remember when he said in 2008 about putting lipstick on a a pig? A slur against Sarah Palin

Is #1 sayung that Boehner said something about putting lipstick on a pig and that it was a clur against Sarah Palin? As to whether I remember that, no I don´t. In fact, I don´t believe it.

Two wrongs do not make a right - and hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.

The Speaker of the House diminishes himself and the office when he uses crude, vulgar speech in public. It does not make him sound strong and determined. It makes him sound impotent and frustrated. I was very disappointed to hear this sort of talk from a Republican. It only lowers the already low bar further. There is no need for it. It was a mistake.

We have long come to expect such bad language and coarse manners from Democrats and their supporters. It should not be expected or accepted from Republicans.

This episode does not allay my doubts about Boehner in general. Foul language and cursing will not defeat Obama and the radical Lefists he represents.

Soory #3, use of the word "ass" is neither crude or vulgar. You want to hear crude and vulgar? You should have heard my wife when she saw the additional taxes taken out of my check after the first of the year...

I´m willing to give Boehner a pass on this.
The frustrations of trying to work with Obama and the ever moving goalpost and Harry Reid the mummy who can not do his job would frustrate the heck out of me.

And not one word from the mainstream press expressing outrage over a Dem rep´s recent invitation to a 17-yr old girl to see the snake in his pants. The media is so predictable they make me yawn just thinking about them.

Obie´s full of Hate, therefore Hate Speech...and the MSM cares not.

UTube has videos of Obama flipping the bird to Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

#4 -

The issue is not the word itself but context in which is was used, plus the contemptuous (impotent) imperative mode of speech. Only losers tell people they have no control over to get off their ass. My respect for Boehner, not terribly high to begin with, has fallen. I am sure he can live with that - but I hope he will refrain from such juvenile language in the future, now that he sees what anybody could have predicted, that the double-standard Left-wing media will pounce on it to use against him. One wonders what kind of politician would not have known this, nor that such language only makes him sound weak and ineffective.

It´s only a guess, of course, but I suspect that your wife probably does not go around in public telling people to get off their ass if she doesn´t like their behavior. Even most sailors do not swear like sailors in public. Career USMC NCOs do not talk that way in public, at least while in uniform. There is probably a USMCJ regulation prohibiting such language. It is vulgar, disrespectful and ignorant. No public official should talk that way in public, least of all a Republican. We already know Democrats have bad manners, low tastes, and double standards. Permitting Republicans to join them and then complaining about the widely known Left wing media bias is not the answer.

If I am mistaken and your wife does make a habit of telling strangers and people in public to get off their ass when she is displeased, you have my sympathies. It must be rough eating out, going to church, or attending most social functions with her. (It could be one reason the invitations have stopped coming in.)
