Speaker of the House John Boehner apparently can sleep with his eyes open. How else do we explain his odd (and objectively wrong) criticism of Obama’s State of the Union Speech?
If there’s one thing President Obama did go on about a bit about in the State of the Union, it was American exceptionalism — as the National Journal’s Ron Fournier noted at some length.
Two who didn’t entirely notice were Speaker John Boehner and Kathleen Parker. From Parker-Spitzer:
BOEHNER: Well, they — they’ve refused to talk about America exceptionalism. …
It should also be noted that Obama called Boehner Speaker of “The Greatest Nation on Earth.”
Boehner’s nonsensical complaint inspired my latest limerick:
John Boehner — Exceptionally Wrong
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Exceptionalism was missing
From the SOTU says Boehner, dismissing
Obama’s big speech
Which he tries to impeach.
Not list’ning enables the dissing.
