Boehner's timidity shines through in light of scandals

So...Boehner held a press conference this morning to talk about...jobs? Umm, what month or year is this guy stuck in? Not that they're not important, they are...but this administration is currently embroiled in numerous scandals, RIGHT NOW! It's time to take action! Yet, Boehner can only muster up a single response to the IRS scandal...
“The IRS admitted to targeting conservatives, even if the White House continues to be stuck on the word ‘if.’ My question isn't about who is going to resign. My question is who's going to jail over this scandal?”


Oh yeah, that'll show'em, Mr. Speaker. Then after jobs talk and a phony vote to repeal Obamacare (defund it, fool!), Boehner gives props to Issa on the Benghazi hearings...and still no mention of a select investigative committee...
“I want to applaud Chairman Issa and the Government Reform Committee for all of their work last week on Benghazi – trying to get to the bottom of what happened. The administration could make this a lot easier for all Americans by coming forward with e-mails that they’ve shown us, in some cases, but have not turned over to us. And I don’t want to prolong this anymore than anyone else, what I want is the truth.”


We all want the truth....but you're the only one holding things up!

Pathetic, folks. It's disgraceful that Pelosi was so much more effective for all the wrong reasons. The time for timidity is over, especially in light of scandals that would typically bury a president in sane times. I know...

For the umpteenth time, we need a new Speaker!
