Yeah, Blackwell's great. Real responsive too. If you write him a letter he'll respond personally, but only if you write it on the correct weight of paper.

JohnAnnArbor,
Wasn't Blackwell asleep at the switch as the rare coin pension fund scandal went down?
Besides, I shouldn't leave Ohio Democrats out of it. Jim Traficant was a Democrat, which suggests that venality in Ohio politics is endemic, rather than just party-driven.

Now there's two words that shouldn't be in the same sentence: Jim McDermott and ethics.
As a voter in "Baghadad Jim's" 7th District of Seattle, I can assure you the man has no ethics or morals. Which explains why he won 82% of the vote last time out--the people in his district (save 18% of us) don't have ethics or morals, either. I fear we are stuck with this liberal and hypocritical windbag until Mt. Rainier erupts.
Other than that, you ask a fine question that I don't know the answer to.

I don't know if you noticed, but they had to throw out the first vote, because there were more total votes than Republican congressmen. You'd think after stealing so many elections the Republicans would learn to count a little better.

Wrong, Chris.
(second-to-last paragraph)
The leadership election was marked initially by confusion when it appeared that the number of ballots cast exceeded the number of eligible voters by one. It turned out that clerks had left Luis Fortuno, the resident commissioner of Puerto Rico, off their list. He is not allowed to vote on the House floor but does have voting rights in the GOP's internal deliberations.
But don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

So you're saying the votes in the first ballot did add up? I guess that's what I get for reading National Review Online, that said "More ballots cast than there are members. Re-voting now...." Those damned lying conservatives.

Well whaddaya know, Jon Stewart made creative use of Boehner's name, just as I had predicted. As a bonus, he also recycled the "voting irregularity" meme. Good times, good times.
