I'm disgusted and have to vent.
May's racist satire, Keating & Buchanann saying Obama is a "guy from the street," Palin - "he pals around with terrorists," etc.
So, these are stupid and disgusting. But, Boehner hit a new low...
... Yesterday, Boehner had this to say about Congressman Barney Frank.
House Republican Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio fired back by poking fun at Frank’s speech impediment.
“You know where he’s from. He’s from Massachusetts, although he can’t say the word ‘Massachusetts,’” Boehner told a group of Republican donors in Atlanta on Tuesday.

So, a LEADER of the Republicans has now resorted to picking on people because of the way they talk? Because they have a lisp? Because, somehow, a physical handicap makes them laughable?
Did those Republican donors laugh or did they call him out?
We are facing an economic disaster. Rich people are losing millions of dollars. Middle-class people are losing their retirements. People from all backgrounds are in danger of losing their jobs and homes. Less fortunate Americans are in an even more precarious situation. A LEADER of the republican party reacts by tossing an insult that would get a 1st grader sent to the principal's office.
I have a question for you, John Boehner (R-Ohio), "If you think that Barney Frank's minor physical handicap is funny, do you laugh yourself to tears at Palin's baby?"
Disgusting.
