When no one else would, Boehner acted years ago to hold liberal Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) accountable for leaking the contents of an illegally-recorded conversation among House leaders. Boehner’s action was taken at great expense to his own self-interest – and his re-election fund, which with FEC approval has financed a lawsuit against McDermott that continues to this day.

Wow.... I'm very impressed!

You're easily impressed!

McDermott continues to hold his seat with impunity as 7th district Representative from Washington state, and the weak-kneed Repubs (perhaps including Boehner, perhaps not) fail to follow through on actions to either censure Jim McDermott or expel him from the House outright. McDermott's not too worried about either consequence happening to him under the Republican majority Congress.
