Cafferty nails Boehner on his "reformer" claims

Ahhhh, the sweet nectar of informed comment. And I'm not talking about Wolf Blitzer's clueless patter. Watching the media agree that replacing Tom DeLay with Ohio Rep. John Boehner was a bold move for justice was like watching them say that voting Fredo Corleone in to replace the Godfather shows a committment to honesty.

Crusty newsman Jack Cafferty isn't having any of it, and Crooks & Liars has the video. What Cafferty is referencing is the revelation that Boehner gets a pretty sweet deal renting his apartment from a lobbyist.

Wolf: You did hear Ed Henry say that it is a basement apartment which is not necessarily all that desirable---

Cafferty: Yea...and pigs fly upside down and the moon is made of green cheese and there's no quid pro quo from a lobbyist who is also your landlord. Do I look like I just fell out of the back of a vegetable truck to you?

Wolf: No, you look like Jack Cafferty...

Good one, Wolf. You ninny.
