I bet that’s not all they “meet” for???
August 6th, 2007 at 5:52 pmBush and Boehner meet once a week to ‘plot strategy.’
Bush and Boehner (lmao) sittin’ in a tree. p-l-o-tt-i-n-g. First comes Iraq, then comes debt, then comes a Democrat to fix the mess.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:53 pmSo what. the Democrats just stabbed us all in the back because they were more concerned about getting a tan.
This government is broken, and we have all been had by the Democratic leadership.
I have been made a fool.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:53 pmMaybe that’s why Bohner was crying on the House floor??????
His butt was sore!!!!
August 6th, 2007 at 5:54 pmNo, that is not the case, it should state, and then comes the Democrats to capitulate and add to the mess.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:55 pm“Comment by RemoveBush — August 6, 2007 @ 5:54 pm”
Damn…..
I’m a poet and don’t even know it…..
August 6th, 2007 at 5:56 pmBush and Boner meeting once a week. Let the jokes begin.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:59 pm#3 Buck up there expat…I feel the same way. I just think the repugs are better at this than the dems. The dems have the false assumption that the repugs are still going to play by the rules…well, as you know that train has left the station long ago.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:59 pmThis would be news only if it weren’t the case, if Boehner never met with Bush to discuss strategy.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:59 pmBush… heh heh… Boner… heh heh…
Heheheheh Heheheheheh.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:00 pmNeeds a photo for a caption:
Bush: OK Boner, let’s see you emote
Boner: Mr President, what’s my motivation?
Bush: Karl, git over here and bite the Congressman’s nutsack, will ya?
August 6th, 2007 at 6:01 pm#10
Like the Drill Sgt in Forrest Gump…”You’re a fu(king genius Beavis”!!!
August 6th, 2007 at 6:03 pmBush never met a Boner he didn’t like.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:03 pmThis is gonna lead to the latest bad pick-up line in DC.
Man approaches woman at bar: Hi! Whaddya say? How’s about your Bush and my Boehner get together and ‘plot’ a little ’strategy’?
August 6th, 2007 at 6:05 pmBush’s stupidity is legendary, and Boehner still thinks Saddam had something to do with 9/11. How edifying those meetings must be … working out strategy on an Etch-a-Sketch.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:05 pmI bet anyone here a dollar to a fu(king donut that KKKarl chairs this meeting…any takers? Maybe with Shooter as a co-chair???
August 6th, 2007 at 6:06 pmBush has been very receptive of Boehner’s straight forward probing.

Ohhhh, that’s just not right. :-D
August 6th, 2007 at 6:07 pmBush and Boehner meet, way to easy on that one.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:08 pmBetter get those comments in quick folks…I predict this post will have a short shelf life. What’s sad though is there little “meetings” seem to be working on our pathetic “representatives”.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:11 pmThe Decider and the Enabler, both ready to usurp the Constitution for any and all acts of Political expediency.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:13 pmSo, can we blame the last six years of folly on Boehner also? Seems like he has been driving the bus for awhile.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:16 pmIs that what the over 200 private Whitehouse meetings with known gay prostitute Jeff Gannon/JD Guckert were called too?
-GSD
August 6th, 2007 at 6:19 pmGSD, those were called Meat and Greets.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:21 pmSo is that where Boner came up with the strategy to cry like a little girl?
August 6th, 2007 at 6:24 pmThis is news?
Like I said earlier, in another post… TP is getting very lame lately.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:28 pmOMG REALLY????????? I’m so shocked
August 6th, 2007 at 6:30 pm25: So what does that say about your life by posting here?
August 6th, 2007 at 6:31 pmBoehner slipped up, missed the Bush, now he\’s full of sh!t.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:31 pmFly-man, aha. The old grip and grin.
-GSD
August 6th, 2007 at 6:32 pmI bet anyone here a dollar to a fu(king donut that KKKarl chairs this meeting…any takers? Maybe with Shooter as a co-chair???

Yet you post… to give a meaningless opinion. If you can’t get with the program and come up with a clever post, then turn in your TP screen name…then go over to redstate.com, where the posts are so profound. NOT!
August 6th, 2007 at 6:36 pmon top of the hit to the gut we all had by them caving on the FISA bill,
Feinstein threw her hat in the ring to revisit the Southwick nomination! UGH! I am so fed up and frustrated with them.
Trying to end the war but not having enough of a majority was hard enough, but I could see how they were powerless to really do it, but in the FISA case, and revisiting the Southwick nomination, they made a CHOICE and DID have an option…don’t take a vacation, stay on the hill and at least debate it!
No wonder so many people stay away from politics, the truth turns your stomach.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:36 pmAll though I find this tobacco-check-accepting bed-wetting monarchist repugnant, he could teach Nancy Pelosi a few lessons about keeping his caucus together–it’s doubtful that ‘ol tobacco-checks, Delay, or Gingrich would have allowed 41 members of thier caucus to wander off the reservation and give the president of the opposite party a big, sloppy Constitution-shredding kiss.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:37 pm#32 Agreed…those bastards ruined my weekend. I can’t wait for some of these dems to come up in a primary…I hope they all get voted out.

