It’s this pathetic need for love they’ll never get from people who loathe them that led them to this turmoil, not the uppity conservatives.

Nailed it.

Even less surprising was that some of them got their favorite useful idiot Republican, Rep. Peter King from New York, to slobber on their feet in the hope of getting a treat.

Nailed it again. Peter King is the MSM's go-to guy. ABC radio news featured about 10 seconds of King pontificating on the "troubled" process to elect a new speaker.

Over and over again I have heard Peter King make stupid comments. I also noticed how similar the NYT and other media were in their headlines, repeated use of the word "chaos" more than coincidence.

Ryan has said he doesn't want to be the speaker, and I don't want somebody in that position who doesn't even want it. Still, Rove and left Democrats praise him and wanting him to be speaker.
