Nanny-Nanny Poo-Poo!

Boehner’s flip flop today redefines the very words “flip flop”.

Nancy Pelosi overspoke, stupidly on her part, but really, did the Republicans just get pissy and take it out on the entire economy?

I think they did.

Here’s Boehner’s boner:

First he says: “If I didn’t think we were on the brink of an economic disaster, it would be the easiest thing to say no to this,” Boehner said. But he said lawmakers needed to do what was in the best interest of the country.

After listening to Pelosi’s factually correct “partisan” speech:

House minority leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the vote that passage would have been possible if it had not been for Pelosi’s “partisan speech.”

So he was insulted and so he pissed all over the U.S. economy.

My favorite, though, is a conservative Republican from the great planet state of Texas, Rep. Jeb Hensarling. He opened his douche-nozzle of a mouth and said:

“The relevant test is, when you look at the good in the bill, when you look at the bad in the bill—does it take America in a direction that you believe America should go? By that test, Madam Speaker, I will vote no on this legislation.[…]”

Everything changes, Mr. Hensarling. Everything. The only constant is Change. In the face of that, attempting to thwart it is con “I fear that ultimately it may not work. I fear that it is too much bailout and not enough work out. I fear that taxpayers may end up inheriting the mother of all debts,” he added.

What Mr. Hensarling is really saying is that he prefers the past over any future and that he’s willing to tramp Americans down in the dirt rather than accept the fluid, relative nature of the universe. America isn’t Absolute. America isn’t a democracy. America swims in technology not even dreamed of just twenty years ago.

Everything changes.
