25. Which should tell you something about Mr. Speaker...

he doesn't have the backbone for that job if he is going to let the crazies run the assylum over there. Say what you will about Nancy and the fact that that the Public Option never really WAS an option, at least she had the stones to tell us what she was willing to stake political capital on, and if we didn't like it she could always start cracking heads. She knew EVERY WHIP COUNT before a bill hit the floor. THAT'S how you leash the crazies, John.

For better or worse, the House needs a Speaker who won't break down and cry when thinking about how hard he/she had to work to get where they are. We all bust our ass, John, it don't make you special. What makes you special is that you don't let people you KNOW are dumber than you write a budget for this Nation based on the cognitive dissonance of Republican-Style Christian Atheism. You moron.
