John Boehner, supperating ulcer on the Body Politic
In a patently desperate attempt to find something to smear Obama with, Minority Leader John "The Pustule" Boehner deliberately clipped all but two words out of an interview with Sen Obama so that he could state, falsely, that Obama called the State of Israel a "constant sore." Several Boehner sycophants tried to pick up the idea with all the success of Dave Vitter trying to have sex without diapers. We will give the last word on the subject to the interviewer, himself, Jeffrey Goldberg.
"Mr. Boehner, I'm sure, is a terribly busy man, with many burdensome responsibilities, so I have to assume that he simply didn't have time to read the entire Obama interview, or even the entire paragraph, or even a single clause. If he had, of course, he would have seen that Obama was clearly calling the Middle East conflict, and not Israel, a sore. Why, there's no one who would disagree that the Middle East conflict is a 'sore,' is there?Republicans, sucking wind before the first turn.
"I have no doubt that Mr. Boehner will issue a correction to his press release in which he states the obvious, which is that Obama expressed -- in twelve different ways -- his support for Israel to me.
If he doesn't, however, I would, sadly, have to agree with my colleague, the less-forgiving Andrew Sullivan, who called Boehner's statement a 'flat-out lie.' In fact, I would add to Andrew's post, by calling Boehner's statement mendacious, duplicitous, gross, and comically refutable."
