Jesus, these people

The Rev. Patrick Conroy wrote in an April 15 letter to Ryan obtained by NBC News: "As you have requested, I hereby offer my resignation as the 60th Chaplain of the United States House of Representatives."

"The position is one which I did not seek nor strive to assume, but I have seen it as a blessing and I have considered it one of the great privileges of my life," Conroy said.

Randy may be taking liberties. The speech he refers to in his tweet was November 6. But I would certainly like to know why Ryan asked Conroy to hand in his resignation. After all, Ryan has already decided not to seek re-election.  Why would he care if Conroy was there?  I smell fish.

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., has started circulating a letter for signatures asking Ryan to explain why he dismissed Conroy (who was nominated as chaplain by John Boehner in 2011). Connolly's office said they hope to have a final letter with signatures Friday to send to Ryan.

He'll just ignore it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 5/4:

Fr Conroy rescinds his resignation!
