Here is Reince Priebus, the replacement for Michael Steele as chairman of the RNC:


And, of course, John Boehner:


I presume that Steele will now avail himself of some of that good old Wingnut Welfare and get a no-show job at Fox News, the Hoover Institute or the Heritage Foundation.

  1. Wow, how did the Boner find a gavel that's the exact same color as he is?! I didn't know they even *made* gavels in that shade of orange!

  3. ...except isn't the gavel pretty standard, no matter which idiot is laying about with it? I think Boehner's gavel is the exact one Pelousy used.

  4. Err, no, Pelosi's gavel was a small white one, not this big orange monstrosity. Just do a Google Images search for "Nancy Pelosi gavel" and you'll see oodles of images of it -- mostly from right-wing sites, so don't say this is a "liberal lie", 'k?

  5. Yeah, hers was way smaller, and she looked really amused at his when she was handing it to him. Aren't croquet mallets about that size? I thought he was a golfer...
