I hesitate to say anything, because I’m afraid we’ll end up with this asshat as Speaker anyway (assuming they can’t find someone worse), but I’m enjoying the Schadenfreude while it lasts.

When the number of votes for him reaches zero, the counter will reset and then he’ll get all of them.

One person voted for John Boehner. I really want someone to interview him about this.

I did read somewhere that a democratic congress critter was willing to vote for Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney as a compromise. It seemed like they were serious too. (Was ABC or MSNBC- they seem to be throwing stuff in front of my face on YouTube)

It’s kind of depressing that there are 200 people who would vote for Gym Jordan for anything.

I absolutely love that there was a huge applause break for Hakeem and a smaller one, but with a big grin from Captain Bowtie for John Boehner.
Didn’t hear a single clap or cheer for ol’ Jimmy though.

Sheesh. I bet the wag who submitted this write-in vote also spelled it “John Boner.”

Unlike Scalise, this asshole won’t have the good grace to stop when it’s clear he won’t ever be able to get there. I didn’t agree with Boehner on much, but calling him the primary legislative terrorist in the House is right. I’m pretty sure that if he finally feels like he won’t be able to get the gavel, he will go full destruction mode and just burn the whole House to the ground.
