Note that the House Republicans, who have abused, undermined and humiliated the guy every which way over the last couple of years, have given John Boehner another term as speaker:
House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday formally won reelection to a second term overseeing a chamber that has proved difficult to manage, just days after several insurrections from rank-and-file Republicans left him in a less powerful position heading into critical negotiations this year.
Boehner survived the defections of a handful of Republicans from the most conservative wing of his party, winning the final vote tally 220 to 192 over House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) received three votes.
I guess they just love kicking that guy around. He must like it, too.
I didn’t really see the above SNL skit from a few weeks ago as all that much of an exaggeration.

I have to wonder why he continues to accept the position. I doesn’t seem to be a very graceful one these days.
Who else wants it? I mean besides Pelosi.
They like to make him cry, since he does it so easily.
