Still no MSM coverage on Boehner's "small price to pay" gaffe
I guess if it's not in the Drudge Report then it does not exist for the MSM

1. Dean has responded
"Boehner’s comments yesterday are deplorable and he should apologize immediately," Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean said in a statement emailed to Election Central. "Bohener’s comments show how truly out of touch the Republicans are. The loss of a son or daughter is never a small price to pay, especially for a policy which was initiated by Republicans who misled the nation about why we are there."

2. Boehner's boner is not newsworthy
If it makes the administration look callous or stupid, it by definition is not worthy of national dissemination.

3. Don't worry about MSM
Get it into the public discourse in this district.

Parade the children, spouses, and parents of the "small price" and have them discuss how they're devastated by their losses.

4. Boehner himself is deplorable. He was majority leader for all of what, 9 months.
