As this drags into month six and he's dragging leadership through the halls, wrapped begging around his ankles and promising him the sun itself if he'll just please save the party, I think he might start to crack.

Seriously?!' before lapsing into continual laughter once more." I would say "insert SideshowBobLaugh.mp4" here, but he's too cool for that.

Republicans might unravel Obama's Iran deal with this one weird trick! Ben Carson shows that even presidential candidates obey Godwin's Law. EDIT: Beaten on that second link.

Boehner's staying until he dies or the GOP finds someone better. In a way, this living hell is everything that Boehner deserves. Hopefully things stay in deadlock for, oh, the next month or so.

Fortunately, there's a modern-day Cincinnatus waiting in the wings to assume the Speakership and become the Leader (Possibly) of the Civilizing Forces. Who better to manage this zoo? http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/256433-gingrich-open-to-return-to-speakership

Being crazy about gays and Muslims didn't do it, but yeah, I'm sure being crazy about guns and thinking life is like an action movie will be what causes him to lose touch with the republican base

Honestly I was hoping for a cool nomination fight that would yield some truly historic crazy poo poo but Boehner being permanently drafted into his own personal hell is good too. Man the market for republican tears is going to be absolutely glutted

There is just zero chance that Boehner didn't break down into sorrowful tears today, and in my book that's a good day for America.

I always wonder if the people who advance that argument realize how accusatory it sounds. Like "maybe if you spent less time doing business and reading the Torah and making scientific discoveries, and more time stockpiling Mausers then you wouldn't be in this pickle eh?"

There is nothing wrong with crying. Did not Fearless Achilles, tall and firm and brave, yet weep over his beloved Patroclus, and yea, even over his rival Hector? Did not David, King of Israel, he who killed Goliath, weep over his beloved Jonathan, and also over the death of Avshalom, even though rebellious, nevertheless his son?
