He was a scumbag when he was a state representative and became more of a scumbag as he moved into national politics and gained power.

Now he and the GOP are furiously trying to do damage control, because what he said wasn't really what he said.


Boehner: Government--i.e. Taxpayers--Should Help Pay For Oil Spill


Late update: Boehner spokesman Michael Steel emails to say "Boehner made a general statement about who is responsible for the spill, and the federal government oversight was clearly lacking, but he has said repeatedly that BP is responsible for the cost of the cleanup."

Of course they should.

I have little doubt though that the taxpayers will be on the hook for a large percentage of it.

Even as we speak.

Who is paying for the Coast Guard's efforts in this?

I'd imagine he thinks the company is wholly owned by the Queen: this is pahunkboy we're talking about, after all.

I think the taxpayers should pay for the clean up but only those who own stock in bp
