It’s typical in the hallowed halls of Congress for politicians to take the rostrum and equivocate, which in parliamentary parlance is a polite way of describing down-right lying. But for House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) to appear on one of the most respected Sunday morning shows in America and double-talk answers to David Gregory’s questions on the effects of the Bush tax cuts, if nothing else, he adds to voters’ distrust of their representatives in Congress. His obvious dodging of questions and giving of partial answers may be seen by many viewers as an insult to their intelligence. Rep. John Boehner may have done more damage to the GOP than Michael Steele, when he invited blogger Andrew Breitbart to be the featured speaker at the RNC fundraiser in a few days.
What happened yesterday morning began after a segment of what former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan said on “Meet the Press” last Sunday was re-aired for Rep, Boehner. When David Gregory asked Mr. Greenspan whether or not the “Bush tax cuts” paid for themselves, he answered emphatically, “They did not.”
