If Boehner would have had the balls to shitcan the silly Hastert Rule, he would have been able to relegate the Neanderthals to the peanut gallery.

The Trumpster waylaid McCarthy?
Quote:
Donald Trump: "They're giving me a lot of credit"

"[Y]ou know Kevin McCarthy is out. You know that, right? They're giving me a lot of credit for that because I said you really need somebody very, very tough and very smart. You know smart goes with tough - not just tough. I know tough people. They're not smart, that's the worst, okay. That's the worst. You got to be smart. But, we need smart, we need tough, we need the whole package. And it's a positive." -- at a campaign event in Las Vegas
So who does the GOP have that's tough and smart?

Does this guy just get dumber every time that awful noise comes out, or is it just getting more obvious.

An entertaining read.

House Republicans should elect Mitt Romney speaker. No, really.

I heard some chatter about bringing back the original shut down king, Newt Gingivitis, for speaker.

Hmmm...I guess there's no requirement that the Speaker be a member of the House....

Wow! Thanks Don.
From Wiki, "The Constitution does not require that the Speaker be an elected House Representative, though every Speaker so far has been an elected Member of Congress."

So speaker Romney it is.
