Crap. Well, whatever. It’s not like any of the alternatives would have been much better. Rep. Allen West (Christ!), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (OH NOES!), and Reps. Jim Jordan, Raul Labrador, and Justin Amash (Who? Wha?), as well as former Comptroller General David Walker (Sure, shrugs.) all failed to overthrow THE GREAT ORANGE ONE. What the hell happened to Paul Ryan? Wasn’t there a plan to lock Boehner in an anteroom and push Paul Ryan out onto the floor like a well-used GOP mop? All of that failed!

Naturally.
