You think Boehner is happy about the slap down of the insurgents in his House?

[Honeycombe8]

The young upstarts who won't compromise, are totally obstructionistic, are overzealous and borderline hateful? The ones who wouldn't do what he said or advised?

I'm wondering....am thinking he's secretly happy about that. He's been proven that HIS more traditional way is the "right" way.

Yeah, I know Boner can be unreasonable, and is still an obstructionist in his own way. But not to the degree of the tea party freshmen that he has been unable to corral.

I'm thinking....he's laughing inside.

1. I bet he is glad to be rid of Walsh and West, he knew they were liabilities

That is why I am actually kind of glad Bachmann survived, she is the perfect representative for the party. She is completely incompetent as a legislator and can't get anything passed, the only thing she does is say extremely stupid shit that exposes the idiocy of not only herself but her entire party. Don't get me wrong I would not shed a tear if she were ever to be defeated, but as it stands I think she is an enormous gift to our side and I want to see her standing besides Boehner and continuing to show the world how stupid her party is.

2. Of course he's happy - he's drunk. Ask him again tomorrow morning.

3. How many of the 2010 class were not re-elected?

I had some friends who told me a lot of the new Republican freshmen are Teabaggers, and while the loudest may be gone, the Teabagger contingent has actually increased. Anyone know for certain?
