   They're down to the third-string babysitter now.

   A majority of the House Republicans vying for the speakership signed    
   a pledge Saturday aimed at saving the GOP’s next pick from the vote-   
   counting trap that sank Reps. Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan’s bids.   
   []   
      
   "Everyone join hands and promise to be good."   
      
   []   
   The device: A simple two-paragraph pledge, spearheaded by Rep. Mike    
   Flood (R-Neb.), to vote “yea” on the floor for whoever wins the House    
   Republican conference’s backing in the initial secret-ballot election    
   scheduled for Tuesday. To pick up more commitments, Flood is organizing    
   a bloc of Republicans to withhold support from candidates unless they    
   press their backers to sign the pledge.

   "No allowance unless you behave!"   
      
   Such clarity of vision. No wonder the fuckuplicans are so revered   
   in Dumpster country.
