Skull and Bones Member Dana Milbank: GOP’s Louie Gohmert, wannabe speaker, headlines the House’s latest freak show


The Washington Post has the latest column from Skull and Bones member Dana Milbank:
The sweeping electoral victory for House Republicans in November was, paradoxically, not necessarily a good development for conservatives. Republicans padded their majority by 13 seats, and the number of Republicans loyal to Boehner grew by about 15 — meaning Boehner can afford to lose the votes of the most hard-core conservatives, about two dozen in total, and still get legislation passed.
Dana Milbank sure knows about freak shows.
