John Boehner has no one to blame but himself.

Nobody forced him to make a blood oath to keep the "Hastert rule". In other words, if less than 218 Republicans do not vote for anything, he will not bring it to the floor for a vote. Even if 217 Republicans get one Democrat to go along with them, he still will not bring it up for a vote. How insane is that!

Now he has his carp ass in a tangle. He is being led around by the nose by a few extremists in his Party and is threatening to shut down the US Government. If the Speaker of the House could be impeached, he would be a prime candidate.

If he had even one ounce of integrity, he would resign tomorrow and go back to Ohio. He is a scourge upon the People's House. He is a disgrace to the idea of governance. And I am being kind to him...
