Boehner, when you save face, you still lose

Well, the Speaker of the House caved in and there is a deal on the 2 month tax cut extension, but Speaker, even now you lose. Every national cable news station (other than the 1 you can guess) is ripping the Speaker for his about-face and his ridiculous stance on why it happened. Oh, you're right, Speaker, it wasn't the smartest political move, but, admit it, it was the worst move you could have made. You've caved into the right-wing of the Tea Party, and when you were shown to be completely out of touch with the American people, then you caved into those people in your own party that realized how wrong you were. So, you got off your high horse and won a small battle, but you didn't win the battle, did you? The Democrats, and Senate Tea Party members, made you look like the small and petty person you are, and you gave into their compromise bill. So by winning in trying to save face, you lost the battle, and you're losing the war. Not one person from a non-Fox News station is giving you any credit for doing anything right. Saving face for you was one step forward, and you took 4 steps back at the same time.
