House Speaker John Boehner called in to The Laura Ingraham Show today to discuss — surprise — the ongoing debt discussions. Oh, and his “tough talk” towards his fellow Republicans.

Is it true, host Laura Ingraham wanted to know, that he told certain Republicans that they had better “get their asses in line” behind his debt ceiling bill?

“I sure did!” Boehner confirmed.

    I hope people listen to this very carefully.  Laura Ingraham is rude.  John Boehner is rude.  Both are disresptful to the office of president.  They call themselves patriots?    These are the type White people who have caused division in this nation.  They are dangerous.  This recording should be shared from state to state.

    Boehner returns Laura Ingraham’s call but not the president’s…and Laura jokes about it?  This makes my blood boil.
