When was the last time politics was entertaining? CNN tried to get there in the last debate by tempting all the candidates to take shots at each other.

After House Speaker John Boehner announced his intention to resign at the end of October, suddenly liberal journalists grew nostalgic. Rachel Maddow found him “refreshing and lovable.”  Chris Matthews insisted “verybody likes John Boehner. I can tell you the media like him.” That’s not exactly what Matthews and his liberal-media colleagues have been saying over the last five years. 

In reaction to Boehner’s unexpected resignation announcement, Salmon congratulated Boehner for his service and for doing the “right thing.”

Talking to newly installed MSNBC anchor Brian Williams about the Boehner resignation Friday morning, fellow MSNBC host Chris Matthews said he wishes the outgoing Speaker would try to pass immigration reform before he leaves. "I think it would be great if he said okay, we're a democracy here for a couple hours," Matthews said of Boehner. "We're going to vote on the immigration bill before I leave." Matthews said passing immigration reform would put the fight behind us, "leaving only the racists to talk about it." CHRIS MATTHEWS: I just wish John Boehner -- this is just my opinion hat being put on here. If he's going to get a CR through before he leaves, the Speakership, why not pass or at least bring to a vote the immigration bill passed in a bipartisan fashion by the Senate? And everyone who covers the Hill knows this, left, right, and center. If that came to a vote, we would have the immigration fight behind us going into this presidential election, leaving only the racists to talk about it. Everyone else would say, you know, that was a pretty darn good compromise. We're going to have requirements so people no longer are being hired illegally. There's going to be some kind of way to be a citizen overtime with a lot of obstacles, but you can get there. It's a really good bill passed with at least a dozen Republican Senators of goodwill, like Lindsey Graham. I think it would be great if he said okay, we're a democracy here for a couple hours. We're going to vote on the immigration bill before I leave. RACHEL MADDOW, MSNBC: I'm sorry to interrupt, but on that point, that's a really, really good point and it may become really important in what happens next. And I'm just wondering, when that first happened when it passed the Senate, there was a lot of talk that if John Boehner put it on the floor, there were enough Republican votes to pass it in the House. Is that still true? If he waved a magic wand and put the bill on the floor today, would it pass? MATTHEWS: Well, Rach, the Democrats would be all for it. The Hispanic groups, the Black Caucus, the liberals. Everybody would be for it because it basically opens the door to becoming part of us, for the people who have been here and committed their lives to America and their children and grandchildren to America. The good people who said we are Americans, who may not have come in here legally and may not have the documents, but we are Americans, darn it, and we want to become part of this country. but But we also want to stop the incentives of people coming into the country to get jobs illegally. Somebody in a Mexican restaurant in Chicago shouldn't decide who comes in the country. The American people should decide on a regular progressive immigration policy. And I think that's in the bill. I think it was a very balanced bill and could be passed in a minute in the House. It would be great if Boehner brought it up and passed it.

Boehner's friends are furious with conservatives for pushing the Speaker aside.

Tech bus drivers forced to live in cars to make ends meet Scott Peebles drives employees to their jobs at Apple, the wealthiest tech company in the world, yet he can’t afford a place to live. The 53-year-old sleeps on an inflatable mattress in the back of his green 1997 Dodge Caravan, a space smaller than a walk-in closet. Peebles is part of a growing segment of homeless people who have full-time jobs but can’t make ends meet. Instead of moving somewhere cheaper on the outskirts of the Bay Area — hours from their jobs — Peebles and several other tech bus drivers live in their cars. The driver, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, has been sleeping in the backseat of his Subaru for months, saving up to pay for health care related expenses and other bills. Several struggling bus drivers have thousands of dollars in credit card debt and are single, which could make them less desirable than dual-income renters. Peebles has racked up $20,000 in credit card debt, some that was accumulated when he was caring for his mother. Santa Clara County, where Apple, Google and Yahoo are based, estimates it has more than 6,500 homeless people, and a growing number of them — 23 percent — are living in cars or RVs, according to a 2015 census by Applied Survey Research. The Chronicle interviewed several drivers employed by Compass Transportation, a firm with contracts at Apple, Zynga, eBay, Yahoo, PayPal and Genentech, who are homeless or on the brink of homelessness. At night, some South Bay parking lots are dotted with cars hiding people catching a nap before their day jobs. Peebles moved to San Jose last fall to escape a bedroom infested with bedbugs in New York, where he worked driving a shuttle transporting disabled people. Earlier this year, amid a campaign to unionize tech bus drivers, Apple raised the base salaries of its drivers and offered a bonus for employees like Peebles, who work a morning and evening shift on the same day. Letetia Davis, a single mom who shuttles eBay employees, couldn’t afford her Oakland apartment after rent went up in 2013. [...] there is more than $1,000 in other necessary expenses — food, electricity, gas and cell phone bills. Not to mention tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt. Davis spends her long break napping in her bus, or gobbling up instant noodles from the lot’s vending machine. Davis tried to apply for financial assistance through federal housing vouchers, but was told she didn’t qualify because she earns too much. “I have to worry about, ‘Am I going to come home and the landlord changes the locks because I didn’t pay the rent?’” Davis said. Compass is negotiating with the Teamsters union, which represents tech bus drivers, but so far, Compass has not agreed to the proposed union contract, which includes 11 paid holidays, higher salaries and overtime pay. “Compass has long been committed to providing our valued employees competitive wages and benefits and a respectful work environment,” said Bryan O’Connell, senior vice president of the bus division for Compass Transportation, via e-mail.
