If you mean his district, then I guess there are too many nutty assholes that like Sir John of Orange values (none) and policies (funnel all resources to the wealthy).

Rep. Boehner's a neo-con douchebag, but as for as SotH goes he's far from the worst case scenario. Just look at some of the other freaks they have running around in there (Gohmert, Bachmann, Cantor, e.g.)

The only legal solution I can think of is taking the house out of GOP control. That requires electoral victories in carefully-gerrymandered districts. Maybe we can get there by 2030?

He can't control his emotions because he is fried on alcohol. I can't believe they would put someone like him in such a position of power. How many times has he been on the podium legally drunk (.08). That's only 3 or 4 stiff drinks which is nothing to a pro. Just starting to feel normal and can talk without stuttering from the withdrawals. How many times has he been on the podium hung over as hell. And they want to drug test all welfare recipients. ALCOHOL IS A FUCKING DRUG BONER. And who is a bigger welfare recipient than our politicians?
