How many Kevin McCarthys does it take to change a lightbulb.

None.

He needs a House, first.

It's obvious that even if they manage a winning vote, he isn't going to be someone that people want to work with.

What a cluster.

He's going to go down gambling, for sure. It's incredible that he's still hanging on, but that's what worshippers of the chump do, sad to say.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

This Irish joke was even less funny the second time!

Oh, I forgot, only real psychopaths need apply for the Republican House speakership. Excellent reminder, though.

Even McCarthy withdrawing might not help. He’s made so many concessions to the Freedom Cossacks that ANY speaker is going to be rendered ineffectual.

It wouldn’t surprise me, though, to see McCarthy eventually win this thing, then be followed by a rapid succession of speakers.
