Not the way that I interpret his actions. He was being shown the door and decided to walk out instead of being tossed out.
Here, I’ll give you a topic. Why is bohner such a giant douche? Discuss....
Nonsense. He knew they were coming for him.
Not sure whether you mean that the only thing Boehner has done right is resign (whuch I agree with), or the only thing he has dine right is have the Pope speak before Congress (which I don’t agree with).
There are some good reasons why the Pope shouldn’t address Congress, that go beyond the fact that this Pope is a leftist who gave in to some of his baser instincts to air his political views. The two previous Popes never were invited to address Congress, even though they were on mostly cordial terms with U.S. leadership.
Religious leaders like the Pope and political leaders both have important roles to play but they operate in separate spheres that should stay separate. That separation of powers and roles is the genius of the U.S. and of post-enlightenment Western civilization. That separation allows people of many religious views to view each other as citizens of the same county, and allows people to worship together on Sundays with people who they have fundamental political disagreements.
The world Obama, Boehner, Francis and Hollywood envision is a world where politics, religion, and celebrity all converge and in an elite oligarchy where a broad concensus is imposed on the little people. We’ve tried that system where religion and government are one in the same: that was what the roman dictatorship was, that was what the Dark Ages were, that is what Iran and Saudi Arabia are. Combining those spheres leads to tyranny.
Congress should be a fractious lively institution where partisan debate is welcomed and where vocal minorities bring everything to a crashing halt if they are not given their due. Church should be an institution which propagates timeless values. Both are diminished by mixing the two.
Boehner has been there long enough for a very comfortable pension at taxpayer expense. No need to feel sorry for his career. His family owns a bar too. Convenient.
John Boehner just sacrificed the Republican Party for the good of his career
FIXED NOW!
Now THAT is one funny line, I don’t care who you are.
ha ha who is he kidding?
You can’t fire me... I quit
This article needs a barf alert

Hold it... McConnellenstien is next.. the post turtle..
Washington Post
Still pumping out the same leftwing slime.
Let’s build him an F.ing statue/fountain, with little tear ducts flowing constantly.
To #6. What you have just written describing Bonehead is the kind of “career” the Wash. Post expects from their peasants.
I emailed him about a month ago to do what was right for the American people and not for himself
The kind of career that Term Limits should prevent from ever happening.
Another weepy eye pundit sorry to see Obama’s BFF leave.
LOL. The MSM defending this drunk because he always delivered to the Dems. Boehner despised the Tea Party movement that helped make him Speaker. He failed to capitalize on one of the few real grassroots movements in American political history. Boehner helped kill the GOP.
No selfies allowed, please allow me to remind that most camera angles of the Pope's speech had Boehner (seated in the Speaker of the House seat) just over the Pope's left shoulder. Boehner now has hundreds of quasi selfies with this Pope.
Mission accomplished!
