GOP Ready to Throw Hastert and Boehner Under the Bus

Before most votes were even cast, righter-wing House Republicans got ready to throw rightwingers Denny Hastert and John Boehner under the bus, according to their house organ The Hill:

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the outspoken chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC), is expected to run for House minority leader if the GOP loses its majority by a sizable margin, a Republican aide with knowledge of his intentions said yesterday...

If he runs, the loquacious conservative would join Energy and Commerce chairman Joe Barton (R-Texas) in the field of candidates expected to challenge Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) if Republicans lose control of the House...

A broad array of rank-and-file members and some current leaders are considering bids for the elected leadership, including Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), John Carter (R-Texas), Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) and Kay Granger (R-Texas). Cantor and Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) are the two members of the current elected leadership whose stars have risen in the aftermath of the Foley scandal, but they remain mum about their ambitions after the election.

I can't wait for their competing campaign slogans:

  • I didn't take as much from Abramoff as he did!
  • I only fantasized about pages, I never IM'd one!
  • I got more earmarks than anyone else!
