Blumenthal had nothing but bad things to say about incoming House Speaker John Boehner on the day Republicans won back the House from Democrats in 2010, according to new emails released by the State Department late Monday.

"Boehner is despised by the younger, more conservative members of the House Republican Conference," Blumenthal wrote to Clinton. "They are repelled by his personal behavior."

"He is louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle," he added.

According to dictionary.com, "louche" means "dubious, shady, disreputable."

Well, at least with his assessment of John Boehner.

Of course. Should have put some qualifiers on my comment.  ^-^

I think that's a pretty good assessment of Boehner, however I would like to add that he is a RINO jackass.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I wonder if he will be offended by this email?  They all think the dems love them because they vote their way all the time.
