House Dem Leaders Slam Boehner Over "Small Price" Remark
Two House Dem leaders have now added their voices to the growing criticism of John "Small Price" Boehner:
“Minority Leader John Boehner calls the cost in American lives and taxpayer dollars a ‘small price’ to pay in Iraq. The loss of American lives is never a small price."
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer:
From President Bush’s repeated use of the word strategy (5 times) while offering no new strategy, to Minority Leader Boehner’s declaration that 3,775 American dead is a “small price to pay,” Republicans once again showed Americans that they just don’t get it.

They get it, they get it... They just don't give a flying duck.

By the way, Boehner is so stupid he couldn't even pronounce the word "Tuskegee" correctly.
Have as much fun as you like with this one. The Minority Leader is an ass. If he had any self-respect (a ridiculous notion, I know), he would quit.

The reaction from other sitting Dems may not fill you with pride but Scott Harper running against non entity Judy Biggert is calling her out over this. I posted his open letter to her at TPM Cafe here:

I bet you their criticism has Boehner shaken in his shoes Over his "Small Price" Remark.
What kind of democrats have we elected to protect our democracy , freedom , jobs and social programs.
Bet when they uses the missing nuke missile on us or Iran and call marshel law the democrats will be shaken in their shoes..
Sorry, I'm not going to 'demand' that Boehner apologize. The man is such a tool and a boehnhead that an apology from him wouldn't even be worth the paper it's printed on. Better to simply use his callous idiocy against him as often as possible until he volunteers an apology....and then keep using it after that as well.
I keep hoping the Democrats will figure out how to play this game. They sure are slow to catch on.

It would be 24-7 beat down if a democrat had said it.
