Burnt Orange Julius

If these supposed excerpts from Matt Taibbi's upcoming Rolling Stone interview with GOP House Speaker John Boehner are typical, then he's in a lot of trouble.  Orange Julius unloads on the middle class, unions, college kids, the works.  And his complete disgust for anyone who isn't like him is so evident, the only thing really shocking is that he forgot he wasn't off the record with Matt Taibbi.

Boehner: "Can't pay your student loan? Face it your parents were lazy and you couldn't afford college. The world needs ditch diggers and you were born into a family of them. Can't pay your mortgage? Your house was too expensive and you couldn't afford it. Your taxes going up too much? That's what you get for electing a democrat president. Never had a job after you got a degree? You learned nothing in school and you're lazy. I didn't get to be a congressman by watching jersey shore or playing xbox. You think there's no jobs for you? There used to be. There was when I was your age. You don't have fee time because you have to work all days of the week for 16 hours a day and you don't get paid hourly? Thank the unions. They made decent jobs so out of price range of the average American company that they can't hire anymore people and the works' gotta get done. These unions... I tell you they won't be happy till no one in America has a job. And health care? Don't get me started on health care- doctors study their entire lives and they barely make enough to live and yet Obama, who had his entire life handed to him on a silver plate wants to cut their pay. You know that's gonna do? Increase costs- the average persons going to have to work even harder just to see a doctor. "

Taibbi: "With mounting unemployment what do you think is the possibility that we'll see an Egyptian style uprising of the youth? Should we be worried?"
Boehner: "It's not going to happen in the US. The kids here are too fat, too lazy, to addicted to TV, fast food, cheap credit, and facebook. I have news for you- there are plenty of jobs out there- the unemployed don't want them. Today's college student feels entitled to make at least $24 right after college. When they find out they can collect unemployment they would rather do that. You know the average college educated unemployed person is collecting $60k a year? The CATO institute did a study- and I mean, you and me we're hard workers we could just sit around and live, but these kids today- that's all they've been doing their entire lives. I'm not worried for this country- there are a few of them who actually want to work, take Mark Zucker(sic). You don't build a site like facebook out of thin air- it takes talent and hard work. I went to a community college and all I saw were people sitting in front of computers typing away, their eyes were fixed. Probably just facebooking away."

Taibbi has said he'll publish Boehner's full interview in the June edition of Rolling Stone which will feature actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

Now, I'm not 100% sure about if these are Boehner's words or not until the interview is published, but if they are, he's screwed.  And believe me when I say this is absolutely what every Republican lawmaker, national, state and local (and more than a few Democrats) thinks of anyone under 40 who isn't working for Wall Street.  They think you are a fat, stupid, lazy cancer on this great country of theirs, and they want to be rid of you.

The unvarnished truth of John Boehner's worldview is a terrible thing.
