John Katko just can’t seem to contain his excitement for Speaker John Boehner and his reckless agenda. Katko was caught drooling in awe of just being in Speaker Boehner’s presence when he admitted in an interview “I remember looking over at my wife and saying, ‘This is surreal.’” Katko’s starry-eyed reverence for Speaker Boehner is just the latest proof that he is eager to rubber stamp Boehner’s reckless agenda that stacks the deck in favor of the special interests and the ultra-wealthy by shifting the burden onto hard working Central New York families.
“John Katko has gone gaga for John Boehner,” said Marc Brumer of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Katko couldn’t keep his jaw off the floor just being in the presence of Speaker Boehner. This is just the latest proof that John Katko is ready to rubber stamp Speaker Boehner’s reckless agenda that stacks the deck in favor of the special interests and the ultra-wealthy by shifting the burden onto hard working Central New York families.”
