Yep. Let's not lose sight of that simple, but obvious, point. Boehner is in the process of twisting arms out of their sockets in a way that every MMA champ would envy. All to pass a bill that will piss off the constituents in half of the GOP's districts for being batshit crazy, and piss off the other half for not being batshit crazy enough.

And the bill has absolutely zero chance of becoming law. None. It will be D.O.A. in the Senate before the courier can make his/her way back to the House.

So, Boehner is putting his Speakership on the line, and putting the electoral fortunes of scores of his caucus on the line. For nothing.

Remind me again why anyone thinks this guy has anything less than abysmal political instincts?
