While many already know that John Boehner is an ass who behaves like an ass, the House Speaker made sure the rest of the world knew that when, at a formal press conference on the morning of Feb. 11, he told media that Senate Democrats need “to get off their ass and do something[.]”
Well, what Boehner actually said was, “Whyn’t ya go asssk Thenit Democratzzz when they gonna git offa dere asszz an doo sumthin udder thhhann vote nnoh!”
Wha he waz reeeallly thayin… um… wait a sec… okay…
What he was referring to was a Republican-authored bill pertaining to funding of the Dept. of Homeland Security, which passed in the House last month. Senate Democrats have already blocked the bill, prompting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to ask on Feb. 10 that the House GOP offer a passable variation.
And why do Senate Democrats dislike this Homeland Security bill, which Boehner encouraged remain intact? Because it contains many riders that have little to do with Homeland Security, that’s why.
Included in its package are overrides of previous legislation and executive orders regarding immigration. Specifically, it would eliminate a 2012 discretion that deferred by two years the deportation of illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. The president extended that offering to a wider group in an executive order last November.
And now a xenophobic Boehner doesn’t want to comply with his Senate counterparts’ request that House GOP stop bouncing quarters and get back to work.
See Boehner’s preth confrunth below (but a transcription of his slurred address is also included for those who don’t speak bourbonese):
The House did its job. We won the fight to fund the Department of Homeland Security and to stop the president’s unconstitutional actions. Now it’s time for the Senate to do their work.
You know, in a gift shop out here, they’ve got these little booklets on how a bill becomes a law.
The House has done its job. Now why don’t you go ask the Senate Democrats when they’re going to get off their ass and do something other than to vote ‘no.’

Yeah! Don’t those lousy Democrats understand that obstruction and doing nothing but say “no” is STRICTLY for use by Republicans?? The nerve…..
Karma is a bitch!
He is a classic drunk!
Now the DRUNK knows how it feels to hear the word NO!
I could use any number of republican rape analogies here… But I think I choose… “if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Todd Akin
Funny, funny stuff, Mr. Boehner.
Oh, you were serious?
That’s even funnier.
Ah, the famous Boehner-scotch-induced-projection. Warm and fuzzy.
Mostly fuzzy. Warm, not so much.
Fuzzy and sticky.
LOL! They haven’t even started voting HELL NO yet.
NICE! I see what you did there.
The orange man is delusional.
He kept licking his lips because, you know, Koch jizz be sticky.
To answer Boehner’s question “They (senate) will not stop saying no because Americans are saying no to republican illegal agendas. We don’t like what you are doing to our country.
They truly seem to think they’re failing at getting their message out; we’ve heard their message loud and clear and thoroughly reject it!
Not surprised Boehner had to belt down a few to work up the nerve to utter that ridiculous bullshit.
My brand new irony meter just exploded. Thanks, Boehner.
Only repoblicans are allowed to say no… it says it right on the booklet.
Ah I see - so I guess then obstruction is only for the Democrats and that’s why it’s okay with you now right? Bunch of hypocrites. Perhaps McConnell should be like Reid and change the Senate rules so the Dems have no say then.
Woe is me… Oh, the irony!
They all know how to vote yes when they vote themselves a pay raise or additional perqs.
*hiccup*
If you don’t see the BS projection coming from Boehner, you are part of the problem.
EXCELLENT ..Coming out of a drunk who had the house vote 60X to repeal Obamacare..The Tanning light must have finally fried his booze soaked brain lol..
Someone should seal his lips with “SCOTCH” tape..lol..
Are yOu F’ing kidding me? The Republicans obstructed for 7 years….talk about a “do nothing” Congress. He is such a d**k!
Okay I don’t like Boehner either but there was nothing drunk or slurry about his speech. My hearing isn’t the best and I understood every word.
He DOES know Republicans control the Senate, too, doesn’t he? Doesn’t he?!?
Boner.
Thug!
