Boehner: "The American Public Will ‘Hang’ Nancy Pelosi"

[kpete]

Responding to questions over whether Pelosi could call a special session - which Democrats insist won’t happen - and vote on other issues that Republicans may not want to face, such as an expansion of childrens’ health insurance programs, which President Bush and GOP congressional leaders have opposed.

“She’s gonna bring us back and not deal with it? The American people are gonna hang her,” Boehner said. When pressed further, Boehner said it would “be fine, as long as we get a vote on our bill.”

3. They turn to violence to solve their problems so readily, don't they?

But for some reason, we're not supposed to notice that or comment on it.
