Republican roulette

It looks like Boenher has taken most if not all the bullets from the gun his party was holding to America's collective head.  By telling moderates he is willing to use Democratic votes to raise the debt ceiling he is effectively neutering the teahadist wing of his party.  Maybe the collective sigh of relief from most Americans will give the speaker enough cover to keep his job.  The alternatives are not pretty.  We can hope the next election will be a referendum on the party of stupid, in which case Nancy Pelosi will be pounding the gavel when Hilary takes the oath of office.  There will be a collective explosion of heads at FOX nation, but the future of the country will look immeasurably better with grownups in charge again.
