John Boehner Elected To Third Term As Speaker
The speaker’s adversaries need to turn 30 Republicans against Boehner to prevent him from winning a majority on the first vote to lead the 114th Congress. They got 25, 24 no votes and and one simply voting present…
The inability of Boehner’s conservative opponents to unite behind a single candidate contributed to the Ohio Republican’s re-election. Boehner faced challenges from Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Ted Yoho and Daniel Webster of Florida. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was the choice of Democrats, but had no chance of becoming speaker since her party only has 188 House seats compared to the GOP’s 246. Most importantly, Boehner benefited by having the largest GOP majority of his tenure, meaning he could weather defections while retaining his speakership, the Washington Post noted.

Cries if he stays, cries if he was let go. (That goes for both Boehner AND all Americans.)

Dammit! I HATE it when a comedy show has an opportunity to improve itself by hiring funnier actors, but then the network turns them down…

I know! I am a tad disappointed Gohmert didn’t make the cut. it would be a comedian and bloggers dream.

Doesn’t matter. 10 feet or 100 feet, it’s all over your head. Been in a nightmare since 2000.

I’ve noticed he has a new paint job for his third term. Gavel Brown I believe it is. Let’s see if it gets darker and he tries to pass himself off as black and claim to be the father of the ACA before he retires.
