Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
If you still needed proof that Establishment Republicans were just as committed to status quo as Democrats, this would be the clincher.
Joe has a point – although I’m going to wait to see how the GOP conference votes on actual policy issues, rather than internal niggling.
If they screw the pooch on Keystone XL, IRS hearings, defunding Obamacare and the like, wake me up.

From the article:
“Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.), who also broke from Boehner, said late Tuesday that Webster and Nugent’s removal is something that would happen in a “communist country.”
“They voted the way their districts wanted to,” Yoho said on Fox News’s “Hannity” Tuesday night. “And to be held in jeopardy for that or retribution is wrong, because that would be something you would expect in China, Cuba, Russia or in a communist country … to, when you have a voice of dissension, to be punished.
“But in America, where we honor free speech and a Constitution that protects that, we should not have to go through that,” he added.”
Just so we’re clear the sum total of “Boehner’s Revenge” was that two guys who were in the leadership and served on the Rules Committee may no longer get to serve on the Rules Committee. Or may have to wait a while before getting back on.
Yep, that is *EXACTLY* like life in a communist dictatorship.
