The last time a Speaker was nearly ousted was back in the 1920s, I believe. The members did that because the Speaker had become too powerful and abusive. He conceded on all of the issues his membership desired after a few rounds of balloting.

But those were different times. Today it seems most of the House enjoys serving under a mentally unstable alcoholic who is in all likelihood being blackmailed by the left to do their bidding.

My applause to the 28 who dissented today. They may not have plumb assignments but have the respect of true Americans and their constituents. The rest? I have no words that would not violate the standards of decency on FR.

If I was rich I’d hire the best private investigators in the world to dig up what Obama has on boner. Sadly, all the rich guys own congress.
