I love watching Republicans eating their own.

GOP lawmakers squabbling after Boehner punishes some for challenging leadership

The Ohio Republican kicked Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL), who voted for himself for speaker, and Rep. Rich Nugent (R-FL), who voted for Webster, off the influential Rules Committee and stopped Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) from sponsoring a bill.

This part was especially delicious.

Besides, one aide told Politico, the Republican majority is less reliant on its most staunchly conservative members to pass legislation.

“We don’t need these fringe guys as much as we did anymore,” the aide said. “We can let them walk on certain bills, and it just won’t matter. That gives us breathing room.”
