Overheard Outside Rep. John Boehner's Private Echo Chamber:



John Boehner

“The House of Representatives has not voted 54 times to repeal Obamacare in the past four years. That is a lie and a distortion.”

Walter Cronkite
“No sir, it is neither a lie nor a distortion. It is a documented fact, you dickhead. Might I say that as Speaker of the House, and third in line to the presidency, you are expected to be working on behalf of all citizens of these United States, not just those members of your party with special interests or axes to grind. As a leader, you are deficient and dishonest. As a deficient and dishonest man, you are a great success. However, you apparently are lacking in even the most basic of mathematic skills, thus being unable to count to 54.”

Walter Cronkite, broadcast journalism legend
