Boehner Mania!!!!

John Boehner has won the post of minority leader in the House. Again, at the risk of sounding like an apostate, I don’t really have a problem with this. I found Boehner to be impressive when we spoke, and he seems like a natural leader. The fact that he mid-wifed the horrific No Child Left Behind monstrosity isn’t a mark in his favor, but the voters definitely gave the Republican Party a “come to Jesus” moment last week and I think Boehner got the message. At least I hope he did.
