Boehner Stepping Down at End of October

http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallp...eaker-race-throwing-gop-leadership-into-chaos

Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., said the meeting opened, Republicans said the Pledge and then McCarthy stood up and took himself out of the race. The prohibitive favorite said he didn't want members to take arrows for voting for him and that he was taking himself out of contention.

Speaker Boehner then immediately moved to adjourn the meeting. Rooney said there was "total shock" and some members were audibly crying.

Haha. I was going to add the crying part. There was probably crying in sadness and joy.
 
Cancelled on Fallon tonight.
 
Yeah, isn't the Speaker of the House traditionally a member of the House?

rumors that McCarthy and Renee Elmers were more than just friends.

Multiple sources within Bakersfield, North Carolina, & on Capitol Hill tell Gotnews.com that Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Renee Ellmers (R-NC) have been carrying on a long-running affair since 2011.

The affair is something of an open secret in Washington, D.C. Reporters at other publications, lobbyists, congressional staffers of both parties all know about it. One staffer for a congressman describes it as the “biggest open secret” in D.C. A lobbyist describes Ellmers as a “social climber who has ingratiated herself” with McCarthy.

House leadership also knows about the affair. Speaker John Boehner reportedly told McCarthy to stop the affair once McCarthy was elected Majority Leader says a well placed congressional staffer. At least one leadership staffer doesn’t think the affair ended. “They are unusually close,” says the staffer who insists that the affair is going on. “It’s weird if he’s not fucking her.”
 
“It’s weird if he’s not fucking her.”

Okay, fine, but we've been led to believe by the Tea Party folks that Republicans like Romney are problem, not a potential solution to anything.

Most of them have signed a pledge to Grover Norquist. Maybe he'd be interested in the position.

More fun! I was actually going to suggest Ellmers throw her name into the hat.
