I LOVE the smell of desperation in the morning!
That smell – that whinny, Republican loser smell – smells like VICTORY!
Boner has FLIPPED OUT! He's in Captain Queeq territory.
At yesterday's weekly press conference he lost it and started SCREAMING and POUNDING the podium over.... wait for it... caps on executive compensation. You just can't make this shit up.
With everything going on today, it was the thought of capping AIG bonuses that drove him over the edge. Oh, brother.

We have another bill coming through here, two bills that seek to try to put the federal government in charge of deciding what salaries of employees ought to be.
This is -- this is just out of control. AND SOMEBODY'S GOT TO JUST SAY, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! [pounding the podium].
At this point CNN's reporters began LAUGHING at him.

And then things got worse -- yeah, it got worse. Boner went on to personally attact individual members of the press corps.
He quickly singled out a young print reporter, telling him, "You really do need to do something with that hair of yours."
He went on to finish his opening comments, but before calling on the same reporter, saying, "Get a brush, would ya?"
When Boehner called on the next reporter, he referred to him as "the bald guy."
When a female reporter, wearing her long hair pulled back, Boehner couldn't resist: "...What's wadded up in the back of your head?"
Some reporters chuckled, but others thought the GOP leader was being a little harsh.
Boehner continued his hair assessment, saying, "It looks so nice hanging down. It looks like you got up a little late and decided that, you know, I just wadded up the back. For those of you that don't know about me and ponytails, males get it — males get it just as bad as females."
As reporters walked out of the press conference, one asked Boehner's press secretary what she put in the Republican leader's coffee this morning.
