Boehner is just one of many of the GOP's Benedict Arnolds.
However drunk he may usually be, he isn't stupid. He is mounting a media campaign to convince a portion of the faithful that, "By Golly he is really tough on that rascally Obama." Of course, the MSM will be helpful to him.
He will be spouting Budget nonsense. Above all, do not underestimate the enemy. His opponents (if indeed there are any) have kept remarkably silent. And as always in the GOP, there is No Program,No Plan, No Leader, to throw the bum out.
Also be advised that to throw the bum out will personally cost the 'reformers' millions, and if the coup fails they will never be heard from again or receive a cent of RNC campaign support.

Did Shakespeare say this ?

“Above all, do not underestimate the enemy.”
Indeed. But take your analysis one step further: he’s smart enough to know that he has to make a good show of it, to show that “our voices were heard.” So the vote will be carefully choreographed, and “close”, even if he has to get some of his supporters to vote against him. The media will gush about the close vote, conservatives will think they made some difference, and our beloved speaker will go back to cutting deals like nothing ever happened. Because nothing WILL have happened.
True. So, what does that tell us about the quality of our representatives, and by extension, the People? That really, our country at this time is composed of moral cowards; money grubbers selling out the future for their thirty pieces. Until that changes, we will get more of the same.
