GOP longs for The Bugman.




Thinkprogress:

Today, the Politico reports that House Republicans are frustrated with Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and questioning his leadership abilities:

This source also said Boehner “lacks some of the killer instinct” of former Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas). “DeLay had a lot of problems, but he got the job done. Boehner needs a little more DeLay in him. He’s got to knock some heads,” said this source.

Boehner has taken a decidedly anti-DeLay approach since taking over the party in early 2006, preferring consensus over conflict. But the GOP’s recent slump had some members and aides reminiscing fondly about the days when “The Hammer” ruled the Republicans.

I had no idea just how powerful the bug man was. I wondered by the Law Makers kissed his butt now I understand. Boner Boy is a cry baby and might even be gay. He is getting the kick backs but doing nothing for the money. The Republican Party needs new Criminal Leaders with new Criminal Ideas. Look the brain is gone and the Bug Man. The rats are turning on the rats in the GOP. Time to make a new law before all hell breaks loose. Bush/Cheney have to put a new Law in that allows the Bug man and other criminals to come back to work.
