DAVID BROOKS: Well, first, I love the process.

You know, with Gingrich or with Speaker Pelosi, you really had five people running the House. It was sort of a semi-dictatorship. Now we have got a process. It looks like a legislature. And it is messy and it's kind of ugly. But I think Boehner has actually done a great thing.

And he promised transparency. I thought he would back off when times got tough, but it's tough. He has lost some things. He has lost an engine firm that will help GE, which is big in Ohio, his home state. And he's stuck with the idea that it will be open. So, I think I'm -- all power to him, because it is a real legislature now.

Sometimes I can stand Brooksie, but this was just sad.

1. He's a Republican. What did you expect?

:shrug: They stick together......and it looks like it works pretty good.

2. Brooksie has a brain.

That usually makes what he says at least interesting. Not this, especially after listening to Rachel recently catalog Boehner's failures as speaker.

3. I wish someone would finally exile that cokesacker to the

Boobistan or whatever it was he wrote about. Self-congratulatory asshole society would not mind removed to a distant clime.
