It’s been rather delicious watching the Speaker battle play out. McCarthy is an amoral sleaze, and he deserves all the humiliation he can get.
This is a unique situation. I usually have a decent idea of how things will end up as things unwind in Washington, or at least I have an opinion, but in this case I haven’t the slightest. It looks like the nutjobs (they’re almost all nutjobs, but the ones in question are the Grade A nutjobs) won’t give in, so we may be watching Speaker votes for quite some time. I know this is wishful thinking, but wouldn’t it be nice if five of the Republicans from districts that Biden won decided to switch parties?
One prediction about which I’m fairly confident. The media will at some point decide that it simply must find a way to blame both sides for this debacle.
In the meantime, it’s fun to watch McCarthy (to bring back a Watergate phrase)twist slowly, slowly in the wind.
