He did the right thing, including casting a vote himself. He also ignored the Hastert rule.
I also have to laugh. He's got no influence in his own caucus. Poor Boner.

with Biden too...I like him just about more than any other Rep now in office.
No influence in his own caucus is a good thing. The devil won't share his power with Boener...
