    Rep. Gerry Connolly tells @jbendery that some of his GOP colleagues are pointing to the tax bill prayer as the reason Paul Ryan fired the House chaplain.http://bit.ly/2JuwL3u

        Would be nice to see Democrats run with that, though. Could get some good propaganda in there. Challenge one of their strongest pillars. If only Democrats had that kind of political acumen.

        This means @SpeakerRyan would have fired Jesus, who also encouraged people to consider the poor.

        Sounds about right. I mean, this is the same Paul Ryan who is such a good Catholic that he refused (was too scared) to meet with a group* of nuns regarding a past budget of his. *I don't know the collective noun for nuns

        Reminds me of that old Robert Smigel cartoon on SNL. Christmastime I think, and all the televangelists & public CINOs (Christians in name only) were speaking, grubbing, pontificating and Jesus would tap them on the back and they would shove him off the stage. Robt Smigel, prophet

        Ryan, a so called " evangelical " , is showing how far away from God he is. That prayer, and so many more I have heard before their sessions I have always felt were "neutral". He just prayed for what Jesus wanted " good for all"!

        Amazing. As the DC media told us for years, Ryan was the boy scout slash intellectual of the GOP. Well, by the GOP's standards that may in fact be true...

        @SpeakerRyan If so, speaker has pretty thin skin and this firing is not appropriate!
