House Republican Leader John A. Boehner needs to check himself into rehab.
Boehner, and an unsettling number of other Republicans on the hill, need to work on their own political recovery while America, without their constructive participation, works on its economic recovery.
Boehner can’t seem to say anything that is not cast in partisan political negativism. The latest attempt at delivering a cheap shot witticism appears in this morning’s New York Times. It attacks President Obama’s proposals to freeze spending on some federal programs.
“Given Washington Democrats’ unprecedented spending binge, this is like announcing you’re going on a diet after winning a pie-eating contest,” said Michael Steel, a spokesman for the House Republican leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio.
Note to Representative Boehner… you’re no Rush Limbaugh. You are not an entertainer paid to scintillate. You are a legislator paid to lead.
Perhaps you could find it in yourself to say something such as…
This is a start. Perhaps it is not sufficiently far-reaching, but it’s a start. Let’s work together to give this important issue the fix it really needs.
Note to Michael Steel. Read some Will Rogers or some H.L. Mencken or something to sharpen your dull wit.
You’re just not interesting, relevant, or in touch with our nation’s needs.

Well done!
This guy needs to join a 12 step program in which he takes 12 steps back from the microphone and winds up back in his office doing what the the electorate sent him to Washington to do.
Perhaps, if all of the the legislators took further advantage of their swell health plan, they could all join the program. Then, maybe they could get something done.
