No WAY can Issa be even near the presidency. That possibility scares the hell out of me!

that's all I've got. Except for this

As a federal employee looking down the barrel of another shutdown in December (JUST in time for Christmas!), may I just say, Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Thank you,

You know the GOP has gone off the deep end if they even consider giving this job to this shyster. Talk about wasting taxpayer $$ now, just wait if this moron gets the office. Sheesh...

It isn't as though the rest of the GOP is a bastion of morality.

behavior would complete the destruction of Tea Party in the House -- there would be chaos. Six years ago, most of us saw this coming. We warned the mainstream Republicans, but they enjoyed the Tea Party antics directed against Democrats too much to act in their own best interest. Now, there's only time for non-Tea Party Republicans to make a final stand and act responsibly. Make a coalition with the House Democrats and move forward with the Nation's business.

Boehner covered for a lot of asshattery with his passive aggressive crying. I think America deserves to see the repulsive behavior of the Republicans front and center by having one of its most dickish members front and center.

dropped out of the race for Governor. He was my Congressman then.

Whatever that means????

more of the same... endlessly beating dead horses and trying to shuffle information around to prove a point.

Go for it

about as much by his fellow wingnuts as he is by us!1

He's implicitly suggesting that, in light of their inability to analyze the situation and come to a sensible conclusion, they should instead just go random. Everybody who wants to be Speaker writes his or her name on a piece of paper and drops the paper into a hat. Somebody with no stake in the matter (Boehner would be an obvious choice) mooshes the papers around to mix them up, then pulls one out.

Scoff if you will, but it would probably be an improvement over what's actually going on.

He'll be way ahead of the game
