Hillary Clinton confidant Sid Blumenthal had nothing but bad things to say about incoming House Speaker John Boehner on the day Republicans won back the House from Democrats in 2010, according to new emails released by the State Department late Monday.
"Boehner is despised by the younger, more conservative members of the House Republican Conference," Blumenthal wrote to Clinton. "They are repelled by his personal behavior."
"He is louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle," he added.
[According to dictionary.com, "louche" means "dubious, shady, disreputable."]
"He is not Gingrich, the natural leader of a 'revolution,' riding the crest into power," Blumenthal continued as he described Boehner, R-Ohio. "He is careworn and threadbare, banal and hollow, holding nobody's enduring loyalty."

Didn't need to read this article to know that he is a complete and utter idiot. I really hope the people in Ohio vote him out like VA did to Cantor.
He's telling the truth. I've messaged the RNC several times and told them basically same. Him and McCane are ready for the pasture. Bob Aswell...Voter
He's an a$$ He threatens members with committee positions if they don't vote his way. Fortunately there are a lot of young members of Congress to tell him to go screw himself.
He's not lying. Boehner couldn't carry Newt's jockstrap.
So what are you saying? He gets as much done as the rest of the losers.
Am I the only one who had to google the word 'louche'?
Yep, yep, and Yup to the headline.
