Talking Points Memo has the article Harry Reid: ‘Speaker Boehner Has A Credibility Problem’.

If you have ever wanted a diplomatic way of calling someone a liar, then this is one possibility.

Further into the article it discusses Chuck Schumer’s challenge with respect to presenting a clean continuing resolution to the floor of the House of Representatives for an up or down vote.

Despite reports to the contrary, Boehner was adamant on Sunday that such a bill could not pass the lower chamber. In response, Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and White House spokesman Jay Carney challenged Boehner to prove his claim and bring the legislation to a vote.

Perhaps Speaker Boner just wants to be pushed into doing what he claims he does not want to do so that he won’t be blamed for doing it by the Tea Party.  Is tea a euphemism for something else that we usually think of for being smoked?
