John Boehner got a vote for House Speaker today

We have steadfastly avoided covering the Speaker’s race in much detail because, well, we always suspected it would end this way and you can get play-by-plays from X.

But for some quick afternoon amusement, it’s worth noting an Ohioan not named Jim Jordan got a vote for Speaker today. Rep. Mike Kelly voted for John Boehner for Speaker.

Here’s the moment in all its glory:

Cheers and smiles when Speaker pro tempore Rep. Patrick McHenry says this:

Needless, to say, Boehner didn’t win.

Also needless to say, neither did Jim Jordan.
