Maybe we should be grateful he let us peer into his crazy mind.

It wasn’t a minute and it wasn’t magical.

I don’t think this proves he is a loon. If you need to talk for eight hours straight, you eat up time with any random shit that pops into your head. I suspect he had a page full of bullet items of anecdotes and recollections, and he just went through each one, padding them out as much as he could.

That doesn’t preclude him being a loon on other grounds, though.

Did the whole thing go into the Congressional Record for posterity to ponder?

McCarthy is nothing more than an unethical, lying Trumpy Fluffer. And doing a damn poor job at that. I doubt he see’s himself when he looks in a mirror.

By the time Kev came up with these gems he musta been just spouting random words in no particular order. And guess what. That’s exactly what politicians are paid to do at a base salary of $174,000/year. Now, I never had a salary like that my entire working life. And it’s part time work!! These clowns are in session Three days a week tops!! and around August they get 6 weeks vacation. And breaks at 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day, Christmas … Like I said…part time work. $174,000 not counting health care and other perks. It’s the only job where the employee writes the rules of employment into law.

  • Very fine people on both sides: “Mr. Speaker, I’d love to debate Jim Crow one day.”
  • Born in the wrong time: “I wish I could have been in Tiananmen Square and I wish I could have been there, knocking down that Berlin Wall.”

No doubt TFG National is creating some very expensive rooms for you and I to pay for Secret Service to stay in. So happy I can be a target for TFG grifting. /s
