I ran across ol'Fly on the Wall at Free Will this afternoon and he told me what he heard the Prez say to Mitch and John the other evening at the White House. It went something like this.....
Mitch, right now you're 50/50 to return after the '14 elections. After the tea party challenge I'd put you at 1 to 9 ('specially after being caught talk'in truth while be'in wired). And, I will work on that 10% to drive it as close to zero as I possibly can, oh, and Bubba's & his wife, the next Prez, are com'in to Kentucky to campaign against you. Mitch, when you're finished puking, please leave by the rear door. You do not want to be seen like this. That's right, let that E-5 Marine, whose family would've been unpaid during your putsch, help you on your way out.
Now John, this drama is almost over, just like your speakership. You will twist in the wind until your own party cuts you down. That will end you. Did you have plans after government service? K Street perhaps? I cannot wait to deal with Eric Cantor. I have sump'in special for him. When he comes and asks you what happened, tell him you are a rabbit and 'Valdez Is Coming'. Please understand, this is not payback for your attempts at mimicking me or the "YOU LIE!" at the State of the Union or the Republican plans for a still born administration while I was taking the oath of office...the first time. Probably the second time too, but the wave function collapsed and your fate and your party's future was set the moment I took the oath the second time. John, this is just business. The business of a community organizer and his community of 300 million plus citizens.
