The first rat to abandon the ship.

Boehner gets out while the getting is good.
It wouldn't surprise me if he runs for President .......... as a Democrat.

That's total rat defamation....

thanks, Pud, for showing exactly how dysfunctional the GOP and right in general is.

[Pudfark]

You're welcome....same applies to Pelosi....good riddance to both.
Now just add McConnell to the stir....and we can throw down a hoedown....

[callmeslick]

the tricky part is around WHO you replace them with. Saw that fellow from the Benghazi committee who just declared to be Speaker. Wolf Blitzer, fercryinoutloud, was tying him up in knots. Likewise, in the Senate. It makes a lot of difference WHO they replace McConnell with, although I will be glad to see him go if he does. Pelosi can be replaced, but if you start looking at the seniority list, I'm thinking you wouldn't be thrilled with any of the folks in line for the job.

[Pudfark]

That's true in a sense...
Seniority cannot be the only qualifier, not for your party and certainly not for the Repubes, now.
ATM, in my honest defense.....I'm on the fence...no rush to judgement from me, on this....
