In an interview scheduled to air on ABC’s ‘This Week’, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) compared his sometimes unruly GOP caucus to “218 frogs in a wheelbarrow,” the number of votes needed to pass a bill in the House.
“I’ve never been shy about leading,” Boehner said. “But you know, leaders need followers. And we’ve got 89 brand new members. We’ve got a pretty disparate caucus. It’s hard to keep 218 frogs in a wheelbarrow long enough to get a bill passed.”
