Bye Felicia! Let's Muse on the REAL Reason Boner Resigned

[LaydeeBug]

Dead girl? Live boy? Tea Party? Tea BAGGING??? "My party's gone crazy and I have to preserve my sanity" "I need to spend more time with my family" (aside: NO ONE who says this really wants to)

I smell a scandal. A good, old fashioned political intriguey kind of scandal, and while I won't tweet about it or muse on social media, I *will* here...why do you think Boner is resigning? Who do you think will replace him?

[LeftofObama]

1. I think there is a video of him going to Mosque with President Obama.

In case it's needed.

[Blus4u]

2. Did you see this, and can you elaborate???

See kpete' spots here.

4. Oh, this is awesome. Thanks. nt

3. As much of a complete dick as Captain Bourbonator of Orange is,

I think it entirely possible that he finally had enough of the teatalitarians and theocrats.

[nolabels]

15. I thought the extreme right wing and the baggers secretly ousted him

let him finish up with the Pope's visit to make it seem all good etc.

Mostly i have observed that drunks don't go away on their own, they just seem to hang around till someone is able to push them away

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Maybe the Pope's visit was an epiphany for him

and he realized that if he continued to further the policies of the GOP he'd wind up in Hell. I think that's why he was crying.

[WinkyDink]

7. I actually don't think you are far off the mark.

[pinboy3niner]

9. Same here

He had no pending scandal exposés to fear. Just tough struggles on budget and leadership, which he'd been through before.

[Vinca]

6. I heard a former GOP member of Congress today kind of hinting at some not-so-legal

activities by Boehner over the years. My guess is he needs to go into rehab. Lately he's looked sloshed about 75% of the time.

[LaydeeBug]

8. See...that's what *I* think it is...

He got caught in something...and I bet he got a "Larry Flynt" type of deal given to him...either resign or it goes public.

[onenote]

14. Link? Or at least some context

Where did you hear this?

[Vinca]

16. I think it was an interview on MSNBC.

Why would I make this up? It was a former Congressman giving an inside look at deal making and Boehner.

[onenote]

17. I didn't say you made it up

I just wanted to get some additional information that would make it easier to search for a report on this. After all, a former member of Congress suggesting Boehner had engaged in not-so-legal activities is something you would expect to find referred to online somewhere.

[Vinca]

18. I don't know about you, but my life is too busy to research every tidbit I catch on the tube during

the day. If there's any substance to it, we'll probably find out. I also hope we find out the dirt on Chaffetz if they elect him Speaker of the House (Secret Service wouldn't hire him because of something scandalous).

10. Puke rank-n-file wants someone who won't ''compromise'' with Democrats.

As if Boehner ever did. What's Dennis Hastert doing these days?

[Holly_Hobby]

11. Hastert is busy with his attorneys...

12. Thanks, Holly Hobby!

Sweaty Denny has a lot of explaining to do.

[LaydeeBug]

13. He'll get away with it...IOKIYAR. nt
