John Boehner just wants Dems to do his job for him

Is that too much to ask? Our hapless sad sack Speaker of the House, John Boehner has a new lament published today, disguised as a WaPo op-ed. Don't bother reading it, he doesn't say anything new.

The shorter is always the same: If only President Obama and the Democrats would destroy the social safety net so the GOPers could pretend it's not their heart's desire and run against them on it in future elections, then for sure Mr. Boehner get his crackpot cons to follow him in bringing up the rear to pass a grand bargain, as long it doesn't include requiring the ultra-wealthy to pay one extra dime in taxes.

No one in BigMedia will say this is batshit crazy but they will be happy to tell you at great length how horrified everyone in the Beltway bubble is about those cancelled White House tours.
