    Johnson wins Speakership.

    Now, lets see if he can herd the cats better than McCarthy did.

      Seems like he's a bit like Jim Jordan but w/o Jim Jordan's baggage.

          That's a big job for Johnson. You know, it's better than electing Mike Hunt.

            I hear that Richard Gaziña dropped out early.

            And Phillip McCracken wasn't interested.

              And Barry McCockiner was, ah, predisposed.

                    Total noob. Of course, early headlines talk about how he doesn’t believe in dinosaurs. Who knows, it’s hard for me to care less about the Speaker tomfoolery.

                          Just over one month after his unprecedented ouster, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) unloaded on far-right Republicans who voted to remove him from the speakership, telling CNN the GOP would benefit “tremendously” without Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in the House and excoriating Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.).
