Well, at least there's one bit of good news in the clusterfucktastrophe known as the Republican Caucus' Search for a Speaker: Indiana Garbage Governor Mike Pence doesn't want the job.
The first-term governor, who was part of the Republican leadership team during his 12 years in Congress, told reporters Tuesday he isn't currently seeking a return to Washington, D.C. — not even as the person second-in-line for the presidency.I bet his favorite part about his job is the "Fire Mike Pence" signs in yards all over Indiana! That's certainly my favorite part of his job, anyway.
"I like my current job," Pence said, while chuckling at the prospect of becoming speaker.
I love the last paragraph of this story: "Pence, and really any person on earth, is eligible to be elected speaker of the House as the U.S. Constitution sets no qualifications for the job, including being a member of the House or even a U.S. citizen." Big Mouth Billy Bass for Speaker!
