Send Off of the Day: Republicans and Democrats Rejoince as Congress Loses Its Boehner

Speaker of the House, Republican Rep. John Boehner announced his resignation from the office today.

What's so crazy about it is how many people from both sides of the aisle are greeting it with jubilation.

And the news sent Trevor Noah and 'The Daily Show' writers scrambling away from an interview

Business Insider says they were in the middle of an interview with the new host of the Daily Show:
"I'm sorry, we have to go right now," Noah joked, without skipping a beat, after hearing the news.

The new host then added, "That's sad. I liked him. He always cried."

It was then that one of the producers let it slip that they had "really funny" jokes about Boehner planned for the upcoming premiere episode on Monday.

Since Noah's first show is on Sept. 28, they gotta keep those jokes fresh.

Really, all of Twitter just had a go

The braindead liberals see this as some sort of win. The Germans thought they were winning too in WW2. #BoehnerResigns #boehner

Wow. Pope Francis visits Washington and John Boehner steps down. It's like an exorcism.

Dems will miss Boehner like we miss a fever. While unpleasant, he nonetheless helped kill germs.

Now is the time for a principled, conservative leader to emerge in the House. RT if you agree http://t.co/hfHizOqJAp

Like a man who passed gas in an elevator and then left as the doors closed, trapping others, so does Boehner pass from the Speakership.

refusing to vote on immigration reform that had OVERWHELMING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IN BOTH HOUSES will be Boehner's sad legacy

And so goes the nature of politics. Surely everything will move towards everyone's favor now.
