In reply to JMAshby. "Herding cats" is no longer an appropriate metaphor for the Speaker's job. "Herding a ravenous horde of mindless zombies who are eating their own" is more apropos.

In reply to muselet. Everyone who takes this job will become Boehner until the GOP no longer controls it.

Remember “John Boehner is really bad at his job”?

Behold the wonder that is Paul Ryan. Irritating the Ds while simultaneously making enemies of a sizeable chunk of his own conference, and making it even more unlikely to pass meaningful legislation, and making his own conference look like a bunch of bigots takes serious incompetence.

Bravo, Mr Speaker. Bravo.
