Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) said Sunday that he will challenge John Boehner (R-Ohio) as Speaker in the new Congress.

“I’m putting my name out there today to be another candidate for Speaker,” Gohmert said on "Fox and Friends."
Gohmert said that after “years of broken promises, it’s time for a change.”

Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) on Saturday announced that he would not support Boehner for Speaker.

"This is not a personal attack against Mr. Boehner, however, the people desire and deserve a choice," Yoho said in a Facebook post. "In November, they resoundingly rejected the status quo."

5. And this isn't a satire???????

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this illiterate nutjob to win Boehner's job. Give the crazies what they want and let's see how it goes.

6. Looney Louie for speaker? Hmmmmm

I'd have to think about that. It would certainly be entertaining.
