Staging a Circus Makes You a Clown

December 21st won’t mark the end of the world, but it certainly appears it’s marking the beginning of the end of John Boehner’s tenure as Speaker of the House. On Thursday night, Speaker Boehner had to cancel a circus that he staged. That circus was H.R. 6684, otherwise known as “Plan B” (or, more appropriately, “Plan BS”).

Snip:

If you’re going to stage a circus, make sure you look like the promoter and not the ringmaster. If you’re going to draft a bill with the sole intent of spiting the other party, make sure you have enough votes. If you’re not sure you have enough votes, don’t go on television and thump your chest.

Boehner didn’t have the votes, he had to pull the bill and Washington, DC sits under a flood advisory due to his tears flooding the Potomac after his epic failure. Politics should never be this much fun to watch, but it was on Thursday. The fuse has been lit for the implosion of the Republican Party and, like a demolition derby, it is fun to watch.
