Boehner press secretary Brendan Buck was, shall we say, less than amused by John Podesta’s sickening comparison of the GOP to the Jonestown cult.
WTF –> John Podesta: "a cult worthy of Jonestown [is] in charge of one of the houses of Congress.” http://t.co/PDYbyYz0T5

I will be very interested to see how the White House responds to Mr. Podesta's comments.

The White House has yet to respond, but Podesta himself tweeted an apology:
In an old interview, my snark got in front of my judgment. I apologize to Speaker Boehner, whom I have always respected.

Awww … so all is forgiven now? Nice try, buddy.
You are not a nice person. So there! @johnpodesta

@johnpodesta You only apologize to Speaker Boehner and not the rest of the GOP? Your comment was offensive and a tweet will not end it.
