65 Outstanding Words

When we (virtually) cornered incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) last November, we asked him a rather pointed question:

"Mr. Speaker ...Did you really mean what you said about rolling back the toxic Democrat agenda, do you get what the Tea Party movement is really about, and if so, what will be your very first agenda item to defund and declaw ObamaCare? "

Little did we know that he'd answer us (and Sen Reid, et al) so unequivocally:
"Senators Reid, Durbin, Schumer, Murray and Stabenow:

Thank you for reminding us – and the American people – of the backroom deal that you struck behind closed doors with ‘Big Pharma,’ resulting in bigger profits for the drug companies, and higher prescription drug costs for 33 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D, at a cost to the taxpayers of $42.6 billion.

The House is going to pass legislation to repeal that now. You’re welcome."
Nice.
