" John Boehner, the orange, cloud-like creature who nominally presides over the cracker factory that is the Republican caucus in the House Of Representatives, has announced that he&amp;#039;ll have the president&amp;#039;s back on a congressional vote to authorize the making of war in Syria. &amp;quot;This is something that the United States as a country needs to do,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to support the president&amp;#039;s call for action. I believe my colleagues should support this call for action. We have enemies around the world that need to understand that we&amp;#039;re not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We also have allies around the world and allies in the region who also need to know that America will be there and stand up whether it is necessary.&amp;quot;  OK, that&amp;#039;s one vote. And Eric (Cassius) Cantor apparently makes two. Are they actually going to wrangle their caucus? Boehner can&amp;#039;t, and Cantor won&amp;#039;t, unless he&amp;#039;s stopped being the ambitious little ferret he&amp;#039;s always been. Here are some other counties heard from. &amp;quot;I appreciate the President&amp;#039;s briefing today at the White House and would encourage him to continue updating the American people,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;While we are learning more about his plans, Congress and our constituents would all benefit from knowing more about what it is he thinks needs to be done-and can be accomplished-in Syria and the region.&amp;quot; Especially the region in and around Louisville, which I&amp;#039;m going to need to re-elect my withered hindquarters.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not there yet,&amp;quot; McCarthy told Bakersfield television station KGET after meeting with members of Congress and administration officials on the subject. &amp;quot;I thought today&amp;#039;s meeting was very productive. But I still have some concerns and questions that I need answered.&amp;quot; Like, &amp;quot;How in the hell&amp;#039;d you dare get re-elected anyway?&amp;quot; Shortly after Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced his support Tuesday for intervention in Syria, ultraconservative Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) invoked Benghazi to argue that President Obama can&amp;#039;t be trusted to carry it out.  And even Senator Angry Grampy is walking if he doesn&amp;#039;t get the Great Big Boom Boom he wants. &amp;quot;I have to see the concrete action. And it&amp;#039;s not that I don&amp;#039;t trust the word of the president, it&amp;#039;s just that I need to see the concrete measures that are going to be taken,&amp;quot; McCain said on &amp;quot;CBS This Morning.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;And if we don&amp;#039;t take those concrete measures and if the resolution doesn&amp;#039;t allow it, then obviously I can&amp;#039;t support it. It&amp;#039;s almost as bad as not passing a resolution, is passing a resolution that doesn&amp;#039;t allow us to take action that reverses the situation on the battlefield so that Bashar Assad will sooner or later leave. The only way he&amp;#039;s going to leave is if he thinks he&amp;#039;s losing.&amp;quot;  John Boehner has no power. John McCain has no power. Only the Stupid has the power now. Fear the Stupid.
