It looks like a few members of Boehner’s caucus had their wings clipped for being too insane. I suppose that is progress. Of course, Walter “Freedom Fries” Jones got screwed for being too liberal. The Democrats might consider reaching out to Mr. Freedom Fries because he has always been a ripe target for a party change and he’s probably feeling pretty pissed at the moment. It’s not that I particularly want more Democrats like Rep. Jones, but we have a steep cliff to climb if we want to retake the House sometime in this decade, and if the Republicans are going to push members out of their caucus, I guess we’ll take them.
More importantly, the Giants-Redskins game has been really entertaining. Manning and RGIII are going to have some epic battles. They are both so talented.
