John Boehner did one of the more Republican things ever yesterday: while meeting with the American Bankers Association to discuss their Evil Plan to kill financial reform, he told them, “Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves.” KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY! This did not sit well with Barney Frank, who wrote a nasty letter to John Boehner for being mean to the Hill Staffer kids.
Dear Minority Leader Boehner,
I was very disappointed to read a quote from you in the Market Watch article by Ronald Orol, on March 17th, in which you say “Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves.”
I am appalled that a Leader of the House, who must know what good work is done by our staffs, would take such an inaccurate cheap-shot at these people, for the purpose of ingratiating himself with bankers or any other group. As Chairman of the Financial Services Committee, I work closely with a large number of the staff members whom you are demeaning by this statement, and while I obviously have closer working relationships with the members of the majority staff, I am familiar with the work done by a number of the minority staff members as well, both for the Committee and on personal staffs. Your reference to “punk staffers” trying to “take advantage” of people in the financial industry is wholly unfair to a lot of hardworking men and women, the majority of whom, in my judgment, could be making more money if they were working elsewhere, and working under less stressful conditions and shorter hours…
Look Frank. Someone has to stand up for the little guy, BANKING MONEY GLOBO-CORPORATION INC., in this fight against a few hapless 26-year-old junior research assistants who work out of the slaves’ toilet chamber.

Boehner’s not comfortable with the smart kids, huh? Dummies generally resent the smart ones.
Boner: Is there a promtion involved?
Hill Staffer: After ten years they give you a brush.
Jesus, it it weren’t for inaccurate cheap-shots Boner would have nothin’. Way to strap it on Barney!
Was Barney’s letter co-signed by the page who was blowing him?
[re=533242]Buzz Feedback[/re]: You so funny; have you ever thought of becoming a professional comedian, or comedy writer?
It sounds like there might be another shower scene on Capitol Hill soon – Frank might be poking Boner with his “finger” and not even be wearing a towel when he does it.
Minority Leader – keep a death grip on the soap, your overtall Oompah-Loompah.
That’s rich, bankers taken advantage of by young punks and their iThings and their Mr Pibb and their Avatar and shit.
I hope that one of Boner’s staffers who has to “paint” Boner’s skin replaces his fake tanner with Nair/Prep H (won’t happen, but it’s that warm toasty thoughts that count.)
Barney knows and speaks the truth. My first job was on Capitol Hill in 1983(the year of the LAST page/intern scandal
) My office was a restroom that had the plumbing removed but still had the tile. Great acoustics in that office.
[re=533246]Prommie[/re]: Man you just don’t get it. Barney Frank + sex = funny, because he’s GAY. HA HA HA
Barney: Don’t abuse my butt-boys! Only I can do that!
[re=533242]Buzz Feedback[/re]: LOL, I guess Frank knows which staffers work the hardest and deserve more pay for what they’re doing.
[re=533257]IslandGirlFL[/re]: You must’ve rated way higher than I did (Girl!): mine had the tile removed but not the plumbing.
[re=533242]Buzz Feedback[/re]: For that, you now have to read this crap, designed to make Republicans feel better about their sexuality. To be consumed with a size ten plug in the ol’ muladhara chakra.

Maybe if Boehner would spend more time on his page and less on his golf game/ tan, he wouldn’t be such a horrid monster.
On second thought, it doesn’t matter how much he gets. That orange troll is awful.
[re=533246]Prommie[/re]: [re=533258]Come here a minute[/re]: Sorry to disappoint, but I don’t care if Barney is gay, straight, or whatever. I just thought it ironic and slightly amusing that he’s talking about staff treatment when back in the day he was paying out of his own pocket to keep a guy on staff who happened to be a prostitute. But please, carry on. I don’t want to get caught between your jerking knees.
[re=533242]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Cheap shot?
Should somebody who skin tone is orange really be bad mouthing other people?
The American Bankers Association and the financial services sector brought our economy to the brink of a depression. As a punishment, the American taxpayer authorizes all little punk staffers to take a pound of flesh from their worthless asses – steal from them, piss on them, beat them, rape them, abuse them, use them like five dollar hookers – we don’t care just make the sons of bitches pay.
The last time I saw the word “staff” used so many times in one paragraph, I was a Level 7 Cleric.
Ahhhhh…. , He’s Judge Smails!

I get it now.
Too bad Elizabeth “Don’t Call me Liz” left the Hill. She’d take Mr. Boehner on for sure.
Was Boner brandishing a .44 while giving this speech?
[re=533251]ManchuCandidate[/re]:
I’m beginning to think that Boehner really is that color. And it’s not just the surface, he’s that shade all through his body due to him being composed of 127% nicotine. I bet he smells like an ashtray.
I think Boehner’s anti-pallor comes from his ability to take on the attributes of whatever object which is presently behind him. Much like a chameleon. It is obvious his off switch is on the fritz.
Speaking of “behind him”, do you think he is tan in the nether regions as well? You can thank me now for that earworm of imagery.
I’m sure MLK, Gandhi and Glenn Beck would’ve said the same thing.
Way to win friends and influence people, Orange Dale Carnegie!
Still, I think I’m going to adopt “Dear Punk Staffer” as my salutation of choice – and term of endearment – for future letters I write to the offices of my Congresspeople.
Boehner should not wear orange on St. Pat’s Day. Someone please cover his head.
Ah ha!!! You thought you could sneak in a picture of Intern Riley and no one would notice. You lose!!
The financial service corporations need to stand up for their civil rights, as outlined by the Supreme Court. Chain yourself to the White House fence, downtrodden financial service corporations! You have nothing to lose but your TARP funds.
Well it usually IS fun to insult them. But if Boner is doing it, maybe it’s wrong.
I’m cornfused.
I would rather clean toilets than be Boner’s staff person–or Massa’s for that matter. I HATE being tickled.
[re=533291]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Hey! Gratuitous attack on smokers! Why do you hate Obama so much?
Why is there a photo of Riley and George Hamilton in an article about that mensch Barney Frank?
“Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves” makes my brain melt, mostly because the grammar is so bad. Comma? Semicolon? Get rid of “and” and stick in a period? ACK it hurts, Boehner.
This is especially gross considering that the pumpkin-colored imbecile’s 46-year-old chief of staff died unexpectedly in January:

What do these Douche Bags have to do to get un-elected??? Serously, they could get caught on video stealing a grandma’s purse to buy crack and an underage hooker and they would still get elected.
Ah, Lady Noonington was besot with laughter when the Duke of Orange chided the serfs.
Boehner’s scared ****less, talking manly trash.
[re=533242]Buzz Feedback[/re]: It seems Buzz used to be a page who tried to blow Barney, but Frank … blew him off … It must be sad if you’re so ugly that even an old fat guy doesn’t want your 18 year old mouth ….
