Boehner resigns

[Oathkeeper1775]

Careful... Thomas Jefferson was 299.80 (Asperger's) and he might have been a DQ if you insist on a "no diagnosable pathology" benchmark. So would all of us, because a pshrink really trying can put a DX on *anyone*.

Full disclosure: 299.80 myself--but I would generally agree with the idea that our elected officials should have an eligibility requirement of being required to take the same psych eval as the officers entrusted with our nuclear arsenal and publicly post the results, ditto for Executive appointees.

We all have some type of imperfection in us; we all cannot be Speaker of the House.

Boehner ain't no Jefferson, Jefferson was never a Speaker of the house (to the best of my knowledge), this is 2015, and I will stand by my position, thank you.

A mal-formed b cluster (debilitating addiction and a tendency to cry) should be a disqualifier for the position of Speaker of the House. Ten minutes into a meeting, he was thinking about his next cig, not the country...c'mon.

Not sure you understand how government is supposed to work. Even if you disagree with people it doesnt mean you that you throw tantrums and pull the fire escaped to get your way.

You mean like your hero planning to veto the budget if he can't get his way?

Ted Cruz is the creepiest politician to ever be on the main stage. SP was dumber but not more evil. Calling out TC just puts you at the child's table.

Wrong, that would be your parties #2 man.......Creepy Uncle Joe.

I like this summation:
"John Boehner was and is an unprincipled ward-heeler who simply couldn't weather the transition of the Republican Party from a corporatist party with a sizable conservative base to a purely conservative party. Boehner came to power when the priorities of the House Republican caucus were driven by what was effectively straight-up bribery, and his power came from <broken link removed> This is the guy, as we all ought to be regularly reminded, who passed out checks from tobacco companies on the floor of the House."

Not sure about the rest of you, but I wept openly upon hearing this news . Another RINO gone... may this be the start of a cleansing so desperately needed.

Hope he lives to be 100 and the rest of his years in bed with care givers taking care of him.

I was hoping he'd seek to regain his lost honor via traditional Ritual Seppuku, myself.
