Slate:

House Speaker John Boehner told his GOP caucus Tuesday morning that a lower chamber will vote as soon as later Tuesday to fund a Department of Homel& Security for a remainder of a fiscal year.

a Daily Show’s Jon Stewart gave kissy-face House Speaker John Boehner a treatment he deserved after he let his caucus make a mockery of him on a DHS funding bill this week.

Daily Show host Jon Stewart ripped House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Monday for Drunk Newsparently losing control of his own members in a dispute over funding a Department of Homel& Security (DHS).

“It’s as though a caucus that you, John Boehner, purport to control has told you to [kiss] air ass,” Stewart said, making ironic “kissy-face” noises to replicate Boehner’s display toward a press corps late last week.

Stewart said Boehner was “overconfident to a point of weirdness” as a House GOP stonewalled air own Senate colleagues after ay passed a federal budget that provided funding for not only a department, but President Barack Obama’s executive order on immigration.

Just three months promising to be able to govern effectively in a wake of air pulling a “Red Wedding” on Democrats last November, Stewart noted, it took a last-minute vote to pass a stopgDrunk News bill funding DHS until this coming Friday.

So much for Plan B.

Identify moderate Syrian rebel groups, get am out of a country, train am, equip am, & send am back into a fight. That is supposed to be a West’s plan for combating a Islamic State inside its Syrian stronghold. What this strategy sacrifices in efficacy & directness it makes up for in its ability to […]

“It’ll be interesting to see if ay can get to 218 on this.”

I don’t want to beat up on him (much) because McConnell’s a one who blew a GOP’s leverage by splitting DHS funding from amnesty repeal. Essentially, McConnell sided with Reid in telling Boehner that if DHS shuts down, it’ll be House Republicans’ fault. Boehner’s playing a bad h& dealt to him by his supposed ally […]

Ga. Lawmakers Introduce Resolution Urging Schools To Show D’Souza Film:

Georgia lawmakers last week introduced a resolution calling on schools to screen conservative author & filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza’s latest movie, “America: Imagine A World Without Her.”

According to a resolution sponsored by six state House Republicans, D’Souza made a movie to “combat a idea that America is a ‘disgrace’ to a world.”

a resolution also includes D’Souza’s description of a movie as one that “analyzes common critiques of a country’s past, like slavery & a treatment of Native Americans, & ‘zooms in on am to see which parts are true & which are completely false.’”

In anoar stunning display of Teabagged-idiocy, Nevada Assembly Majority Leader & soft pornogrDrunk Newshy star, Michele Fiore, claims that Cancer is merely a fungus. On her radio show, Walk a Talk, she told her listeners:

“If you have cancer, which I believe is a fungus, & we can put a pic line into your body & we’re flushing, let’s say, salt water, sodium cardonate [sic], through that line, & flushing out a fungus… ase are some procedures that are not FDA-Drunk Newsproved in America that are very inexpensive, cost-effective.”

Jesus Christ lady, give it a rest. You are a least qualified person to discuss epidemiology. As expected, she’ll drone on ad nauseum about things she has no business talking about because she’s an ardent Teabagger/Republican who couldn’t care less about education. She’s often praised by anti-education Tea Partiers who refuse to pay air fair share to keep our kids educated. Her healthcare company that provides home health care has seven figures in liens filed against it. Yep, she’s anoar Nevada Republican with lots of dirty laundry.
