1. Bummer

I was looking for instant gratification.

[Dr Fate]

2. That "sack of sh*T" is supporting Obama's New Freedom War, thank you very much.

And I would appreciate it if you would not insult Obama's treasured allies in such a manner.

If you want to call someone names, there are plenty of far left freaks who oppose Obama and freedom in Syria. Maybe you could start with that rat-bastard traitor, Alan Grayson.

[hobbit709]

4. Freedom in Syria?

If you believe that one, I got a bridge for you. I'll even throw in a couple of monuments.

If you're so much in favor, then why don't you sign up and go in the first wave.

[Dr Fate]

5. By attacking Boehner, you are attacking Obama by proxy. Shameful.

I wish the far left could attack people who OPPOSE Obama on Syria for a change.

[hobbit709]

6. I'm not a mindless follower of fearless leaders, no matter who they are.

You might be apparently but I gave up on that kind of devotion many years ago.

[Arkana]

41. Pretty sure he's being sarcastic, champ.

[hobbit709]

42. Then he's been sarcastic in every thread on this.

[hobbit709]

8. Here's a little quote for you.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

10. Let me join hobbit

In taking you, or your children, if you are too old...to the recruiter.

You really need to fight war personally if you believe the crap coming from DC. Otherwise you are a chickenhawk

[ladyVet]

11. Did you lose track of the sarcasm smiley?

Because I don't like what I'm thinking about you, otherwise.

[BainsBane]

19. That's what I'm wondering.

I sure hope s/he meant it sarcastically.

[Hydra]

36. Poe's law

He does it quite a bit more harshly than Manny.

[NuclearDem]

12. Sorry, far left doesn't support right wing policy.

[LiberalAndProud]

25. Sadly, tongue in cheek doesn't always translate well

over the web. It's unfortunate that the sarcasm tag is always necessary, isn't it?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. LOL!!! I'd rather see Boehner go and see the Republican Party become even more unelectable.

[KamaAina]

15. I believe the good Doctor has been holding back on these

[NutmegYankee]

17. It almost hurts the read the responses...

Knowing it's (rather obvious) satire.

[NuclearDem]

9. "Freedom in Syria"

Holy shit, massive 2002/2003 flashback there.

[BainsBane]

18. Are you serious?

I'm hoping you left the sarcasm tag off.

[Glimmer of Hope]

21. Lol...............

[DhhD]

44. What is your prediction on the length of time until Syria is free? Who do you predict will be the

new leader of Syria? and their religion? and type of government Obama is helping to install?

[lpbk2713]

3. He milked his position for all it was worth.

Apparently the teat is running dry.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Best news I heard in a long time.

I hope this means he is leaving Congress altogether, and not just stepping down from the Speakership.

[Half-Century Man]

23. I suggest to Spkr. Boehner move deep in the woods in Washington state,

grow some recreation and try for a shot on "Tattoo Nightmare" and get that weird orange thing covered.

[GP6971]

29. Good God

Don't send him here!!!!

[Half-Century Man]

33. As a condition for immigration to Washington state...

...I specified a daily dose of cannabis sativa and that he live at the edge of civilization.
He'd be kinda like a day-glow orange evil brother of Jimmy Buffett.....or something.

[GP6971]

35. LOL!!!!! n/t

[totodeinhere]

30. If the GOP retains control of the House his replacement will be just as bad if not worse. n/t

[malaise]

13. Will he also lose his seat?

That would be sweeter

[n2doc]

14. Unfortunately it sounds like he is still planning to be in Congress

Unless enough dems are elected, we will just be inflicted with a different republican roach. I am assuming Cantor or Ryan.

[Erose999]

16. Glad to see Agent Orange has followed my suggestion that he FUCK OFF. Just wish he'd do so

immediately instead of waiting until 2014.

[Aristus]

20. Now he can go back to the tavern!

[Phlem]

22. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

Carrot Monger!

-p

[Brigid]

24. Aw, man!

But he's so much fun to make fun of.

[sulphurdunn]

26. Step down?

I'd rather someone pushed him.

[npk]

27. This calls for a good "cry"

[img][/img]

[Snake Plissken]

28. He's too Liberal for the Jerry Springer Freak Show that the GOP turned into

If they manage to hold onto the house in 2014, they might have to dig up Benito Mussolini and prop him up at the pulpit.

[NewJeffCT]

37. That would make Eric Cantor

the next Speaker?

edited to add - I'm assuming that with the extreme gerrymandering that the Dems won't pick up enough seats to be a majority

[Snake Plissken]

39. Eric Cantor seriously gives me the creeps

in a Josef Mengele/Jerry Sandusky kind of way

[rustydog]

31. Boner is having a difficult time scheduling the disintegration of american politics

and his happy hours...quite a conflict.

[struggle4progress]

32. This news is sure to bring tears to some eyes

[DFW]

34. Knowing what has become of his party, the next one will be worse

Their gerrymandering practically ensures they will retain the Speaker's gavel despite the wishes of the populace that it pass to a Democratic Speaker.

So if not Bonehead, who's it gonna be? Gohmert? Steve Stockman? Steve King? It's not like they lack enough extremist nut cases to render the House useless for two years. After all, it's been pretty useless under Bonehead already.

[dawg]

40. You don't think it'll be Cantor?

I figured him for a lock.

[DFW]

43. Cantor's so obvious, I just feel he'll get overconfident and get outmanoeuvered.

Plus, he's Jewish and the Teabaggers think he's a moderate, and to them "moderate" is the same as "libbrul." Two serious strikes against him that won't be easy to overcome.

To the House Teabaggers, March 1917 has already happened at the Winter Palace, i.e. Bonehead (Kerensky) as Speaker, and they see 2014 as their chance to be the right wing Bolsheviks of October 1917. They're just looking for their own Lenin.
