I really think Speaker Boehner’s best move is just to resign. He’s making a fool of himself. It can’t be worth it. His latest plan is so stupid that no one can even figure out why he’s attempting it. Even his own caucus is mystified. He’s whipping the crap out of his caucus to vote for tax hikes on millionaires in return for nothing because the bill will be dead the moment it is passed. And he thinks this will prove a point about what? The Democrats are desperate to make the Republicans break their anti-tax pledge, and Boehner is forcing his members to do it for free?
It might make sense if it got him one inch further towards some plausible goal, but it doesn’t. He’s an idiot.
