What other famous McCarthy could we compare Kevin to? Let’s see … No, not Joe … I would say — Charlie McCarthy, in a basic sense. Both are ventriloquist dummies — one spoke for Edgar Bergen, the other speaks for Donald Trump. Of the two, I say Charlie was the more life-like and likable, with more self-respect and dignity.
Not so, Kevin. Although Kevin McCarthy does not always appear directly on the lap of his master, one can practically hear Trump’s voice through him, and visualize Trump’s hand up his backside. And the rest of the Trump dummies are like so many Mortimer Snerds.
For those who don’t remember the Bergen/ McCarthy act:
Finally! Right there in the 1st panel, the new & improved GQP mascot. Pack that ol’ musty elephant in its trunk and lock it away in the attic. Elephants are sometimes known to be very helpful and caring, and we mustn’t have any of that. No siree Bob! Give us that good ol’ jellyfish. Ain’t gotta spine, ain’t gotta brain, ain’t gotta heart! Slimy as schiznit and it’ll sting the lovin’ daylights outta ya if yer a friend or a foe, and purdy much equally too. Yeehawr!
Ain’t evolution grand.. t’was a long time coming but then.. trump, descended (via escalator).. and offered the glue (official BS®) that created a whole new genre of spineless republicans.
Having no spine is bad enough, but their brains are AWOL too (If they ever had one.) JOIN THE Repulsican ZOMBIE NAZI MOVEMENT! Frequent outhouse visits are provided.
And any Republican that does display a backbone (e.g., Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and the late John McCain) is ridiculed, excoriated, shunned, and all but expelled from the Party.
What I don’t understand about your system is at best 45 has one more shot at the Oval room after that it’s the rubber chicken circuit. Much as he would like he isn’t Putin or Xi and will be eclipsed by whoever replaces him. The UK and others can replace their PM during a term if they lose the confidence of the party, and the party with control of the house chooses the First Minister.
Does 45 (originally an outsider) think he is capable of influencing the GOP past 2028, assuming he wins?
And how does DC justify having two senators if they get statehood? Representation yes but statehood, can’t say I’ve seen as stupid a proposal except maybe in Oz
I was unaware of Mr. McCarthy until that meeting to discuss Dreamers with the Dotard-in-Chief. When Sen. Feinstein asked if it were possible to separate DACA from immigration, the Dotard immediately agreed. Then Mr. McCarthy jumped in: “No, Mr. President. THIS is what you really mean….” and, well, you know how quickly that problem was put into the past.
Why people choose to vote for people who take pride in publicly peeing into the town well will seemingly always be a mystery. Maybe Montana Bill can explain….
And now that Jerry Falwell, Jr. has more time on his hands, maybe he can explain how the Republicans now believe in (maximum) 9 commandments, as “Thou shalt not bear false witness” has evidently been scrubbed. The NEW New Testament?

Most of republicans don’t have a spine, but do have a lot of gall.

Crustaceans have a tough outer shell, they should be excluded from the comparison.
