Boehner does his best impression of a senator
@ 5:59 pm by Jordan Fabian


House Minority Leader John Boehner did his best impression of a senator Friday evening, invoking his privilege to unlimited debate to stall a final vote on the Democratic climate change bill.

Boehner had been speaking at length about the amendment he said was "filed at 3:09am," which spans 300 pages. Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Henry Waxman interrupted Boehner, asking the acting speaker Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.) to stop Boehner's mock filibuster.

But under the rules, Tauscher let Boehner continue his speech. The official Twitter of the GOP Conference reported that Boehner will read all 300 pages of the amendment.

6. Maybe a spray-tan refresh -
he wants to look his orangy best when he announces that he slobbed his martini over all 300 pages.

:rofl:

5. Boehner's a dick. A little one that fell off because the plastic surgery failed.
