ZING! That was damned funny.
Not just Boehner, who kept voting for him as Speaker in the first place? My RINO rep Jim Brady TX is one of them. Boehner is a symptom of the unprinipled go along to get along spineless R’s.
So Boehner capitulated and on the other side Pelosi laughed at everyone and said “Embrace the suck”. Good riddance JB
Absolutely nothing about the people you represent you sobbing cheeto.
That is what you were sent there for.
That is what Representatives do, a$$hole.
History will ask the question why such a clearly dysfunctional, disloyal and dishonest person was permitted to stay in that pivotal role for so long.
More stories will surface, showing how often the democrats saved Boehners job for him.
Also from the article...
“He (Boehner) was indeed worse than Pelosi. She was horrible because she is who she is. Any far-left Bay Area crony-connected statist would be a terrible speaker, or majority leader, or president. There was no way for Pelosi to have a speakership that was good for the country, because none of what Pelosi and her party believes in is good for the country. Frankly, she did in fact do what her party and voters elected her to do. Boehner did not. He ignored the mandate from the voters, was cowed by the Washington culture and Obama’s skin color, too worried about his own skin color, and spent his time and energy with back-room gamesmanship against conservative junior congressmen.”
At some point in time, the outgoing Speaker became one of the elite masked-ball D.C. Devil worshipers, just doing whatever he was told by his high priest or master.
The Day all this ceases is coming rapidly, and the caves and rocks of the mountains will not hide these wicked ones in D.C. from what they have wrought on the earth and all for a pittance of temporary notoriety and mammon.
Sounds like Boehner thouht the house was a fraternity house and he was the leader. He sure partied like a fraternity boy.
Never have so few misunderstood so many and fought them at every turn - through our streets, our neighborhoods, towns and in our cities, at our borders and shores on virtually ever single issue designed to stop our lingering madness of destruction. John Boehner led the charge along with Mitch McConnell. Both of them should rot in hell.
I agree with Mr. Wright, but he missed where the real blame lies. The voters in the 8th district of Ohio. They and only they allowed Boehner to posture and preen for 25 years. At least 15 years longer than his conservatism lasted. Boehner is a walking, talking poster boy for Term Limits.
My only regret about his resignation is, the sonofabitch waited until I finally learned how to spell BOEHNER.
Damn you John Boehner.
Boehner thought – yes, really thought – this was about him. His tears [upon assuming the Speakership] were not tears of joy that President Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi had been given an historic Obamacare-big-government-hell-no rebuke. . . . that's what 2010 was . . . [and] such tears would have been appropriate.
[Instead] Boehner's tears were about his personal journey, his rise from a small town in Ohio to the number-three position of power in the entire land. It was tone-deaf and cringe-worthy, with or without the tears. I remember thinking that night, John, dude, this is not about you! But as he made clear yesterday, oh, yes it was in his mind. It was all about John, and of course "the institution we all love."
Exactly. I was thinking the same thing - we were desperate for a Ronald Reagan, and there stood John Boehner, blubbering about having reached the pinnacle of his profession.We were desperate for a Ronald Reagan, and what the GOPe delivered was an exemplar of the Peter Principle.
Bad speaker?
Worst speaker?
DRUNK SPEAKER!
I prefer Ex Speaker
At a time when America desperately needed the best, we got Cryin' Johnny "Jackass" Boehner instead, the sorriest [and most corrupt] SOB to ever hold the office of Speaker!
‘Zing’ ping ... nice article.
If not the worst, close to it.
Actually he was a good Speaker of the House, if you rate him by how effective he was at getting things done.
Unfortunately, he was getting things done for Obama and the Rat Party, not the country, and certainly not the people who put him in the Speaker position.
So I say he was a good speaker, just a man willing to sell out his country for power.
And now he tells us how he'd tried for twenty years to get a Pope to address a joint session of Congress as if that is some great accomplishment. Again about Boner and his personal journey, while he seemed oblivious to the fact that this Pope's visit and address to Congress overwhelmingly served the purposes of Obama and his agenda.
OUTSTANDING article. Thanks.
Well, let me know when he’s gone to prison. His announcement was at approximately 18 trillion 400 billion 959 million DEBT ENSLAVEMENT…(the leviathan keeps on rolling)...
house? senate? CONgre$$?
Music for the weeping cheeto…

Boehner deserves every ounce of abuse he receives but he is also a cautionary tale.
This guy was a dream candidate...looks, personality, ideology, persuasive ability, and represented one of the top 10 conservative districts in the nation.
He may not have been corrupt in the pay-to-play category (although the immigration/Chamber issue may disprove that), he simply became a creature of DC, seeking approbation from the worst human beings on the planet in terms of whacked-out ideas, cynical views on everything especially the law, and the inexorable creep of Marxism/statism.
A man who had neither the courage, the initiative, or the simple sense of duty to pass a budget in EIGHT YEARS is unfit to lead, unfit to serve and especially unfit to criticize ANYONE.
