Rising Hegemon
The leaders have come under intense scrutiny. Barely 36 hours after the caustic New Year’s Day vote, Boehner faced a coup attempt from a clutch of renegade conservatives. The cabal quickly fell apart when several Republicans, after a night of prayer, said God told them to spare the speaker. Still, Boehner came within a few votes of failing to secure his speakership on the initial vote, an outcome that would have forced a second ballot for the first time in nearly a century.More evidence that God either doesn't exist, or is kind of a dick.
You see now why I'm an agnostic...although I know Congressional Republicans are uniformly dicks.

Am I being too much of a coastal elitist (who has always lived between the Continental Divide and the Appalachians, north of the Mason-Dixon line) to wonder if "God" didn't remind these fine fellows that Boehner's replacement was a... um... you know, he's ... that he hadn't accepted Jesus as his personal savior?
I'd say it was mighty white of their god to save the career of an orange man.
So that's what the Republican House caucus calls Haley Barbour.
We are well and truly boned.
