It’s tough raising dough out there for God’s Own Party. It’s time to break out the very tiny violin for John Boehner’s posteriors of death.
House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) challenged Republicans on Tuesday to get off their “dead asses” and start raising money for the National Republican Congressional Committee.And the Republican leader wasn’t the only lawmaker berating his GOP colleagues to raise more money for the committee’s March 12 fundraising dinner: According to sources in the room, NRCC Chairman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also used a closed-door session at the Capitol Hill Club on Tuesday to challenge Republicans to raise more campaign cash.
The normally upbeat Cole told Republicans that if they don’t start raising more money for the committee, they should get used to life in the minority.
…The party has struggled to emerge from its devastating losses in 2006 as senior members head for the exits and traditional donors buck the GOP in favor of the new Democratic majority.

He only WISHES the asses were dead - last I checked, there is still a hotly contested two-way ass race for the Democratic nomination.
They need to get their trunks in gear.

Hey! I’m a grumpy old pervert, and I object to being associated with Republicans!
I remember a few months ago he was complaining about how horrible it was that not only did he lose his majority leader position to the Dems, but his brand of cigaretts was discontinued and his dry cleaner turned some of his shirts gray and broke one of the buttons. Oh noez!!!11!!! The horrorzz!!!11!!
Fortunately, the editorials for the Plain Dealer a few days later were from people responding with real problems, like one was laid off in his late 40s and was then basically unhireable because of ageism.
Boner is scared the business class that long has supported his brand of neo-facism will find itself out of funds. The cretins donating money have either been outsourced or have finally hit the end of their credit.
They should get off their asses and start governing, rather than focusing on childish tantrums any time a Bush regime official gets in trouble.
