You guys, I hope this is true

House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid got into it on Friday. Huffington Post, Politico, and Wonkette (accompanied by the adorable angry baby below) are all reporting that several people overheard the verbal altercation in the White House lobby.[Couldn't you just die?]

The description of the verbal dispute:

With no bipartisan agreement about the debt ceiling, spending cuts and tax increases in sight, Boehner reportedly pointed at Reid and said, “Go f**k yourself.”

“What are you talking about?” Reid asked.

And Boehner again said, “Go f**k yourself.”

Inside the minds of greatness. 

They then resorted to schoolyard shoving and name calling. This is when Nancy Pelosi broke it up telling them they were scaring the women folk. Just kidding. But for real, "go fuck yourself" is the best Boehner could come up with? I've heard better cussing from third grade girls. And Reid's response...perhaps the man has gone senile, not knowing what "Go fuck yourself" means.

This occurred after Reid took to the Senate floor and claimed that Boehner could have ended the fiscal cliff by bring legislation passed by the Senate for a vote. I think this was the deal the White House suggested that cut Social Security and Medicaid. Reid also accused Boehner of playing politics and catering to members of his party rather than serving the country…You don’t say [if you could see me, which would be weird, you'd see my shifty eyes].

Reid said: “The American people I don’t think understand the House of Representatives is operating without the House of Representatives. It’s being operated by a dictatorship of the speaker, not allowing the vast majority of the House of Representatives to get what they want.”

Gauntlet thrown. You know, since the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House are all kind of useless I say death match. The White House can use Cabinet members or call in staff...maybe even former staff, I'm sure some representatives out of Chicago would love to throw a few punches at Rahm. Then the winner is the uncontested dictator. I'm eying the bi-sexual atheist out of Arizona. And I'll campaign for anyone who punches Paul Ryan in the face. 

So of course, they did reach a deal. Good Old Joe Biden rode into the rescue. You can read more about it on the Wonkbook or Train of Thought. The first link lets you know what actually happened, and the second lets you know what is going to happen now.

Behold: Angry Baby.
