Speaker of the House and Chief Oompa Loompa, John Boehner (pronounced bo-ner), has announced that he is resigning effective the end of the month. Of course, Boehner milked the moment for every thing\u00a0it was worth in true christian martyr fashion, proclaiming by stepping down he is saving congress. However, we believe that Papa Francisco&#8217;s visit had a lot to do with the Orange Man&#8217;s departure. Boehner, a life long Catholic, was very moved by the pope&#8217;s visit. We think that while listening to his speech and looking out at the &#8216;christian&#8217; Republicans sitting in the Senate and House, Boehner had a gobsmack revelation when he realized what astounding, hypocritical assholes he and his colleagues were in comparison with the pope.<\/p>\n<p>Boehner provided a lot of laughs for us here at the Bucket over the years but we&#8217;re sure that his nut job replacement as Speaker will soon be providing comedic gold for satirists everywhere. We say good riddance to the Chief Oompa Loompa with one more photo-toon for the road.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4302\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4302\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/boehneroompaloompagoodbye.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4302\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/boehneroompaloompagoodbye.jpg\" alt=\"Pope Francis' visit to Congress opened Chief Oompa Loompa, John Boehner's eyes and helped him realize what a colossal asshole he has been.\" width=\"500\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/boehneroompaloompagoodbye.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/boehneroompaloompagoodbye-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Republican Speaker of the House and Chief Oompa Loompa John Boehner, bids farewell to Congress after realizing what a colossal asshole he has been.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was some huge news this past week and we here at the Bucket are suffering from a massive case of Schadenfreude.
