Ever-orange John Boehner has been making plenty of speeches lately in preparation for today’s elections and in them he’s said plenty of crap, but one line has drawn the ire of Johnny Cash’s daughter.
As Gawker points out, the line is dumb “even by stump-speech standards,” but that hasn’t stopped politicians from saying dumb shit before.
Here’s the lines:
Remember when Ronald Reagan was president? We had Bob Hope. We had Johnny Cash. Think about where we are today. We have got President Obama. But we have no hope and we have no cash.
Boom. Moving, isn’t it? Not really, we know. And dumb.
Anyway, Rosanne Cash doesn’t much appreciate John Boehner invoking her father’s name. Here’s what she tweeted:
Point to Rosanne.

Go Roseanne! Starting today, I will now be using the term “asshat” regularly!
As a 3 time decorated vet of the nam, I take exception with calling a pumpkin-pie hued fairy like Boner an asshat. The Asshats were a part of the 5th infantry special forces, with a specialty in psy ops, jungle warfare, counterinsurgent propaganda, underwater demolition and general chaos creation and control. We were a secret unit created under the MK Ultra program at Los Alamos and had unchecked power to take out a Charlie unit or whole sections of the Gook map. It they woulda left it to us, the Asshats, we would have paved the Nam and every last noncomplient Charlie bastard we saw. We coulda taken every last one of those dog-eaters srtaight down the old shit tube. DeJacamo alone was itching to take out 100,000 minimum in a mass jungle inferno. You ever see the Dirty Dozen? The Asshats make them with their drunk Lee Marvin look like a troupe of dancing faggots. Pretty much like the troupe Boner dances with.
