Boehner re-elected to third term as House speaker
[USATODAY] Rep. John It is not pronounced 'Boner!'Boehner ... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans... was re-elected Tuesday to a third term as U.S. House speaker after facing down a conservative rebellion that sought to oust him from the office. Decisions, decisions... a Dem, a Herpe, or Boner... As of early Tuesday, 15 Republicans had been on record saying they would not vote for Boehner. During the vote, another 10 politicians joined them. But they still voted the bastard back in. So much for our opinion. In the end, Boehner was elected with 216 votes out of the 408 votes cast. Regular reader DarthVader notes that Boehner then took his revenge... Posted by: Fred 2015-01-07 |
