“I think what Boehner did in postponing the vote until today was absolutely right,” he said on “Special Report.” “That was a rape of the Treasury. $60 billion, including a ton of pork.

how has cabbagemallet not been pushed down a flight of stairs yet?
I keep expecting to see a lizard tongue flicker out of that mouth and sniff the air.
I guess he also thinks that business of tipping his head back and looking down his nose at the world makes him look like Bill Buckley.
It doesn’t.
