According to the list of characters in the credits the actual spelling is "Felisha". I'm just striving for historical accuracy, and it also makes me fun at parties.

McCarthy will be replaced by a young crazee bomb thrower who'll try to out-crazee the Crazee Caucus, because that's seen as the fastest route to the riches rightwing media promises.

And the constituents of that district will be just as well-served as they were before.

I read that profiles in other places but I think I forgot how to log on every day. And I laugh every single time. It never gets tired. Probly cause I get asked to download an app every day, and refuse cause I’ll forget how to log on within an hour.

I’m still surprised, although I shouldn’t be. He was pretty well neutered of power after his humiliating removal by Matt Gaetz, of all people. Notice how quiet Gaetz has been since then? I think he pissed a lot of people off, and they were either contemplating sanctions against him, or maybe actually conducting an ethics investigation into his sleazy dealings. But McCarthy is a flake and a diminished politician. He will do the deposed Republican Senior Tour. (Ghost) write his memoirs; visit talk shows for a year or two and then take a cushy job at a lobbying firm or “think tank” or whatever politicians do when they go to pasture.

It's always possible that whoever replaces Kevin McCarthy will be worse.

He's from Bakersfield. It's not only possible, it's incredibly likely.

I think it’s even more crimey than Fresno.

I refuse to acknowledge pussy as an insult. Pussies are warm, strong, flexible and capable of giving great pleasure to both those who have them and those fortunate enough to be invited inside one. Kevin has absolutely none of those qualities. He WISHES he was a pussy. He is far lower than that.

Two alternatives:

Chancre, the ulcerous lesion formed on the genitals in the primary stage of syphilis.

Hemorrhoid, asshole adjacent but useless and painful.

Either of those would work. They serve no purpose and can be both painful and embarrassing. Sounds like Kevin!

I've always considered him an asshole, but, once again, assholes provide very vital functions on an individual basis.

i have a screengrab of the 'young guns' book that i send to the economist every time one of these wankers makes the news.

because they thought 'young guns' was a thing and it's delightful to remind them otherwise even 13 years later. also: i am so petty.

I said that Kevin would quit. I wonder if Kathy Abernathy is considering a run for the seat? Kevin doesn't have very long coattails. Otherwise Cynthia Zimmer, the District Attorney for Kern County, could be someone to watch. With a +16 R District, it's difficult to guess which local Democrat would try for the office, but Andrae Gonzales is a possibility.

September 19. 2023 - "I'll never quit". KEVEN.

Remember, Kevin's a Republican. Republicans lie.

Truthfully, I would have quit too if I was in his position. They used, abused and kicked him to the curb.

I sincerely wish Kevin well in his future career with DoorDash, assigned to exclusively serving the needs of the orange shitgibbon.

Remember the guy on The Apprentice Noel Casler said was in charge of changing Trump's diaper? With that Congressional pension, McCarthy would be perfect for that job down at Mar-a-Lago. He wouldn't be dependent on the agreed-upon sums for performing said services.

McCarthy is now wandering off to join Devin Nunes' Cow in doing ... whatever it is former politicians do in Cali when it isn't bloviating on television.

I call bullshit. Republican voters absolutely gave republicans the majority to crash the ship. There's no other reason to vote for such accomplished ship-wreckers (aside from the hatred, but that serves the same goal).

It’s the ONLY reason they vote!

Didn't want to read about Qevin, but re Evan's title:

We were at LL Bean picking out Hanukkah gifts for Mrs Mild to give me (she's not driving, or walking much, until her foot heals from surgery, so stop judging!). We picked out a sweater that looks like nothing I currently own (not black or blue or gray). Sandy the clerk said, "That's a winner".

I had to bite my tongue and not reply: Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

What Eric Swalwell said to infinity about this asshole. Bye, Felicia

Sadly, though, Kev won't even make enough to cover the cost of a plain black cup of coffee if he tries doing Cameos like George Santos.

Sadly, he's walking away with an estimated net worth of $45 million.

Damn. A life of crime actually does pay, contrary to every Scooby Doo episode we watched in our impressionable years.
