The flaw in Boehner’s logic here – that it is not his job to comment on what those in his Party "SAY" – is one has to ask what happened to shirtless Republican Congressman Lee from New York? Speaker of the House had nothing to say about that prompt resignation you think? Or what Democrats think or what the Preisdent thinks? He can only not comment on what Republicans think?
The honest answer of course to why no Republican politician can call their idiots idiots is because the idiots are the Base of their Party, without that idiot wind blowing, the GOP gets voted out of office and back to their country clubs.
