GOP goes all in on Wilson

September 15, 2009 By Mark Kleiman @markarkleiman

Boehner says he’ll vote against the resolution of disapproval.

They’re in a cleft stick:  they could annoy the extremist base, or vote against civility and against the dignity of the House.  Voting with the extremists is a confession of how much power they wield within the GOP, and will make it very hard to disown them later.

It will be interesting to see if anyone defies the party line, either from principle or from electoral calculation.

Proposed headline:

House GOP Unanimous for Insulting President
