Boehner: We are The Heroic Transformers, protecting Medicare

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

That’s right, Boehner and his homies are the Superhero Transformers – not the enemies of Medicare or Social Security. You may remember the plastic bad guys/good guys who could morph into man or machine, and were untouchable by any enemy. How can they have transformed into the protectors of Social Security and Medicare, when their stated goal was to privatize them?

The secret to their seeming change of heart lies in the spin. Their attempts to stay one step ahead of words which describe their actual intent are dizzying enough to be mistaken as bed spins. I trust they have their fingers crossed and one foot safely anchored on the floor.
