THE LAST WORD
“Kevin McCarthy certainly has worked for it [the speakership] this week, whatever you think of him. You get the feeling McCarthy would crawl naked through a sewer to get this gig. And that’s not necessarily an insult, by the way. It’s what it takes, obviously. Maybe it’s what it should take.”
