Boehner is lying to someone to obtain that one week reprieve on DHS funding. Nancy Pelosi says that Boehner promised to bring a clean DHS funding bill up for a vote this week in exchange for her help last week. Boehner and his motley crew say, "NO WAY!" So who is going to be the goat this week?
I can't imagine that Pelosi would obtain Democratic votes for this stupid one week extension for the DHS unless there was some kind of promise made by Boehner. To say to the Democrats, "Let's all go and help out Boehner" for nothing seems pointless or way to Machiavellian. It seems too complex to help Boehner then lie about a non-existent deal to get him in trouble with his crazy caucus.
So the most likely scenario is Boehner lied to either Pelosi or his caucus. Given how craven Boehner is with the crazy caucus, I'd bet that he lied to Pelosi and the other Democrats. It fits Boehner's pattern of immediate survival strategies. And he probably also figures that Democrats can't touch him because they are in the minority, so fuck 'em!
If he doesn't bring a clean bill up for a vote, the Democrats should NOT bail Boehner out again.
