Rayburn. O'Neil is the only one who compares.

I didn't know much about Rayburn so looked him up.

If more politicos had this attitude we'd all be much better off.  Instead they'll take money from anybody and some of the worst lie to us and tell us they're broke.

I like O'Neil too.


edit-I just noticed that three hacks voted for Pelosi.  I also noticed they did it quietly.

I deeply admire Tip, but in sense of being effective, it's almost impossible to top Mr. Sam.

2 votes for McCormack? He was a weak Speaker primarily interested in being liked by his colleagues.