A cold calm settles over the table. Bush looks up at Boehner, who looks like he has something uncomfortable to say. His throat is dry, the moment is tense. Finally, he manages to put into words the strategy formulating in his mind.
“Uh, go fish.”
August 6th, 2007 at 6:42 pmBush and Boehner meet once a week to ‘plot strategy.’
And everyone wonders why the US is so screwed up ?
The meeting of the mindless is not the way to go ….

August 6th, 2007 at 7:26 pmconpervative
that was hilarious!
August 6th, 2007 at 7:33 pmSo, Bush has lowered his standards. He now meets with Boner instead of Jeff Gannon. Big deal!
August 6th, 2007 at 7:40 pmSo much for the leak that Boner gave. I knew he was doing the job Bush asked him to do. So was Libby asked to leak the CIA’s name. Notice how the Bush/Cheney/Rove team have others to do their dirty work there by never get caught. Boner is paid well to do as he is told. He has to keep that tan, nails and hair do so he needs to keep that pay off money coming in.
August 6th, 2007 at 7:42 pmWith the illegal dismissal of Wilson’s civil law suit, I wonder how much the White House paid the Judge.
At lease Judge Walton works for the American people.
Bush probably “declassified” the secret briefing Boner “leaked” on national TV just before he went on the air. But Bush did it “triple X top secretly” so it wouldn’t harm our national security and it will eventually come out that when Boner said it Bush had already “declassified” it. After all, Bush is America’s numero uno”declassification” guy.
August 6th, 2007 at 7:45 pmConpervative, that was hilarious! Comment by Justice
TYVM Justice =)
Mebbe SNL will expand upon my oddities.
August 6th, 2007 at 8:00 pm“So what. the Democrats just stabbed us all in the back because they were more concerned about getting a tan.”
You MAY NOT judge all Democrats by the actions of a few. Far more Democrats in both the Senate and the House voted against Bush than voted for him. If you are angry, then put that anger to use like I did this weekend. I called or wrote every single Democrat that voted to give Bush the ability to spy on us. If you don’t have the lists, you can find both on the Daily Kos site.
August 6th, 2007 at 8:09 pm“Delay, or Gingrich would have allowed 41 members of thier caucus to wander off the reservation and give the president of the opposite party a big, sloppy Constitution-shredding kiss.”
You are right. The Republicans are all Lemmings who have been programmed to stay with the parental unit. Unfortunately Democrats are king of messy. They cover a large span of differing opinions and ideas and the act on those opinions and ideas. They don’t walk in lock-step to what their leader tells them to do. And you know, if I had my choice of thinking intelligent Democrats with differing views and ideas or the lock-step lemming Republicans, I’ll take the messy Democrats any time.
The problem with the current Democrats in Congress are the Blue Dog Democrats who are really just Republican-lite. I am frankly amazed that they vote with the Democratic majority as often as they do. Don’t like them Blue Dogs? Then get on the stick and get a grass roots movement going out there to kick them to the curb.
August 6th, 2007 at 8:15 pmBoehner was told to cry a lot.
August 6th, 2007 at 8:32 pmOf course he will. The only thing Bush has ever accomplished is failure.
August 6th, 2007 at 9:18 pmSorry, wrong thread. But it’s still true.
August 6th, 2007 at 9:21 pmbilbo, you are right. I am sometimes so spoiled by Feingold I forget what a corporatist Kohl is.
August 6th, 2007 at 9:52 pmAll the Republicans care about these days is strategy, because, for them, nothing needs fixing. Society’s problems mean nothing to them and the Federal government is sending huge quantites of cash their way. All they need to do is keep the status quo, keep the investigations from getting too far, keep Congress from accomplishing anything, keep the media fixated on the beauty pagent of the next election, and keep the money spinner spinning.
August 6th, 2007 at 9:59 pmHit the nail on the head. This is about siphoning money from the Treasury to private interests. We won’t be getting it back. The rednecks and conservatives will howl the loudest, and blame everyone else. e’re being robbed, and 26 percent of America wants to hold the door.
August 6th, 2007 at 10:03 pm“Last week, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) appeared on Fox News and disclosed a secret court ruling about the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program.”
“As the Bush administration’s “point man in Congress,†House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), has a “meeting every week with the president to plot strategy.â€
Well, at least we now know who leaked this classified information to Boehner, the Bush boot-licker…Bush himself.
Why both of these traitors to our democracy haven’t been arrested yet is beyond me.
August 7th, 2007 at 1:57 amThe strategy is to block votes, filibuster, and threaten to veto anything in sight.
