Republican House Speaker John Boehner didn’t seem to care for President Obama’s State of the Union address tonight…
The Speaker “managed not to rise even for a shout-out to ‘wounded warriors,’ or 102-year-old Desiline Victor, who waited seven hours to vote in Miami on Election Day,” notes Joan Walsh in “The night John Boehner just sat there”.
But the biggest boner of the night came during Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) official Republican Response. The junior Senator and 2016 hopeful was apparently demonstrating the need for action on climate change, by personally re-enacting the nation’s worst drought in fifty years. It all eventually led to what has now become known as the “gulp heard round the world”…
Don’t worry, Marco. Nobody noticed. Except for everybody. And, of course, Deadspin, who has the entire moment in excruciating extreme slo-mo. 🙂

In addition to his dry mouth, flop sweat, nose-hair tickling, entitlement exceptionalism, and glaring hypocrisy, I’m surprised this ghoulishly smiling jerk didn’t turn his back and relieve himself in a piss bucket, too.
Boehner has been taking “I’m not impressed” lessons from Olympian Makayla Maroney.
Boehner looked like he had heartburn the entire time. Or was sucking on a lemon…..
