Thank God. I hope he has a big box of tissues.
Good riddance
You think government is dysfunctional now... just wait till we get a tea party loon as Speaker.
lol loon
Is on estrogen pills?
Yet another step in the implosion of the GOP.
I laugh when Republicans talk about winning the presidency. The GOP primary is all about who will lose to the Democrat in the next election, IMO.
This disappoints me. I really liked Boehner. I would have to agree with RandomGuy that the Republicans don't know what the they're doing.
"I've read" that Boner will prevent the "defund PP or no spending" shutdown, then get the out of Dodge.
That's what we need.
Boehner to Continue Repealing Obamacare After Leaving Congress
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner announced that he would resign as Speaker and leave Congress in October, but said that he would continue repealing Obamacare from his home in Ohio.
Explaining his decision, Boehner told reporters, “A lot of the Speaker’s job is administrative, which is time-consuming and tiring. In retirement, I’ll have more time for what I really love: repealing Obamacare.”
Boehner said that he plans to begin every day with a good breakfast, some exercise, and a vote to repeal Obamacare before lunch.
“No one knows how much time one is allotted on this planet,” Boehner, striking a somber tone, said. “But if the Lord above grants me good health, I will repeal Obamacare thousands of times before my journey ends.”

Heritage Action Cheers: Boehner 'Stood In The Way' Of Conservatives
“Americans deserve a Congress that fights for opportunity for all and favoritism to none.
Too often, Speaker Boehner has stood in the way.
Today’s announcement is a sign that the voice of the American people is breaking through in Washington.
Now is the time for a principled, conservative leader to emerge.
Heritage Action will continue fighting for conservative policy solutions and we look forward to working with the new leadership team."
Heritage Action is the lobbying arm of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. The group has long criticized Boehner for his efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform andbipartisan budget legislation.

Borowitz is a stand-up comedian. His column is literally in the "Humor" section.
You're like the living infomercial for the dangers of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
I wonder how much worse the next one will be?
John Boehner's Legacy Is That He Doesn't Really Have One
The surprise is that Boehner, an insider ins utionalist leading a band of blow-it-up tea partiers, has lasted so long—that is, that he put up with the nonsense in his caucus and managed to survive.
But he survived by yielding to the extreme forces in the GOP, which he and other party leaders had fueled and exploited to win control of Congress. Consequently, Boehner will exit the speakership with few positive accomplishments.
He failed his own side by not stopping President Barack Obama on health care reform and other measures that conservatives despise, and he failed himself by not achieving any grand legislation that bears his mark. As speaker, he was more of an attendant than a legislator.
There was a specific month when Boehner's dream of being a historic speaker evaporated: July 2011. His fellow Republicans had precipitated a crisis in Washington by refusing to accede to a routine move—raising the debt ceiling so the US government could pay its bills. Tea partiers were demanding deficit reduction and huge cuts in government spending in return for lifting the debt ceiling and threatening a financial crash. This led to a flurry of talks between the president and GOP leaders, and Obama saw this crisis as an opportunity. He initiated secret negotiations with Boehner. Why did they have to be undercover? To protect Boehner. The speaker could not persuade his own caucus that talking with the president to explore compromise had any value.

I have never seen anyone here think your Borowitz Report posts are funny.
