2. from Bob Costa....

Rep. Peter King tells me that members are crying in cloakroom, unable to handle the unrest and confusion. "A banana republic," he says.

3. Boehner no longer appearing on Tonight Show this evening per NBC.

more crying.....

Boehner's office had announced Wednesday that he would appear on Thursday's edition of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," a highly anticipated booking given Boehner's decision to step-down as speaker at the end of this month.

Then came today's shocking news from Capitol Hill: McCarthy, the majority leader and favorite to replace Boehner, announced that he would no longer be seeking the speaker's seat, leaving the House without a clear successor
