Wouldn't he love it, with his planet-size ego, to take boner's place as Speaker of the House! You know he would! I'll bet he's doing it selectively and he has a bunch of his staffers and operatives and this little weasel who went on Martin Bashir's show spreading those rumors too.

SCHMUCK!!! I smell a rat. Although I smell a rat anytime someone with an "r" by his/her name comes into my field of vision or within earshot. It's basically because that's what they ARE. Fitting that they have "r" by their name. "R" in this case stands for RAT.
