I did read where he told Reid to Go F* Himself. Maybe he's just tired of the crap.
Washington - Things got a little heated during the negotiations that ultimately led to a deal between Congressional Democrats and Republicans that averted the so-called 'fiscal cliff.' So heated, in fact, that the 'family values' Republican House Speaker told the top Senate Democrat what he could do with himself. Hint-- it wasn't "have a Happy New Year."
Politico reports that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) pointed an angry finger at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and told him to "Go f*ck yourself" not once, but twice, in the White House lobby on Friday, according to several witnesses. After a shocked Reid asked what Boehner was talking about, the Speaker repeated himself lest his message wasn't understood.
Perhaps Boehner was still fuming over Reid's accusation that he was running a "dictatorship" in the House. Or perhaps the frustration at the impotence of Congress in finding a fix to avoid half a trillion dollars in tax hikes and spending cuts was wearing on him.

I know that we are told that these men behave like gentlemen. (Ahem.) I don't believe it. I think that when they get angry, abusive, rowdy or drunk that any of them can let loose and act like they would at the local pool hall.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

I think what Reid did in calling him a dictator was far worse than being told off to be honest. The D's are despicable and playing nice hasn't done a lot of good lately. They only understand gutter language.
I think that there is something very wrong with that guy Reid's brain. Seriously, either he is demented and/or drugged up on something. The things that come out of that monster's mouth are unbelievable.

Isn't this the same group which sabotoged Boehner's Plan B?

Bingo. Once again a punk like Reid and Zero are allowed to say and do whatever they want and there isn't one person on our side in a leadership position calling BS on them. That is why the GOP is collapsing as we speak. If they cannot defend themselves against crass loser Rats, how in the hell can they defend American principles.

Name the fighters in the party. There are none.
Democrats go for the jugular on every single issue and they never let up until the blood runs freely.
Republicans run crying and screaming like little girls.
We have no opposition.
