Pile of Sh**

Boehner: Climate bill a 'pile of s--t'
When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill (H R 2454 American Clean Energy and Security Act) on the floor Friday night, John Boehner told The Hill, "Hey, people deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t."
Using his privilege as leader to speak for an unlimited time on the House floor, Boehner spent an hour reading from the 1200-plus page bill that was amended 20 hours before the lower chamber voted 219-212 to approve it.

Only eight Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the bill
Rep. Mary Bono Mack [R, CA-45] Aye
Rep. Michael Castle [R, DE-0] Aye
Rep. Mark Kirk [R, IL-10] Aye
Rep. Leonard Lance [R, NJ-7] Aye
Rep. Frank LoBiondo [R, NJ-2] Aye
Rep. John McHugh [R, NY-23] Aye
Rep. Dave Reichert [R, WA-8] Aye
Rep. Christopher Smith [R, NJ-4] Aye
