I am so glad he will be gone!

[Kath1]

I only fear his replacement. Ugh!

[TDale313]

1. Aye, there's the rub. n/t

[Kath1]

2. Yes!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. John of Orange was pretty bad, but I'm afraid

his successor will be even worse.

[Kath1]

4. Even more extreme and obstructionist.

The right wing nuts.

[yurbud]

15. GOP will go from Roberts Rules of Order to Khmer Rouge Rules of Order

Same bad ideas, but pursued without even the pretense of democratic process.

[jeff47]

5. Likewise: Happy he's out, fear just how crazy his replacement will be.

Coupled with our party's continued spinelessness in fighting that crazy.

[C Moon]

6. What also makes me happy is that he was never able to dismantle "Obamacare."

[Kath1]

8. Yes!

VERY happy that he could not pull that off!

[MohRokTah]

7. Be careful what you wish for,

you may actually get it.

[Spirochete]

9. They'll replace him with

Steve King, or someone equally insidious...

10. My daughter lived in Iowa for a time.

She despises that man.

[Spirochete]

11. Lot of that going around

I've never even set foot in Iowa, and I hate him too. I sure hope he doesn't get Boehner's job.

12. McCarthyism II, coming right up (yes, literally)

It looks like Kevin McCarthy may be the next Speaker. As hard as it sounds to believe, we may end up missing the crying drunk, after a fashion.

[murielm99]

13. Oh, no.

I googled him:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kevin-mccarthy-boehner-resigns_56055982e4b0af3706dbe485

One of the comments says he sounds like an empty talking head. The article damns him with faint praise.

[Kath1]

14. I'm just learning about hm.

Don't like him already.
