With wingnut con man Rep. Paul "Lyin'" Ryan running like mad away from the Speaker position being offered to him on a platter, House Rethugs are rudderless for the time being. Enjoy the schadenfreude of watching a party that is causing its own unraveling after years of appealing to the worst in our natures. The Rethuglican / New Confederate / Stupid Party's corporate country club wing thought that they could control the pitchfork peasants of the base, but they miscalculated, and now the mouth breathers have enough representation in Congress to create havoc. Salon's Andrew O'Herir has a worthwhile read on the background leading up to the "Suicide Caucus."
