Sources close to the White House say that they would have
a debt deal today if it weren’t for the obstinate stand by John Boehner in
refusing to allow even the most reasonable plan to come up for vote in the
House.
No one in their right mind would let the country fall
over the fiscal cliff, especially since both sides are pretty close to a deal, but
it seems that may be just what Boehner is intending.
“And that,” says one physician who has been treating
Boehner for other small ailments, “may be because John is suffering from what
we call in the medical industry a ‘walking nervous breakdown.”
Dr. Henry Jefferson, who takes care of Boehner in
Washington, explained that just like people can walk around with pneumonia and
not know it, i.e. walking pneumonia, there are many people walking around with
mental breakdowns and aren’t aware anything is seriously wrong with them.
“They appear to act normally, but small signs to the
trained physician eye can give them away. A small eye twitch, a bit more slur
in the speech pattern, an obstinate unwillingness to compromise, these are all
signs of walking nervous breakdown.
Asked if gone untreated, it would develop into a full
blown neurosis, the doctor said that it was difficult to say. He did comment on
the fact that he hadn’t seen Boehner cry in a while and that is always a good
sign, but that if things kept going the way they are, it wouldn’t be long
before he’d be back blubbering like a baby again.
“All I can tell you is that I’ve advised Mr. Boehner that
he should seriously consider getting this debt thing wrapped up as soon as
possible, regardless of whether or not he pleases everyone in his bunch,
because if he doesn’t, it very well could lead to a complete nervous
breakdown.”

… It’s your turn to say something.
