Report: Right wing plots coup to oust Boehner

[sofa king]

25. Damned straight.

And this is why the Tea Partiers will never be able to control the House: you must have not a little bit of the stupid in you to be a Tea Partier, and that stupidity will almost certainly translate into procedural incompetence during the rough-and-tumble opening day in the House.

When the new Congress opens with no rules whatsoever in the House, the Tea Partiers simply won't be able to keep up with the maneuvering that the more experienced top-hat Republicans (and more importantly, their more experienced staff and supporting lobbyists) will know by heart.

Now, all of that changes if one of the top-hats bucks up and decides to challenge Boehner from within the ranks of the money-Republicans. Then, suddenly, the predictable intransigence of the Tea Partiers could wind up being the key to what happens next. It could happen, but I think it is unlikely.

Right now I'm wondering if the Tea Partier's knack for saying "no" might be used by House Democrats to temporarily usurp the proceedings themselves. I don't know how it all works well enough to say for sure.
