Boehner's Folly

Word has come today that J. Boehner, he of Speakership fame, plans a show trial of Barack Obama beginning as early as next week.  These plans are wrong-headed on two counts.  First, the complaints against Mr. Obama are not well-based.  If Mr. Obama is to be paraded before a banana republic committee for these alleged misdeeds in office, other Presidents, especially the Bushes, must be charged as well (think Contra scandal, and yellow cake).  It is also a vast distraction, as it says nothing about Mr. Obama's war-like acts in Libya and with attack missiles, to mention only two issues.

Further, Boehner's boner highlights the reasons for dismissing ever so many Republicans from office.  This panoply of plutocratic plenitude should be sent back to the board rooms* and the lodge halls* of the American boondocks.


* Apologies. No insult intended to rooms, halls, or rural America!
