Speaker John Boehner is expected to talk to the press about his plan to resign from Congress in October at 1 p.m. ET today.
Boehner cancelled a press conference slated for earlier this morning, and told reporters simply “it’s a wonderful day.”
Watch live below, via NBC News:
Oh please, this asshole could not wait until the Pope leaves? Clearly a political stunt to take attention away from the Pope. Disgraceful.
Somehow I don’t think it was that. I almost believe the Pope’s visit made his decision easier. He is a devout catholic. He was lousy at his job, but I am afraid his successor will be much worse. There was a human side to Boehner
Good, then wait until at least tomorrow and announce your retirement. He is now the headline on a lot of sites instead of the Pope addressing the UN. Ridiculous.
Greatest accomplishment as Speaker: “Being able to cry tears of pure 100 proof Old Grand Dad bourbon.”
“All that the majority has accomplished?” ___ John Boehner
bwwwaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!~
Breaking: Replacement for Boehner… Louie Gohmert! …who will immediately move to kick the Pope out of office for his hippie socialist mentality.
~rimshot!~
BTW: Boehner is, like all Republicans, adept only at creating a horrid fracking mess and then leaving without cleaning it up. Sorry, but I have ONLY a cornucopia of contempt and loathing for Boehner.
