It appears they only got 10 Rs to vote against Boehner, despite 60% of the Republican base demanding new leadership. Please let them run Jeb. I doubt he would break 40%.

Have they voted?

On my screen it looks like they're still milling around, waiting to vote.

Sounds like the gavel is sounding now.

Did I read it wrong? Was that vote for a quorum?

I haven't seen a bigger collection of sideshow freaks since the days of Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Baily.

Rep. Trey Gowdy missed his flight to Washington Tuesday morning, but said he would have voted to re-elect John Boehner as speaker, despite an effort underway by some conservative members to oust him.

“A canceled flight, due to weather, from South Carolina to Washington this morning regrettably prevented me from being in Washington for today’s speaker vote,” Gowdy said in a statement. ”Had our flight not been canceled, I would have voted for our conference nominee, John Boehner.”

Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) mounted challenges against Boehner; Tuesday’s voice vote brought scattered votes for other members, including Gowdy himself, a conservative favorite.

“The position of speaker of the House is a difficult job as evidenced by the fact that so few members seek the position,” Gowdy said. “Speaker Boehner was approved overwhelmingly by the conference in November. In fact, not a single other name was placed in nomination.”

They just re-elected Boner, and now Peeloosely is the first to take the stage.

I heard that stupid bitch say, "Now all of us should applaud all of us." As if they had done anything worthy of any applause. Whole bunch should be blown to smithereens. And I thought she was going to keep talking until the end of this term.

Well, what else can you expect?

When the limelight's on them, they just can't get enough of listening to themselves.

Just a backslappin' good time for the suits.

(And did I spy a tear atremble on Boner's ruddy and sober cheek? I did see him pull out his hanky there.)

Excerpts from: Boehner takes revenge - Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan - POLITICO

Boehner moved swiftly to boot two of the insurgents from the influential Rules Committee.

The reason for dethroning the two Florida Republicans was simple: Webster ran against Boehner for speaker,

Nugent supported his fellow Floridian

It didn’t take more than a few hours for Webster – a legendary former Florida statehouse speaker and state Senate majority leader – and Nugent to find themselves on the outside of a power structure they were once very much a part of.

Members are already making noises about reversing any punitive action by Boehner and the leadership, although the speaker’s allies warn that further retaliation could be on the way.

The House Republican leadership is carefully reviewing the list of members who voted against the speaker and those who opposed a procedural motion in December on the so-called “crominibus,” the $1.1 trillion spending package to keep the government open through to September. Top Republican sources suggested that the process could take months to unfold.

Particular ire was directed toward Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.), who had a dinner Monday night where the uprising was discussed. Dozens more Republicans could face a backlash.

The rebels don’t think they deserve anything but respect from the leadership and their colleagues, and none suggested they were sorry about publicly seeking to oust Boehner.

They are also aware that a price may have to be paid,

Tuesday’s tally brought “double the number” of anti-Boehner votes from 2013, noted Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), one of the most vocal thorns in Boehner’s side.

Huelskamp said he was denied a chance to get his seat back on the Agriculture Committee because of his opposition to Boehner. The Kansas Republican was removed from the panel in 2012.

about retaliation against those who voted their conscience, their constituents, their principles, to change the status quo,” Huelskamp said. “My colleagues fully expect that. That’s what they expect out of this leadership team.”

Rep. Steve King, the Iowa Republican who voted against Boehner, said, “If you cannot vote your conscience … then it’s clearly a dysfunctional system here."

as the week unfolded, a growing number of Republicans announced their opposition to Boehner,

On Monday night, Boehner met with Meadows, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan and Rep. Matt Salmon of Arizona. Salmon, who has railed against some of Boehner’s decisions in managing the House, supported the speaker’s campaign.

the meetings continued almost up until Tuesday’s vote – and Boehner turned several more members in his direction. Earlier in the day, just before the speaker roll call began on the floor, Boehner met privately with Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador. Labrador skipped the 2013 vote, but supported Boehner on Tuesday.

"We don't need these fringe guys as much as we did anymore," said a GOP leadership aide, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We can let them walk on certain bills, and it just won't matter.

What a way to run a government.

Their personal fiefdoms come before the nations business.

And they have the gall to call each other...honorable...
