The tax cut bill considered by the House on Thursday isn't merely disappointing, it's "chicken crap." And Rep. Rob Bishop's three-piece suit?
"I told Mr. Bishop on the way in that just because he inherited this suit from his grandfather didn't mean he had to wear it," House Republican leader John Boehner teased his friend Thursday. "But his hair looks good."
Boehner, one of a dozen children of their bar-owning father, is given to smoking, tanning, golfing and teasing people he likes most. He's also a weeper at key public moments and liked for his geniality by many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
Boehner often comes right out with it, even when cameras are rolling.
Asked about the Democrats' bill Thursday to extend Bush-era tax cuts only for the first $250,000 of income, the Ohio Republican was blunt. The Democrats' bill, unlike the Republican proposal to extend the cuts for every American, has no chance of passing the Senate. So do House Democrats risk losing any glint of bipartisan goodwill by bringing it up at all?
"I'm trying to catch my breath so I don't refer to this maneuver going on today as chicken crap, all right?" Boehner said Thursday at a news conference. "But this is nonsense, all right? The election was one month ago. We are 23 months from the next election, and the political games have already started trying to set up the next election."

He's right !
I hope all the people who read this website and make over $250,000 a year are happy. Oh wait, none of you inbreds make that much but still support country club republicans like John Boehner.
12:26 - you are so ill informed. do you realize there are more millionaires in the demo party than in the repubs? you don't seem to have a clue about what is really happening so why comment? besides why does it trouble you so much to see people earn money? most people work hard and take risks for their earnings. yes, there are a few bad apples who lie, cheat and steal but for the most part it's earned legally. i'm happy people have more than i do. i certainly don't begrudge these people. they come in all colors, sizes and beliefs. again, why are you so jealous of people who have money?
12:26 Why do you want raise taxes on small business they're the ones who create jobs if you can't see that I have to question your intelligence.
Lowering taxes has always produced more revenue for the government everytime it has been tried .
12:54, the vast majority of small businesses would not be effected by letting the top rates expire. Do the math.
6:12 Even worse raising taxes on large business, our only hope of getting out of this mess. Hurry and get these incompetent Progressives out of office !
We can't tax our way out we need to shrink government and lower taxes!
