A Fishwrap spy informs us that House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) accidentally voted for the Democratic budget this afternoon.
The spy said Boehner staffers got calls during the vote wondering why their boss was the only Republican supporting the majority party's plan, which he had derided as "the largest tax increase in U.S. history."
Boehner quickly corrected the situation and the Democratic budget passed 216-210, with the Republican proudly voting "nay."

Just proves that you don't have to have any intelligence at all to serve in government.

That's great! Do you suppose that all of those elderly folks in Florida that voted in error in 2000 could get the same type of do-over? They should have made his vote stand.
