Republican leader John Boehner gave a refreshingly honest assessment of the Cap-and-Trade bill
We’d like to thank Minority Leader John Boehner, the Republican from Ohio. Because we are sooooo damn tired of namby pamby Republicans who would rather be popular than honest.
Boehner didn’t mince words about the Democrats’ Cap-and-Trade fiasco. When asked why he took an hour to read portions of the bill aloud on the floor of the House prior to the vote, Boehner said, “Hey, people deserve to know what’s in this pile of shit.”
And that reminds us of a story about Harry Truman, one of the last honest men in Washington, DC. as related by Time magazine:
Always an earthy talker, Truman once offended a friend of his wife’s by referring repeatedly to “the good manure” that must have been used to nurture the fine blossoms at a Washington horticulture show. “Bess, couldn’t you get the President to say ‘fertilizer’?” the woman complained. Replied Mrs. Truman: “Heavens, no. It took me 25 years to get him to say ‘manure.’”
We hope Boehner continues to point out manure when he sees it.

That story about Truman is perfect! I’ve been fertilizing my garden. I finally think the worms are returning! LOL I’m like Bess though, over the years I’ve relaxed some.
Yes, it is a pile – I don’t know how it is going to effect my family for sure but my husband keeps hinting that we may be retiring early.
Refreshing and blunt honesty!
Yep.
Rat face Henry Waxman is a steaming pile himself. What a whinney bastard Waxman is, I was even imbararrased for his ass on the floor the day they voted on this piece of shit bill, and I despise the SCUMBAG. The best part of Waxman ran down his mommas ass and left a brown stain on the sheet.
Calling Henry Waxman a scumbag, is an insult to scumbags! I’d call him; “Rodent Face” but I’d be insulting, “Rodents!” I don’t think there is an insult that you could call him, that wouldn’t be an insult to insults!! Just vote him out of office and you won’t have to call him at all.
