I debated whether or not to post this, because it gives attention to Boehner...but the temptation was overwhelming. And he's calling others knuckleheads? :rolling:
Boehner: ‘I’d Rather Set Myself on Fire Than to Run for Office Again’
Former House Speaker John Boehner told NBC’s “Meet the Press†on Sunday that he’d rather set himself on fire than run for office again. Then he cursed at host Chuck Todd.
“I'd rather set myself on fire than to run for office again,†Boehner said.........
“You know, the only reason I asked that question is because I expected an answer just like that,†Todd said at the end of the interview.
“You're a s***. You're a s***,†Boehner said.
Todd asked if Boehner held himself responsible for the Republican Party lurching to the right in the last 10 years.
“Well, Chuck, every day that I saw this, beginning in 2011, I pushed back on it. I did everything I could to bring all these members into the Republican Party, into our team, but some of them just didn't want to come,†the former speaker said.
“Most of those so-called Tea Party types, frankly, became very good Republicans, and on any given day, I had 210, 215 solid Republican votes, but on any given day I had two or three dozen of what I call ‘knuckleheads’ who wanted chaos, who wanted it 100 percent their way or no way, but every single day, in the five years that I was speaker, I tried to work to bring them into the party. Some just wouldn't come,†he said.............

He needs to be trailed by a smoker 24/7 for the rest of his life, and by an Autoclub roadside assistance vehicle, just to be sure accelerant isn't lacking when the time comes.

Wouldn't be tough. His blood is at least 120 proof by this point.

What a coincidence, I'd rather set him on fire than have him run for office again.

He'd go up like buddhist monk in 1962 Saigon.

To the right? What alternative universe do they live in?

No need! I will personally fund the project!

I think it would be awesome if someone set up a mail in campaign where people would send him matches.

Bonehead set himself on fire long ago. That is why he is no longer in Congress. Worthless self serving POS!!!

He and the voters are seeing eye to eye on that subject. They had rather see him set on fire,too.

How about a kickstarter or GoFundme to pay for the lighter fluid and matches.
