A postscript on John Boehner
October 5, 2015 -- John Lawrence, a former longtime House Democrat staffer, commented in a New York Times o-ed article, September 26, "I think [Boehner] lacks the blood lust that courses through so many in the G.O.P. ranks." LPR would modify the observation to say that Boehner lacked "the blood lust that courses through Democrat ranks. By the way, LPR saw no mention in the Times of action taken by Boehner, as speaker, against conservatives. Nor did LPR see in the Times any analyses of Boehner's resignation from conservatives he purged while he was speaker. |
By the way, Boehner invited Pope Francis to address Congress -- and got no flack on this from The White House, Congressional Democrats or The New York Times. It was a different matter when Boehner invited Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Congress, last March.
