Republicans have vowed to spend their time in court trying to dismantle Obamacare, the Obama immigration plan, climate change, etc., rather than tending to the business of the country. The coal mining industry has many of them in their pockets, and will spare no expense to continue raping the land and polluting the planet. Let us hope that there is still veto power after the next Presidential election, or the country could easily slide back into recession.
I should do that too - say or write down a whole bunch of shit, then whenever one randomly happens, claim “I did that !” and expect respect and retribution for my astounding contribution to the species.
Wait, I think I’ve just basically described the medium/psychic/oracle business model. Fuck. Back to the drawing board.
If had a picture of me standing underneath the $2.50 gasoline sign that’s local to me, does that make me responsible for it, too?
I hope this woman disappears completely once she leaves office, but I’m sure she’s going to wind up being a go-to pundit on Fox.
I’m not sure about that, actually - she’s kind of like a crazy-eyed Glenn Beck, and a little *too *batshit for prime time. Does Fox even give Sarah Palin the time of day any more ? I feel like these three are mainly relegated to being sideshow, B-side, flyover country bait these days.
How do they keep coming up with the best and the brightest?
“We will fight amnesty tooth and nail, we will use the powers of the purse, we will have better oversight, we will fight to defund ObamaCare, and we have positive solutions.”
One of these clauses is not like the others.
Wait, is that even a possibility? That Republicans might split their votes and end up with Pelosi or any other Dem as Speaker? Has anything like that ever happened before?
There is in fact no statute, Article/section/clause or Amendment/section/clause that requires the house to select one of its own members as speaker. For all we know, the Rs could band together to install Mooselini as speaker.
Thus splitting the ‘silent h’ vote! This could be just the break the Mith Romney campaign is looking for!
Oh, rest assured, we do! We all do! Every day!
. . . Errmmm, you did mean “while masturbating,” didn’t you?
The Bull Moose Party is back!
Under current conditions, no, it’s not a possibility.
The parties each select their candidate for Speaker in caucus, and then it goes to a vote in the House. There is no chance that the Speaker in the next session will not be a Republican. I’d also give Gohmert next to no chance in the caucus, but I’m not as wedded to that statement as I am to the first.
Maybe, but he’d have to escape the Palin hunting party in Alaska first.
I would love a Speaker Gohmert – comedy gold! So long as no one gives him the power to declare war …
Does the choice of the Republican caucus preclude Gohmert from nominating himself, outside of the caucus?
Clearly not to Gohmert. 
Gohmert probably wants to be Speaker so nobody will ever again dare cast aspersions on his asparagus.
