The Soft Bigotry Of Low Expectations

So the savvy seem to think Kevin finally ekes out the win, and a narrative is already getting set...and gee, who'd have figured it would...lean as friendly as can be expected in the GOP's direction. 

KMac's gaining momentum as opposed to wow, it took this long to get their shit together.

Give him a trophy. 

OK, he gets the nice big office next to the chamber, fuck all good that does him. And the gavel he holds would be plastic/Playskool if there was any honesty...

Meanwhile, the insiders offer us stories about Capitol Hill area happy hours and C-SPAN's ratings bump...which is the first step in the whitewash.

You'll also see the Andrea Mitchell Greenspans of this world distract with a bit of both sides.

And then it will all be forgotten, since it's a Repub. 

Can guarantee if it was the other side of the aisle the story would not be Dems in disarray. It'd be Dems disintegrating. 

Have a good weekend. 

Soup's On

Kevin McCarthy, political tomato can. 

Am trying to think of a boxing equivalent, and one that sticks out is Larry Holmes versus Randall Tex Cobb. Google it if you don't recall the details. 

Round 11 is in the books...

The Ritual Humiliation Will Continue

Round 6 is in the books, another loss for KMac, looks like there's a roll call on an adjournment motion.

I'll have more popcorn ready.

You Can't Lose Your Dignity If You Had None To Begin With

I'll admit to a morbid sense of curiosity in wondering just how low McCarthy will stoop...
