Congratulations

To the new Speaker of the House, Steven Scalise.

Since our media likes to celebrate Firsts, let's recognize him as the First Speaker of the House to be shot by a Progressive!

And, even better, he beat the guy endorsed by Trump!

UPDATE:  Guess I jumped the gun.  He won the GOP nomination.  Now it goes to the full House.  Gaetz has announced his support.  We'll see if some other crazy GOPers work with the Democrats to defeat Scalise.

FURTHER UPDATE: Scalise can't get the votes and has withdrawn.  This is what High Forehead Guy (Matt Gaetz) and his Suicide Squad accomplished by defenestrating Speaker McCarthy.  They told us McCarthy was a RINO and creature of the Deep State.  So why did the Democrats support Gaetz in his coup?  Why did McCarthy refuse to make a deal with the Democrats to retain his position?  Gaetz got his media coverage and pulled in donations, but he didn't care about anything beyond that.  Like Trump, it is all about the moment for HFG.

UPDATE OCT 18 - Well, the fiasco continues.  A definitive Trump-lite move by HFG.  4-D thinking when you don't bother thinking ahead, just do something, see how people react, and figure something will turn up.  But the big plus is you get twitter followers and the donations flow in from the folks you duped.
