Why do you think Boehner started using the word "torture" yesterday?

[NNN0LHI]

You think it might have something to do with the 2000 photos depicting torture being released by the Pentagon next month and he knows he had better get on the correct side of that?

Makes me wonder.

1. He just made a bone-headed mistake. Bet he went home after

and drank a fifth of scotch while berating himself mercilessly.

And today he feels like shit.

A girl can dream. ;)

5. I don't know, he seems like the type who would drink the

fifth of scotch and take it out on the little woman.

10. He looks to me like an old Rat Pack member. Sleazy lounge hanger-on

14. Good description! Yes, he does! nt

2. nah, I think he has always known it was torture, but he got off script by accident

His poker face is showing some cracks of late.

8. You have it... He can't very well go back now and say "I MEANT to say

enhanced interrogation techniques" now can he?

3. I'd say he just fucked up.

Boehner ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer. They know it is torture and it slipped out.
ETA it is hard to constantly lie. Eventually you are bound to say something that is the real truth.

7. Majorly

f*cked up. I'm kvelling, ya'll.

12. He appeared to be reading from what he had written down

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. A little white truth slipped out.

Pure mistake.

6. Cause He's Dumber Than A Sack Of Hammers????

This dude has never failed to screw up an opportunity. Democrats should be thankful for such an opposition "leader".

Methinks the shithead screwed up...the words came out before he knew what the hell he was saying. The fact his "spokesperson" had to walk it back later indicates that. It wasn't as much a rare moment of truth as a rare moment of insight...showing what the GOOPers are really calling it behind closed doors.

The Boner isn't a very good liar...

9. and much less useful (n/t)

11. Because he's an idiot. I'm sure he'll claim that he "misspoke" very soon.
