John Boehner says government shutdown was 'a very predictable disaster'

House Speaker John Boehner dealt the right wing of his party a chiding Thursday, calling last year’s government shutdown “a very predictable disaster” he urged his GOP colleagues to avoid.

The Ohio Republican’s appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” laid bare the rifts within the Republican Party. Asked by Leno whether the Republican infighting was the worst he’s ever seen, Boehner disagreed, then changed his mind.
