John Hawkins writes at Townhall: "Boehner Resigned? Good. Go Cry, Drink And Surrender Somewhere Else."

Well, Boehner's resignation is far too late for me and especially far too late for the Fast and Furious investigation that he derailed because the FBI was blackmailing him. Long-time readers will recall that when the Issa committee got around to noticing the fact, uncovered by this blog and FOX News' William La Jeunesse, that the middle men who the ATF agents were forbidden by their superiors from following (the ones who actually transported the weapons across the border) were the Miramontes brothers who were paid FBI informants, that Boehner intervened and used every bit of his influence to choke off further inquiry.

In fact, this may have played a role in Boehner's decision to resign. Caveat lector: I have only a single source for the following statement but it is a source that has proven reliable in the past. In the meeting with conservative members of his caucus the day before, Boehner insisted that he wasn't going to fight for the defunding of Planned Parenthood. The meeting then turned stormy, with promises to have a vote to "vacate the chair." Boehner, according to this source, was still defiant until someone threatened to "tell what they knew about Fast and Furious and the FBI blackmail." Boehner, according to this source, "turned ashy white under that fake tan" and "looked stricken." He got "deathly quiet" and then changed the subject. Again, this is a single source statement, and I would put it in the class of rumor except for where it came from. The reader is invited to use his or her own judgment on that. I am simply reporting what I was told by a single source that I trust

Roskam: Republicans Gather Enough Votes For Special Conference To Slow Down Speakership Election

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/27/roskam-republicans-gather-enough-votes-special-conference-slow-speakership-election/

Republicans in the House of Representatives have banded together to ensure a cooperative debate on strategy and party disagreements before House GOP conference chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA){49% Liberty Score} can try to help House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA){45% Liberty Score} take Rep. John Boehner’s (R-OH){35% Liberty Score} soon-to-be-vacated job as House Speaker, and instead force a special extended conference meeting that can now happen without McMorris Rodgers’ approval.

The debate is enabled by Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL){56% Liberty Score}, who was circulating a letter to his colleagues calling for debate on the Speakership process. At least 50 fellow GOP members have signed Roskam’s letter calling for a special conference meeting.

Thank you. On the face of it that sounds encouraging.

Never trust the GOPe. Globalist snakes den.

This is just one of the battles, war will go on for a while.

Pardon my ignorance, but the “yellowstain” in the headline, does that refer to his teeth, his fake tan or his underwear?

It's a reference from "The Caine Mutiny." "Queeg is dubbed "Old Yellowstain" by the officers following the invasion of Kwajalein. Ordered to escort low-lying landing craft to their line of departure, the Caine instead drops a yellow dye marker to mark the spot, and hastily leaves the battle area."

The naval reference was thoughtfully chosen. Per Wikipedia:

Boehner attended Cincinnati's Moeller High School and was a linebacker on the school's football team, where he was coached by future Notre Dame coach Gerry Faust.
Graduating from Moeller in 1968, when U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was at its peak, Boehner enlisted in the United States Navy but was honorably discharged after eight weeks because of a bad back. ... .

Great find!

Clearly Boehner’s principle-deficient life began early.
