Rep. Ryan Zinke’s sense of humor, always better than Democrats are willing to admit, was on display yesterday when he said he was thinking of running for Speaker of the House if Paul Ryan didn’t. That would give Republicans a second chance for a Speaker Ryan.
His quip reeled in outraged posts at Montana Cowgirl and the Rachel Maddow Blog, and a top of the page headline at the Flathead Beacon.
Come on, friends. Speaker Zinke is not an idea to taken seriously. If you make that mistake, you’ve been punked.
On a serious note, Zinke earned a well done with his vote supporting renewal of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. He’s having a good week.
