John Boehner Likes to Sidestep

John Boehner, on Hugh Hewitt last night, tried to tell us “he did not have sex with that woma…“-- Oops!...I mean he tried to explain how his ‘benchmarks’ aren’t the first step in slow-leaking leverage to the Left to "cut-and-run".

BizzyBlog (Hat tip Instapundit, of course) nails Boehner’s ‘approach’ to the wall. Go there and read it all, including the comments!

Listening to Boehner try to explain how 'benchmarks' were a good thing was like listening to Charles Durning sing.

"Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,cut a little swathe and lead the people on."

Here’s a little something that maybe they didn't teach you in school Congressman Boehner:

Benchmarks can be tough enough to meet in a relatively predictable and stable business environment. But they are totally useless in a chaotic environment like, oh I don’t know, say maybe A FREAKIN’ WAR ! ?

We Win - They Lose. That is the ONLY benchmark we need because it is the only benchmark that works.
