That's closer than Willard the Rat Romeny will ever get. Pulling rank at the SLC Temple. To think Orin is the most disliked Senator. And the White Horse Prophecy lives on.

I always thought that the speaker of the house of representatives was third in line to the presidency. That is John Boehner now. I've never heard of a senator having that distinction. Boehner/Hatch...they're both horrors, so no big deal. I know someone will correct me if I'm mistaken.

The line is Vice President, House Speaker, Senate pro tempore, and so forth. I never said he was ahead of Boehner. Whether or not one is worse, however, is opinion. Hatch is worse in mine. He's not universally hated by conservatives like Boehner is.
