[Iran Press TV] US House of Representatives Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner ... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans... has praised Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... for launching a military offensive in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... against the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... movement's Ansarullah fighters.
"I applaud the Saudis for taking this action to protect their homeland and to protect their own neighborhood," Boehner told news hounds in Washington, DC on Thursday.
"If America leads, our allies in the region would be tickled to death and would be happy to join a coalition. But America has to lead," he added.
Early on Thursday, Saudi Arabia began launching Arclight airstrikes in Yemen where the Ansarullah fighters have acquired power.
Saudi warplanes bombed the positions of the Ansarullah fighters and launched attacks against the Sana'a airport and the Dulaimi airbase.

I suspect he's experienced a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or common stroke from that alleged treadmill fall. He's way, way too junior to be retiring from the Senate. Oh, I don't know. Maybe he found a new opportunity. Perhaps the piano player in the Searchlight brothel finally retired as well.

I imagine it's not nearly as much fun being minority leader in the Senate as it was being majority leader -- and what will he be able to promise his voters, when it's likely the
Democrats will do worse in the next election rather than better?

And remember, upon retirement he gets to convert his 'reelection campaign graft bag funds' to personal use. Why burn through all that money he's accumulated as majority leader for an iffy reelection, reading the Tea Leaves of 2014.

It is amazing how a simple question can cause a complex lie to collapse like a house of cards. The simple question was asked by Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel, and it was addressed to two Democrats. He asked what has Hillary Clinton ever accomplished.

Hill multiplied cattle and fishes,
And scrubbed all of Bill's dirty dishes.
Though she may be sleazy,
She made it look easy --
Sheep surely should grant all her wishes.
[CNN] Marcia Keefer watched Martin O'Malley ...former Democratic governor of Maryland and aspiring presidential candidate, known locally as The One-Man Economic Wrecking Crew. O'Malley was elected to his second term driven by union support and near-Stalinesque vote margins in Baltimore city (82%) and Prince George's County (88%)... methodically work the room at a recent Democratic fundraiser in Davenport, Iowa, and readily acknowledged she knew nothing about the former Maryland governor. Oh, Gawd! Think "National Rain Tax." And the AR ban and AR magazine capacity limits...
"I have to ask, is he running for something or is he something already?" said Keefer, a retiree attending the Scott County Democratic Party's fundraiser.

He's Elizabeth Warren with a penis, which is why he won't get the Dem nomination in 2016.
#2
I dunno. Has that penis claim been independently verified?

Well, if he has a penls, he won't fit in as a Democrat presidential candidate: look what they nominated the last two times. (And how sure are we about Gore & Kerry?) Got to go back to Slick Willy to be sure.
Of course testlcles seem to be verboten among the Republican Congressional leadership, so maybe it's something in the water up there.

Dem oppo researchers don't dally:
Can Donk stalwarts beat off O'Malley?
Does he adore polling
Or more "ladies' bowling?"
They'll roll him out back in the alley!
[The Weekly Standard] As President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry close in on a nuclear deal with Iran, it's worth remembering that the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation received money from "a front for the government of Iran" called the Alavi Foundation.
The front gave the Clintons $30,000 between April 2005 and March 2006, according to tax forms. This occurred years after law enforcement officials tied the group to Iranian radicals. "The center is funded by the New York-based Alavi Foundation, which law enforcement officials say is closely tied to the mullahs who dominate Iran," the Washington Post reported in 2003. In other news from Feb 2014: 'Clinton opposes new Iran sanctions.'
"David Cohen, the New York City Police Department's intelligence chief, said in a recent court document that the Alavi Foundation is 'totally controlled by the government of Iran' and 'funds a variety of anti-American causes,' including the Potomac center and other mosques. These organizations, said Cohen, a 35-year veteran of the CIA, have affiliates that support Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, two groups the U.S. government has deemed terrorist."
In 2009, U.S. attorney Preet Bharara called the foundation a "front for the government of Iran." "The Alavi Foundation has effectively been a front for the government of Iran ... For two decades, the Alavi Foundation's affairs have been directed by various Iranian officials, including Iranian ambassadors at the United Nations, in violation of a series of U.S. laws." Newt: 'It's not the e-mails, follow the money.'

Rev. Jeremiah Wright said: "Bill Clinton was riding dirty. He did us like he did Monica Lewinsky." And Obama and Moochal, a part of the congregation, laughed heartily during the sermon? Bill and Hillary are still doing it to us via the MMs. Will take money from anyone. Nice pic of Hilda. LOL
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Just a brief bulletin, then we'll move right along. Time to fire up Air Force, because President B.O. is off to the Treasure Coast of Florida this weekend, specifically Palm City. The local press is attentive, reporting that Mr. Obama will play a few rounds at the Floridian National Golf Club. Yeah, well. Rather than prattle on about the cost of operating Air Force One ($206,000 an hour), here's the description of the course, just for the heck of it.
"This stunning, yet formidable Par 71 will certainly impress. At 7,114 yards, the 18-hole course offers perfectly manicured rolling fairways and greens, demanding hazards, breathtaking views of the St. Lucie River, and is surrounded by natural preserve and native wildlife."
