Ya know, I always did have a feeling that guy has a conscience.
He's been watching the Pope, and thinking, "What the fuck am I DOING? OH GOD...I'm SO Sorry......PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!"

Thanks, Pope!

He IS a politician, so part of me doubts it. The timing, however, is pretty remarkable. And to my fellow lefties who always poke fun at his crying, that's actually something I liked about him. The fake tan, however, is fair game.

I also can't imagine what it's been like trying to herd the GOP in Congress the past several years.

Right now, he's hearing Trump in one ear and the Pope in the other.
If he gives a shit about this planet, that's one hell of a moral dilemma.

Also, he had Tea Party Christians hovering over him, I'd get out too.

"Absolutely, they're unrealistic!" he said. "But, you know, the Bible says beware of false prophets, and there are people out there spreading noise about how much can get done."

Well, Kevin McCarthy was the frontrunner to replace Boehner, but not anymore: http://news.yahoo.com/house-gop-vote-sp ... NlYwNzcg--#

Allegations are emerging regarding California Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy’s abrupt withdrawal from the race is allegedly because the staunch anti-LGBT and “sanctity of marriage” advocate was having an extramarital affair with North Carolina Republican Representative Renee Ellmers.
