John Boehner Simply Does Not Care For This Cap-And-Trade Bill

He does not care for Riley Waggaman, either.Today, in our ongoing celebration of profane Republican lawmakers, we bring you the beloved Ohio smoke-mummy John Boehner. On Friday he very coyly suggested that Nancy Pelosi’s “Let’s All Give Anal Beads to the Polar Bears for Christmas” enviroterrorist legislation was not quite to his taste …

HE CALLED IT A PILE OF SHIT. AS IN, POOP.

When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, “Hey, people deserve to know what’s in this pile of s–t.”

Using his privilege as leader to speak for an unlimited time on the House floor, Boehner spent an hour reading from the 1200-plus page bill that was amended 20 hours before the lower chamber voted 219-212 to approve it.

Did you know that John Boehner’s last will and testament includes a request that he be melted down into a pure carbon distillate and incinerated in the engine of a Hummer on its way to the Bunny Ranch? True story.

    Hope we can honor that last request soon.

  2. Sussemilch says at 12:29 pm, June 29th, 2009

    ‘Spose we should listen to the guy. Having packed more fudge than Fanny Farmer, Boehner knows shit when he sees it.

  3. Noodle Salad says at 12:32 pm, June 29th, 2009

    So, instead of taking an hour to mount an impassioned but logical refutation of the bill while proposing an alternative, he decided to use his time to just read directly from the legislation? I bet he got all bothered that it was in proper English, as well. Ladies and Gentlemen, your own very serious Republican party.

  4. SayItWithWookies says at 12:35 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Of course Boehner is against this bill — he didn’t get the fine leathery complexion of a baked sea turtle by avoiding the sun, you know.

    The party of Family Values. Of unified opinions. Of unswavering belief in one way of doing things.

    Does Riley have to show up in EVERY John-John Boehner photo? What is he, a damned stalker?

  7. thecaits says at 12:41 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Seriously, has no one told him he looks like an Oompa Loompa?

  8. rmontcal says at 12:43 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Was he sipping bourbon while he read it… or was he gulping it?

  9. rereridiculous says at 12:45 pm, June 29th, 2009

    On a quick read, I read that as “Let’s All Give Anal Bleaches to the Polar Bears,” you know, to match their fur or something.

  10. in the engine of a Hummer

    Ah, the old ‘wrapped in an American flag and burned with high octane gasoline by the President of the US’ burial ploy. Well, all but that last part.

    Boner is just worried he’ll have to cap the toxicity of whatever the hell it is he uses for his orange tan.

  11. Gopherit says at 12:49 pm, June 29th, 2009

    I can’t decide what’s more orange in that picture……his tie or his face.

  12. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:51 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Wait a minute, I thought no one read this bill and it wasn’t even written? Now it turns out that Boehner was reading it on the floor of the House? I’m so confused.

  13. Boehner looks forward to global warming, because when the earth is baked into a dessicated dustball, in flames, his orange skin will actually be a survival trait.

    Perhaps the first and the last time a Republican brings a Hummer to the Bunny Ranch.

  15. slappypaddy says at 12:54 pm, June 29th, 2009

    spoken by an expert on the subject? but it’s really great shit, man

  16. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 1:00 pm, June 29th, 2009

    I bet the baby cried when he read it too.

  17. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:02 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Boehner is right, it is not like Sun Tan Oil grows on trees…,

    Oh, wait…

  18. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 1:03 pm, June 29th, 2009

    He wants it to be warm enough to get a year round (natural) tan in Ohio.

  19. Redpony says at 1:09 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Damn! I thought I was the only one.

  20. oldguy says at 1:15 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Why would he want a natural tan? Rubbing petroleum distillates all over your body is an American birthright - Jesus invented handguns to protect those rights.

  21. Birdcrash says at 1:16 pm, June 29th, 2009

    John Baner-Boner may be the first republican politician to die of a carrot overdose. ‘damn vegetarian.

  22. OReillysVibrator says at 1:21 pm, June 29th, 2009

    He spoke just an hour before giving up? What a pussy! If I was one of his corporate slaveowners demanding my money be used to prevent any emissions control of my planet-crippling factories, I’d be most disappointed and whip him good!

    One hour? Strom Thurmond filibustered the Civil Rights Act for 24 hours! I can’t believe Boehner is so weak in his convictions he only cares about quickening the Earth’s destruction 1/24 as much as Thurmond hated black people. I thought John had convictions.

  23. Come here a minute says at 1:30 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Ha! The joke’s on him — now that this bill is passed you can only get to the Bunny Ranch by taking the monorail from Disney Land!

  24. hobospacejunkie says at 1:33 pm, June 29th, 2009

    And the media continues allowing republicans to deny the existence of global warming unchallenged, even though doing so is as credible as the birthers’ denying Obama’s American birth.

  25. Extemporanus says at 1:34 pm, June 29th, 2009

    Seriously, though, polar bears are totally fucking retarded.

  26. Suds McKenzie says at 2:05 pm, June 29th, 2009

    will his tanning salon be “capped” or “traded”?

  27. Being the embodiment of bronzed turd himself, you have the excrement calling the cow patty brown. Now is when we could use a probing comment on values from Scott “moist flushable wipe” Simon.

  28. TeddyS says at 2:39 pm, June 29th, 2009

    I keep trying to ignore it, but the sumbitch really is orange.

  29. sitonmyface says at 4:11 pm, June 29th, 2009

    I just LOVE a man with a good, fake tan!

  30. Jukesgrrl says at 7:31 pm, June 29th, 2009

    rmontcal: “Was he sipping bourbon while he read it… or was he gulping it?” Neither. He was bathing in it.
