This is a class into which I have recently been inducted, largely by the migration of people into Levels of Reason that immediately reveal the absurdity of anything I should say. From my standpoint, it appears the world has been transformed into the Planet of the Aluminum Hats, probably because people finally got bored with their pseudo-military skinhead haircuts and adopted the most appropriate headgear to cover them.
To believe John Boehner is not a psychopath, there would have to be more sign of emotion from him than I saw from the Iceman who murdered roughly two hundred people as contracts for organized crime.
I really don't see it as I watch his eyes while he speaks and they don't change. Even McConnell shows a little bit of emotion with his squeaky feigned anger but Boehner is generally deadpan.
The example that struck me was in being asked whether Obama had the authority to start a war and he said he didn't have a problem with it. When asked why Congress did not do it, he said that wasn't the procedure. To start a war, the President writes a request and submits it to Congress. In effect, Boehner said he didn't get the memo. The lameness of that is obvious but the delivery is what strikes me as you'd see more emotive punch from a lizard.
In some ways that rules out psychopath or at least the more clever ones as he isn't at all charming or engaging.
And Boehner is the same guy who was going to impeach Obama for starting wars a couple of months ago. The operating principle seems to be it's only an abuse of Presidential authority when Obama starts a non-war they don't like. It's all crap, tho, as there hasn't been a war declared since WWII.
So far, the only ones who observe what happens are Ron Paul and Abby Martin ... but they're Aluminum Hat Crackpots, aren't they.
