As the one remaining person who still likes John Boehner, could I get y'all to at least concede that he has a really difficult job?
I think Boehner is ok, and I think his job has been from the beginning basically impossible. Nobody is going to be able to do a good job dealing with a nutter caucus unless that leader him or herself is also nutter. I think he resisted brokering a deal up till now because he knows that, if he does, the nutters will make Cantor the speaker instead of him, and nothing good will come from a Cantor speakership. So, basically, I'm with you on this point.
