Whether you like her or not, Ms. Nancy Pelosi is a very classy person. Her warm words for Boehner

set a nice tone for collegiality and to tell the truth I'm sort of glad Boehner was re-elected to Speaker. I'm used to him.

sad right now, it was all fixed and determined ahead of time (it probably was, that's how it works I guess.)

...but she was a first-rate Speaker, from a technical standpoint. Boehner probably wishes he were half as good.

If they had elected a teabagger, at least they would move legislation to the floor.

Boehner doesn't move crap unless it can pass, and he doesn't move crap - because the House Republicans are unable to pass a bill in the first place.

He can't negotiate and deliver a majority, but then again that means a teabagger wouldn't get a majority either. The difference is that a teabagger speaker would probably move stuff to the floor for a vote, and we'd at least be able to know the real crazies from the marginally less insane.

The White House has ordered up a few barrels of veto ink.
