But Dear Mr. Boehner, what is this "Republican sanity" of which you speak? When did it reign?

But Dear Mr. Boehner, what is this “Republican sanity” of which you speak? When did it reign? Not on your watch. You invited in the crazies and gave them a big bear-hug. You validated their fears and conspiracies. You set them on a path that not so surprisingly ended up with a Republican president inciting a Republican crowd to ransack the citadel of American democracy where you once worked. So spare us your righteous indignation. As you stare deeply into that purplish red sea in your glass, attempt to come to terms with the fact that you once had a chance to try to protect your party and country from insanity and extremism. Instead, you said, “Pour me another.”

All these never-trumper types who did NOTHING when they had the chance, but speak up now, would have a teeny tiny bit more credibility if they started out by saying "Holy Shit, I was WRONG and dammit I'm SORRY".

I don't think any of them have.

Boehner once handed out checks from a tobacco lobbyist right out on the House floor DURING THE VOTE!

Boehner's idea of sanity is being an honest grifter.

When John Boehner gets bought and paid for, he by god stays bought and paid for!
