He's our Craziest Republican of the Day for saying this:
I'm still trying to find the first American to talk to who's in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or the administration... I've not talked to one and I get to a lot of places... This is about as unpopular as a garlic milkshake.
Of course, polls show solid support for a public option -- remember, it would be an option, not a nationalized health-care system, and it's choice that people want.
But, really, Boner hasn't met a single person beyond the Beltway who supports it? I get that political speech is often hyperbolic, but this is either an out-and-out lie or a statement only a totally ignorant fool could make.
He's the Republican leader in the House, for fuck's sake. Someone needs to introduce him to reality, though I suspect that he's surrounded by a similarly delusional, and similarly dishonest, echo chamber of head-bobbing insanity.
