Pelosi was incredibly partisan as speaker; she was also the most effective speaker in decades. She had masterful control over a more diverse and similarly-sized caucus, whereas Boehner has floundered. And Boehner is one of the good ones!

The Republican Party needs to be ejected from Congress until they're ready to lead. Throwing a tantrum every time you cant get everything you want, getting our credit downgraded, or reflexively voting down the policies of the executive because they came from a black Democrat are not behaviors that should be condoned.
