CHRIS MATTHEWS: Can I ask you a question, a personal question? When will John Boehner, who I do not dislike -- I come from a background like him. It's just like, I know this guy -- when’s he going to have his Bulworth moment and just throw off the mask and say this is all nonsense?



HOWARD FINEMAN: I think that John Boehner's inner-Bulworth is countermanded by John Boehner’s survival instincts. Okay? And as David says and you point out, what he's doing here is he's doing something intermediate that he thinks will help.



MATTHEWS: Get him through the night.



FINEMAN: Get him through the night. Get him through the 2014 elections. And as far as Erick Erickson and the others who want impeachment are concerned, he'll wait on that and he’ll have that in reserve. In the meantime, this is so complex.



MATTHEWS: This is why people don't believe in politics.



FINEMAN: They could be too smart by half here, Chris. Because getting involved in this kind of litigiousness is just the kind of thing that doesn't play well with average voters. And while some might like it, a lot of middle of the road voters may not.



CORN: Listen, there is nobody who likes this. Independents don’t like lawsuits. The Tea Party people don’t like this.



MATTHEWS: Tort reform.



CORN: Maybe he's playing to 20 members of the House and that’s it.



MATTHEWS: This is the kind of Mickey Mouse that goes on in third world countries before they have a coup because people were just sick of it. Anyway, we won't have one because we are America. Howard Fineman and David Corn. You're both right.
