Who is this mysterious giant sidekick standing by John Boehner? It’s wearing a burqa and seems poised to suicide-bomb him at any moment if he doesn’t do the Sharia they agreed upon earlier. WAKE UP, AMERICA, THERE ARE GIANT MUSLIM ROBOTS IN CONGRESS THIS VERY SECOND. [Reuters via Wonkette operative "Dan"]
“If the president doesn’t get serious about the need to address our fiscal nightmare, yeah, there’s a chance it [the debt limit vote] could not happen,” Boehner told POLITICO after he toured a manufacturing company in this western Ohio town. “But that’s not my goal.” Apparently going around making speeches and proposing solutions to the [...]
