Democrats Pull Weird Political Trick To Elect Different Republican Speaker Of State House

Even though it seemed like Republican John Perzel was going to remain as Speaker of the House, Democrats apparently cut some sort of deal and … elected a different Republican House Speaker.

This one’s from Philadelphia, too. Denny O’Brien represents the Far Northeast and is well-known for his stances of being for seniors and against people who aren’t for seniors. He also puts up these little campaign sign-like things that say “Merry Christmas from Denny O’Brien” in December.

No word if Perzel is planning on moving out of the Speaker’s office anytime soon — he hadn’t after the Dems took the House — so this should be pretty amusing for the next two years.
