"Boehner did a good job on the selections."

We can bet our bippies that it was chairman TREY GOWDY doing the selecting for the committee with Boehner allowed to take the credit.

Sheesh, anyone can tell from the surprisingly conservative list that Boehner certainly didn't get to pick the GOP-establishment dorks he undoubtedly wanted.

Maybe they let him pick one name on the list and then told him to sit down and shut up.

I agree...Boehner probably asked Gowdy for suggestions and it just happened that Boehner agreed. Very tactful. :)

I'd still feel a lot better if some card-carrying, board-certified conservatives like Tom McClintock and Darrel Issa (both of Callyfoahnyuh) were on it .... and some Texas conservatives who know the Tea Party people who've been getting roughed up by the IRS, guys like Ted Poe (a former federal judge) f'rinstance.

Truth in advocacy, Ted Poe is my congresscritter -- and savior, after Texas state representatives redistricted me into Ted's district and out of Sheila Jackson Lee's. My congressional IQ shot up 140 points in one bound.
