You see, John Boehner had to postpone the vote on his debt ceiling plan because he didn't have the votes to get it passed:
Despite a days-long push to force their conservative members into line, and sneak Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) debt limit bill through the House of Representatives, GOP leadership has postponed a scheduled vote on the legislation -- a sign that their efforts have thus far failed.You would think that as speaker of the house, he would be able to get his own caucus to vote for him, or at least he would be able to count votes, but this is apparrently beyond the Congress's orange avenger.
TPM SLIDESHOW: Debt Negotiations At The White House
This evening, members were alerted that Boehner and his leadership team were delaying the vote, which had been scheduled for 6 p.m.
"Members are advised that the House GOP Leadership has postponed the votes on the motion to recommit and final passage of S. 627 - Speaker Boehner's Short Term Default Act (amending the Faster FOIA Act of 2011)," reads a notice from Minority Whip Steny Hoyer's (D-MD) office to his whip team.
He's the most incompetent Speaker of the House ever.
This is a good thing, because he's an evil son of a bitch, it's better when evil people are incapable of doing evil well enough.
I expect the Todal to so totally Gleep his ass.*
*The Todal is, "an agent of the Devil, sent to punish evildoers for having done less evil than they should." It Gleeps said unfortunate souls. Go read James Thurber's magnificent book, The 13 Clocks.
