Boehner: Blue Dogs more like 'lap dogs'

Guess no one appreciates your preening bs eh, Evan & Co?

House Republican leader John A. Boehner is more than 70 seats in the minority, but he’s rejecting help from Democrats who might be willing to throw his party occasional votes.

Boehner slammed the fiscally conservative House Blue Dog coalition in an appearance this morning at a seminar sponsored by Yale Club and Federal Policy Group, just one day after he suggested to reporters that GOP leaders had not reached out to the conservative Democrat coalition.

To chuckles from the assembled lobbyists, Boehner called the Blue Dogs “lap dogs” and said they refuse “to get off people’s laps and actually do something.”
