Gowdy is a standout and a star.
I wish he would run against Boehner.
Gowdy, is a Boehner suck-up. He will not question the actions of Boehner, Cantor or McCarthy. I heard him interviewed (I believe it was on Laura Ingraham show) where he said that they are in a tough position since they have to cobble together majorities just to get things done.
Since then, I have looked at him with a jaundiced eye. (No, my liver is not inflamed.)
