John Boehner asked to step down as Speaker of the House? (Pelosi, Reid)

That's the rumor being floated around on MSNBC, I guess we'll know at 5 p.m. est if it's true.

I doubt that came from a person with MSNBC. Most likely from a disgruntled RWNJ guest. MSNBC will bring some of those idiots on, for amusement effect.

It would be time for the House to put the Boner back in their pants, but I am enjoying watching him act like an idiot who can't control his own party or the House.

from MSNBC:

Boehner likely to be reelected speaker, but there could be drama - First Read

Boehner has the toughest position in politics. I don't think anyone else in the Speaker position would do any better and some could do worse.

Other than that, MSNBC is always spot on with no political bias whatsoever.

Jeez, you never fail to amaze Bob.

Agreed! He's a moderate who is stuck between RW progressives, and TP fiscal hawks. Talk about a rock and a hard place.

Now batlens, like Reid and Pelosi, will reap undeserved credit for the battle that Boehner fought (and won) on both fronts.

I wouldn't mind seeing Boehner go. Anywhere. So long as he goes.

I could see Ed Shultz saying that, he is quite a LWNJ, Maddow ... ummm probably not she is too intelligent. Naw, most likely a guest. The OP didn't say if Boehner supposedly was asked or if he asked to be removed from consideration. Neither makes much sense to me. But hey, Repubs will say anything, just like a lot of Dems.

I'd bet you'd say that about every Republican, eh?
