GOP describes earth-saving bill as "pile of sh_t"

"Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a few choice words about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) landmark climate-change bill after its passage Friday.

When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, "Hey, people deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t."

Using his privilege as leader to speak for an unlimited time on the House floor, Boehner spent an hour reading from the 1200-plus page bill that was amended 20 hours before the lower chamber voted 219-212 to approve it.

Eight Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the bill; 44 House Democrats voted against it.

One Democratic aide quipped, 'What do you expect from a guy who thinks global warming is caused by cow manure?'"

Stimulation: the unintended consequences

House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio):

"You know, I'm concerned about the size of the package. And I'm concerned about some of the spending that's in there... how you can spend hundreds of millions on contraceptives.

How does that stimulate the economy?"
