Probably figured he needed to get some forgiveness from the Pope for what a horrible dunce he’s been all these years.
I heard...that the pope made him a better offer....but thats all I can say...
How do you figure this? Do you have a linky?
Also note: Boehner is the one who invited the Pope to come to America in the first place, so he delayed his retirement for 9 months just to meet the Pope.
Would that McConnell do the right thing and follow suit.
how do you know this?

I had a cousin who expressed his pride that he’d been invited to the White House. He wondered why I wasn’t upbeat about the news.
“Yeah, but it’s Clinton,” I said.
“Still, it’s the White House. It’s the President.”
“Yeah, but it had to be *this* president.”
I’d feel the same way about an audience with *this* pope.
Either that or he resigned now to give himself some time to get away from the consequences of what he wrought.
Sad thing, no matter good or bad,they all leave wealthy ay our expense..
In his televised announcement at around 1:10 this afternoon, Boehner called him “Pope Prancis”.
Still drinking on the job, I guess because Boehner likes the whiskey voice it gives him.
Maybe the Pope offered him a better job as the head wine steward at the Vatican.
Good riddance to both of them.
That’s absolutely right.
Just wow.
Boehner makes sure that Planned Butcherhood is funded for another year all the while anticipating a meeting with the Pope.
This just goes to show you the character of Boehner, and the Pope. If the Pope were really pro-life, he would have refused to entertain Boehner.
NO, he is staying so he can give Obama cover during the budget brawl next month.
I don’t believe thiz. He had the votes to get re-elected.
And you know this how ?
Guess I must have missed that news story.
Anything that Boehner says that he was planning to leave in the past is NOTHING MORE THAN A LIE. He simply realized he was on the cusp of being voted out as Speaker, so he was getting out while “the getting was good”. He’ll now make a ton of money from his K Street pals.
