This is some big news being leaked to RedState by a source on Capitol Hill.
In a meeting yesterday afternoon, John Boehner informed Rep. Don Young that Boehner would not support Young’s candidacy to remain Ranking Member on the House Natural Resources Committee.

This is a great, great sign from the Republican leadership.

Bravo Zulu! Rep. Boehner.
I never want to hear again of bipartisanship. The only time I want a Republican “reaching across the aisle” is to smack a liberal.
