Boehner finds another way to measure Republican failure

"Please love us for going backwards!"

"Please love us for going backwards!"

If you can't get anything done, try and change the measure of success:

House Speaker John Boehner says Congress "ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal."

The Ohio Republican makes the comments on an interview aired Sunday on CBS "Face the Nation." He was responding to a question about how little Congress is doing these days.

Boehner says Congress "should not be judged by how many new laws we create."

After 39 failed attempts (!) to repeal Obamacare, it looks like Boehner sucks at repealing laws too.

Maybe his metric for success should be "most unpopular Congress ever," because if that's the measure, he'd be an unqualified success.
