Jeff Hoover will no longer lead the House of Representatives, but he still has a seat in the chamber's back row, where he plans to be a vocal member of the Republican majority. Meanwhile, eight of his Republican colleagues have filed formal disciplinary charges against him and have asked a special committee to recommend the House remove him from office.What are the odds both shitheels are former state House speakers?
