Stay on Message, People!

From Roll Call:

"At Wednesday's weekly closed-door House GOP Conference gathering, House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) urged his colleagues to quit piling on Rep. McKinney. His message basically was: Why murder someone who has already committed political suicide?

Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) got up next to address the Conference. Thomas said he planned to go to the floor at the first opportunity to "thank Cynthia McKinney."

'OFF message,' Boehner playfully interjected amid a room full of laughter.

'And I want to congratulate her on her beautiful new hairdo,' Thomas added."
