Boehner's Latest Boner

Just what is it about republicans?

They can't tell the US Constitution from the Declaration of Independence. They can't recite the Pledge of Allegiance. They send the troops off to unnecessary wars, vote against military pay raises, shut down VA hospitals, and then claim Democrats "don't support the troops." They claim Democrats are "weak on terrorism," yet on 9/11 we had a Republican President, Republican Vice President, Republican House, Republican Senate, Republican Mayor of NY and Republican Governor of NY.

Well here's the latest gaffe from the Boner. He says he's quoting the Constitution, but it's really the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence. Wow. And he's even holding his tiny edition of the Constitution! Maybe too much time in the tanning salon fried his brains...

Michelle Bachman and Virginia Foxx don't seem to notice the screw-up either.

Even First Graders Know the Pledge of Allegiance

It happened in front of a crowd of right-wing Teabaggers, shipped in on 40 buses paid for by right-wing billionaire CEO David Koch who runs the organization "Americans for Prosperity," which spends millions opposing health care reform.

Kicking off yesterday’s tea party protest at the Capitol, Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin tried to whip up the crowd to join him in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it “drives the liberals crazy.”

Then he botched it.

So eager to scream the words “one nation UNDER GOD,” Akin skipped right over the next word – “indivisible” – before stumbling into “with liberty and justice for all.”
