"I didn't need mom or apple pie, I had God."
In the
latest rehash of the ongoing war among House Republicans that pits the completely crazy against the marginally less insane wing of the party, we learn one interesting thing: In January, when John Boehner's reelection as Speaker of the House was in doubt, it took divine providence to save him. No, really.
Barely 36 hours after the caustic New Year’s Day vote, Boehner faced a coup attempt from a clutch of renegade conservatives. The cabal quickly fell apart when several Republicans, after a night of prayer, said God told them to spare the speaker.
Huh. Considering what a failure Boehner's leadership has been, this seems to prove that God does indeed work in mysterious ways.
