This gets my vote:
This piece gave me lot of respect for Boehner, not only did he make his point very well he also didn't overdue it. After Waxeman and the Democrats dumped a 300 page amendment into the energy bill at 3AM Boehner took the stage near the end of the debate for his rebuttal and started reading highlights of what was in the amendment. I believe this clip starts about 20 or 30 minutes into his speech where Waxeman tries to put an end to it. To his credit Boehner did not take full advantage of the leeway given to him and ended his speech about 30 minutes later.
