Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

Tim Murphy is my rep too, he’s always been a RINO. It used to irritate me to no end how he would cut deals and vote with that pos John Murtha. At least Murtha is dead and Murphy can’t do that anymore.

Blame the voters that sent Bhoner the lesser evil reinforcements he needed.

Some of them post here. Thank them personally.

Pelosi applauds the American people who have sent us here.

Someone give her a shovel—the BS is getting a little thick.....

I've often opined over the years in here that Limbaugh strikes me as 90% avaricious blowhard.

I'll obviously never be elected Speaker of the FReep.

Clerk announces that about 100 reps will now assemble to escort the Speaker to the chair. I guess this is like the crowning of a new Emperor in Rome.

What more proof do we need that we have a Roman Senate for "representatives" under an Imperial Dictatorship with Praetorians in the media and the Alphabets?

Trying to vote that out of power is beyond insane. A fascist Oligarchy is never beholden to it's people whom they hold in contempt and scorn.

And the one dude that voted present also helped Boehner, he needed a majority of those voting for a person.

Pelosi (who needs to STFU, why is she allowed to speak first?) says lots of rats are attending the Cuomo funereal.

But where is Carter of Texas (R)? And Young of Alaska (RINO)?

Pelosi announces Dems Legislative plans.

WTF!

Why is she even speaking...Boehner was the last Speaker, so a Republican should be speaking, not her.

This is like the Dem State of the Union speech.

Get the hook!

He owes Pelosi, I imagine. If Pelosi wanted them there, she could have had them there. She released them to attend, and I would assume she got Boehner to give her something for it. She may be stupid, but the people who call the shots for her are not, and they would understand that if Boehner didn’t get the speakership, it would go to someone they wouldn’t like as much, or be able to roll so easily. So they used the excuse of the funeral to help him out. Question is, what did they get?

Are you a feminist?

Ding! Ding! Winner!

That’s why the upper limit to the number of rebels was 29, in case everyone showed up. No-shows and “present” voters just made it that much easier.

Someone like Iowa’s Rod Blum may have shown unnoticed bravery. His district isn’t particularly conservative, so he didn’t need to appear to be a rebel, and he’s too new to be in on the big show planning. Kudos to Cong. Blum!

What The F*** is Nancy Pelosi doing? Her grandstanding is SHAMELESS. This is NOT the occasion for pimping the Socialist party, Nancy!!! Get the F*** OFF the stage. It’s disgusting ENOUGH that Boehner won, let alone having to listening to B*TCH NANCY make a campaign speech.

Watching live. Was Pelosi elected Speaker? She has taken over the house. Refuses to sit down and shut up.

Pelosi mentions that today is the Day of Epiphany.

Lightning should have struck the dome.

She drones on like she has been elected Speaker.
