Put your money where your mouth is Boehner

Today HP reported "John Boehner Claims He Doesn't Have Votes For Clean Continuing Resolution Bill". Seems to me if Boehner wants to be taken seriously he should bring it to the floor to be voted on and prove it.

He knows it isn't true so he won't.

They'll have to rush over McConnell to filibuster it (yes, I know the rules of the house).

He's already having to take Ginemas to get his recommended daily value of booze.

Then he should whip them up. That's his job after all.
Instead Boehner opts to sit there with his head up his ass.
