House Speaker John Boehner issued a brief statement on Thursday following reports of a downed Malaysia Airlines jet in eastern Ukraine near the Russian border.

“Many innocents were killed today. It is horrifying, and we await the facts. Right now, we should all take a moment to reflect, count our blessings, and convey our prayers to the loved ones of the victims,” the Ohio Republican said.

  2. Why oh why did Obama let this happen??

  3. Who was the guy on the phone with MSNBC who told the reporter she was a “dumbass?”

    Edit: OK, the reporter said he was supposed to be at the scene of the crash but wasn’t. That was weird.

  4. Not as horrifying as the job you are doing as Speaker of the House!!!
