What I find most interesting is what we didn’t hear about. Under Republican leadership we aren’t hearing about Cornhusker Kickbacks, and all the other nonsense payoff’s.
That...is a big change.
It was funny over the weekend that some of the presstitutes were whining about this. They were complaining that before (they didn't quite say "good old days" but they might as well have) the Speaker could have taken some of the opponents in his own party and given them some bridges or federal offices to flip their votes. All of these Tea Partiers were too ideological (not idealistic, the word I would have used) to be convinced that way so the Speaker's job was much harder.
