I doubt that he could have done anything about it. The nihilists in the GOP were hell-bent on launching a legislative suicide vest attack on the Congress no matter what he did. They didn't make John Boehner Speaker because they wanted him to lead them. They installed him in the job in order to have him wave shiny objects at the Democrats while they went about blowing up the Federal government.
He had a private meeting with Pope F., right? Is it possible the pope started talking about economic justice, climate change, etc, and Boehner had some kind of epiphany? Just asked himself what the fuck he was doing and decided to get the fuck out? Not likely, I know, but I did wonder.
not sure they're actually going to win the white house in 2016 though. so there's that.
No, it's conservatism that can't fail, only conservatives(fake ones)
But is it heaven or "Lost Weekend" for the Tawny-Colored Funk?
I think I heard either David Brooks or EJ Dionne opine that Boehner fell on his sword in order to stymie another government shutdown crisis.

David Lee Roth?
He's resigning to become Kim Davis's #5.
Maybe he can go to that one where he helps remodel houses.
In other words he is a louche.
"19 Holes and Crying"
It's hard, but we try.
That one would likely drive him to drink more.
It's his party and he can cry if he wants to.
I welcome our new batshit crazy overlord/s
That would be glen beck.
