Blumenthal: John Boehner is 'alcoholic,' 'lazy,' 'banal'
2015-09-01
Posted by:DarthVader

#11  At a fundraiser in Colorado John Boehner stunned (both people) in the audience by calling Ted Cruz as a “jackass”.

Depending on your own opinion of Ted Cruz you may consider that to be an accurate characterization.

But unlike John Boehner, at least Ted Cruz is not a "DRUNKEN JACKASS".

#10  If Sid is saying this, I'm going to believe that the Speaker is a church going teetotaler.

Since Sid is a lying asshole...

#9   'alcoholic,' 'lazy,' 'banal' Never stopped Blumenthal from supporting the Kennedy's. But I agree Boehner is the Foster Brooks of Congress.

Save one, that being self promotion. Common traits within the beltway.

#4  Well, it is Sid's private assessment, though it also matches observations. The full quote is: "louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle

#3  That's Sid Blumenthal in the newly released Clinton emails, reporting hearsay and rumour to his main gal, Hil. Recall the issues about the truth value of his 'private intelligence reports' on Libya, etc to judge the likely truth value of this assessment.
