Is He Blushing?

There was John Boehner on Meet the Press, all orange with rage or tanning salon, saying, "It's time for the American people to have an adult conversation about the problems that we face."

Wow.  I felt so... chastised.  Like, "Go to your room, American people, and don't come out until you can have an adult conversation about the problems that we face."
Because, after all, we the American people have had it too easy for too long.

We've been staying out too late working, no, not just one job but we go and have two jobs and leave our kids in front of the t.v.  Unless we don't have a job, which is just being lazy, because we want to live off those big unemployment bucks. 

And we eat all that junk food, instead of making the grown-up decisions, like fresh veggies or gas in the car.  And not going to the doctor just because we don't have health care, and even if we did have health care we wouldn't want to spend money on that boring deductible and those dumb co-pays.

And not getting enough exercise, either, standing around all day behind that counter at Wal-Mart, when we should be...
...out on the golf course with John Boehner.

And no, he's not blushing.  The man doesn't know enough to be ashamed.
