As a political consultant said on the teevee recently, never kick a politician when he's up:
Democrats are openly wondering if House Speaker John Boehner is actually leading right now. His hold on his job has been called into question in the past few days by conservatives, so Democrats are joining in.
Here's Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, on the talk he's heard around town.
"We've heard about all the infighting going on with the House leadership. I don't know how valid it is. I just got a message here that there's a battle going on between McCarthy and Ryan and the Majority Leader in the House and Boehner."
"Boehner's having trouble finding help from his leadership as to what they're to do," Reid added.
House Democratic budget chief Chris Van Hollen piles on:
"I'm getting increasingly concerned that one of the reasons the speaker is trying to string out these discussions is he wants to wait until Jan. 3 until the elections for speaker take place. I hope he wouldn't avoid the tough decisions simply to take us into January after his swearing in, but I'm becoming increasingly worried that that's exactly what's going on." Boehner trying to save his parched, orange-tinted skin from his Tea Party right. How delicious is that? As a long-lost acquaintance, with a very sparse use of course language once said, "Payback is.......bad."
I sure hope so. |
