Okay, I'll say it: Boner acted like a stand-up guy.

[Stinky The Clown]

He did the right thing, including casting a vote himself. He also ignored the Hastert rule.

I also have to laugh. He's got no influence in his own caucus. Poor Boner.

1. The 3rd is going to be interesting when the 113th comes in.

[Ken Burch]

2. It's probably the end of his speakership...but, a good way to go.

if the young JFK were still around, he might give Boehner a chapter in "Profiles In Courage" for this.

[JohnnyRingo]

3. More like a stand-up comedian.

But I digress... It's true he stuck his neck out and may find himself as just another Ohio congressman in a month or two. Frankly, that's all he's been anyway.

4. I think there was some chemistry between him and the Prez

and he'll be at the White House often - and apparently he hit if off
with Biden too...I like him just about more than any other Rep now in office.

No influence in his own caucus is a good thing. The devil won't share his power with Boener...

5. fuck him.

[JaneyVee]

6. +Infinity

[Terra Alta]

7. I fully expect him to lose his speakership over this.

Get ready for Speaker of the House Eric Cantor.

[Honeycombe8]

9. I think you're right. nt

[Honeycombe8]

8. What Hastert rule? nt

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Hasturd: Don't bring a vote to the floor unless you have a majority of the Majority in favor.

[NotThisTime]

11. He screwed the whole thing up, the least he could do was vote for it....

[2pooped2pop]

13. yeah like telling Reid to go fuck himself,

apparently more than once. That Boner! What a stand up guy.

I hope for him what he tries to do to the poor.
