Astute readers of my postings and tweets will note that I don't think much of blowhard Boehner. Considering that the real person who called the shots and the tune in the House last year was the loathsome Eric Cantor, it's surprising that the Speaker was even called a "leader" of any kind during the meltdown fiascoes of last year. So when you read the following about doubts about Boehner, remember that us who admire statesmanship doubt that he's really capable of accomplishing anything, least of all telling the Tea Party idiots to shut the f*ck up and try to actually help the country.
Who’s Afraid of John Boehner?
Speaker’s Approach to Leading Unruly GOP Starting to Wear Thin
"Signs of strain have been building for months. Conservatives have repeatedly and openly defied him over the debt limit, spending levels and a payroll tax cut measure. And Boehner this month saw his signature policy plan — a fundamental reworking of how the federal government pays for transportation and infrastructure projects — collapse in the face of widespread, and very public, rank-and-file opposition."
You'd think that the guy could just tell the idiots that they're making themselves look bad. Hmmm, I wonder where the Congressional approval rating currently stands?

Fox News has them at 13% - and that's high. Which ought to tell Boehner something about how good his leadership style is working.
