I’m gonna miss Harry Reid come 2017. He’s been one hell of a scrapper, and the country owes him a lot.

Reid was infuriating at times (oh momma he caused a lot of heartburn over the years), but in all he was pretty goddam good at his job.

Paul Ryan is a policy wonk. In reality he would be a terrible Speaker of the House. Either way it will still be a fiasco whether Paul Ryan is the new speaker or someone else gets the job. There will be some republican somewhere who is not happy.

Other ways to pick the next Speaker:
- Kidnap family members of the person you would like to see as the next speaker and demand that they take the job or they won’t see their loved ones again.
OK. That one should do just fine. No need to consider any others.

Of course, if you’re the Freedom Caucus you go ahead and kill them if he does take the job because killing hostages is the end, not a means to an end.

Excellent Political Jun-Jitsu there Harry.
Nothing gets the Reich-Wingers frothing at the mouth more than telling them one of their own is occasionally RATIONAL and works in a BI-PARTISAN manner (both curse words in their circles.)

Paul Ryan is not a policy wonk. He plays one in kindergarten, but Real Policy Wonks have passed arithmetic.

John Garamendi for Coalition Speaker.
Or, to borrow from Krugman on Gingrich, Paul Ryan´s a stupid man´s idea of what a policy wonk sounds like.

He’s a wonk without portfolio.
