John Boehner Resigns as Speaker For Life of U.S. House of Representatives

Oh wait, he wasn't "Speaker For Life." I must have gotten that misimpression from the way the bourgeois media blabberariat have been carrying on all day about it. You'd think it was actually a momentous event that signaled a political change. Which it does not.

Who gives a damn if one reactionary politician is replaced by another one? That's all that's happening here. All this garbage about "ultra-conservatives" (NPR's euphemism for extreme reactionaries) "pressuring" him is insignificant. There aren't enough of them to vote him out anyway.

This awful corrupt extremist, a lifelong enemy of women (he opposes their right to terminate pregnancies, insisting instead that the government should control their bodies), who spent 30 years in the House, can now get rich(er) and play golf.

Oh, and he's a crybaby too. All it takes is the sight of an American flag or a little girl holding a freshly-baked apple pie, and he turns on the waterworks. But he got a pass on that. If he'd been considered a leftist, you can bet there would have been an endless campaign of media ridicule about his crying. (Sure, it's fine for men to "show emotion." But don't cry unless there's something to cry about, you maudlin jerk!)

And just for the record, "Boehner" should be pronounced "boner." It's not "Baynor." Baynor is pronounced baynor.

 There there, Johnny-Boy, dry your tears.....Feel better now? (Ya Big Crybaby!)
