The conservative website The Drudge Report on Friday mocked the announcement of House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) resignation as “one last cry.”
Here’s a screenshot of the splash:
Boehner, who’s known to get emotional in public, wiped tears from his eyes Thursday after Pope Francis’ joint address to Congress and cried after the pontiff addressed the public from the speaker’s balcony. Boehner had extended the invitation to Pope Francis to speak to Congress.
Drudge Report proprietor Matt Drudge also tweeted about Boehner’s surprise announcement:
Now we get to spend the next year with the Republican Party going bananas.
Ir appears to me that Matt Drudge is gleeful to report Boehner’s last cry! So I guess the tea baggers are partying up a storm now.
That Drudge is tickled to see Boehner go speaks volumes. This is going to get ugly.
Mitch McConnell had better watch his back. He’s next.
Republicans have truly become the most crass and dishonorable group of people I have ever seen. Don’t get me wrong. I’m no fan of Boehner’s, but it used to be that conservatives were recognized as polite and considerate and the liberals were crazy revolutionaries … my how the times have changed.
not yet.
his comeuppance will be in '17.
