I'd rather boner stay.

sentence and is ready to be paroled.

that he was resigning as speaker ...

What came up for me watching the shit show yesterday was that he knew that the hearing was going to crash and burn, and after years of trying to manage the stupid, got his resignation in ahead of it ...

Boehner is part of the reason for the mess - he never silenced the birthers and racists.
