So apparently house speaker John Boehner told senator Harry Reid to do something that was anatomically impossible sold him to go how can I say -- delicately.

Rhymes with talk himself.

He sets up twice spots confirming it happened last Friday at the White House to steps from the Oval Office that I -- these -- negotiations got tense I didn't realize this -- Now neither Boehner nor read are talking much about it although Politico reports that -- it was actually boasting their house colleagues about it.

So for what it's worth I think it's true and by the way for what it's worth I think it's entirely justified.

Particularly coming as it reportedly did -- us today after Reid accused -- Behind his back.

Of running a dictatorship in the house but he was more concerned about hanging onto his job and striking a deal.

Now leaving aside data clearly risked his job by doing so the very thing that his own troops would call an anathema to any deal hiking taxes.

And that he might have all but sealed his doom agreeing to those higher taxes without so much as a token gesture in spending cuts in return from Harry Reid.

It back to deal ultimately agreed to has 41 times more tax -- than spending cuts not one.

To one or two to one or three to one or -- to a one.

41 to one.

So I can well understand the speaker speaking the way he did -- a guy who wasn't remotely doing what he said.

My guys it is a wonder to be Boehner didn't drop the F -- -- the irony here is that Boehner could lose his job trying to make a deal.

And Harry Reid will likely keep his job offered the same all the no bay and Arizona border for being blunt in telling the other guy to his face when he.

But reads an Angel for being a phony and referring to -- the other guy -- behind his back.

This isn't about a speaker losing -- my friends this little exchange is more about a phony to warn that tries to hide it.

What is weird is that folks like Boehner and Eric Cantor.

On the -- no less than today's New York Daily News for having serious issues with a rescue bill for sandy victims.

Because it wasn't going to just sandy victims but Democrats happy to sign -- sixty billion dollar blank check.

Our saints -- that same -- -- happy to tap that.

To repair things like Smithsonian museum growths and plant trees in Ohio -- -- sold millions.

For items that had nothing to do with sandy.

So not exactly -- it is a wonder Boehner didn't curse more it is even more trouble wonder why the media didn't which he did.

That's not there that's not right that is wrong.

-- -- ever kill us to get the other side of the story.

Would we ever try.
