Kevin McCarthy is poised to become the new Speaker of the House, with the resignation of the Ohio Ooompa Loompa, John Boehner. Everyone has been talking about how much of a shoe-in this guy is for the position as speaker, despite the fact he has had no real accomplishments or public exposure as of yet. If you are wondering who this guy is, you aren’t alone. I was unaware he existed until recently as well.
Despite the positive press for Kevin McCarthy, he has a pretty big liability as a prospective Speaker of the House. The problem is that he doesn’t seem to be able to actually speak properly.
This guy makes George W Bush sound like Patrick Stewart narrating Shakespeare. Rachel Maddow did a bit of a mashup video of his recent public speaking snippets, and seriously you have got to watch and listen. There ARE subtitles too, in case they are needed. They aren’t necessarily there because he is hard to hear, but more because he is literally so bad at speaking you end up questioning yourself if you are misunderstanding him.
This is probably going to be the new Republican Speaker of the House. Lets let that sink in.
Derrrrr….
Rather than be Speaker of the House, he should go back to high school and learn how to use correct grammar.
Nah. He’s a puppet and needs to work on his oral reading skills.
The man is another IDIOT ! At least Yogi Berra was Funny !
And Yogi KNEW what he was trying to say.
Nobody goes to being honest in public speaking anymore. It’s too crowded.
WTF?
This has nothing to do with Common Core, does it? Wow. Where did he go to skool?
Well, stand-up comedians have been waiting for another GW, looks like they gots one. May have to go to Hungria to catch him though…
Oh Gawd.. Please no. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse.
there’s no saying oh this was just a slip of the tongue. this idiot was READING those remarks, surely he had time to check what he was about to say before he went out in front of the reporters. and his admission about benghazi, priceless. we all knew this was what they were doing, now we have (finally) an admission.
yeah he is reading from a script… I think a congressional aid is laughing herself silly right now.
If you’re a Republican, do you really want this guy to be your speaker? As an American, I really DON’T want this moron to be Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Well, they didn’t seem to mind Dubya much..
Dubya’s mistakes were kind of funny and amusing.
I especially enjoyed it when he talked about “strategery.”
Stringing together a coherent, understandable sentence is apparently not in the GOP Congressional job description for potential Speakers. But let’s give the guy a break, English is obviously not his native language.
From clips on TV this past week,
We have a new linguistic freak;
I don’t like to grouse,
But watch out, O House:
It’s plain your new speaker can’t speak.
He’s perfect. With an IQ to match the average IQ of his party. They will love him, trust me.
This idiot just reads whatever is put in front of him. So to have some fun I wish his speech writers would write ” I’m a stupid fuken idiot.” Dollars to donuts he would repeat the words verbatim.
The GOP clown car is now an Amtrak train…
God help us from these ignorant rightwing nuts.
ONG. The level of stupidity just keeps getting higher and higher. This guy 2nd in line to POTUS? I’m moving to the Azores
BS! Let’s get this guy out NOW.
BERNIE SANDERS IS THE REAL DEAL! He is NOT taking corporate or bankers money and is gathering the people for a political revolution! We sorely need this now………..Please check him out and SHARE!!
jesus christ! shoeducker bush reincarnated.
Where’s Dan Quayle when we need him?
I really want to hear his thoughts on maps in the Iraq such like as.
He sounds like the male version of Sarah Palin.
Stay tuned for another episode of REPUGNICANS: Imbeciles Ascending, right after this word from corporate sponsors
I love political reality tv!
“untrustable” This man makes Palin sound intelligent.
This guy is a freaking DUMB S ! Who did he blow to get this appointment ?
I am sorry to admit that Kevin M is from my state. But, really, southern California is like another state, mostly desert, as opposed to the stunningly beautiful Northern California. Bakersfield is the home of Buck Owens and his Buckaroos, true. So he has named a post office, actually changed the name and what else? So sorry guys.
I am in shock. I am stunned. I am in mourning. There is a high probability that my country’s highest legislative body might elect someone who is seriously mentally impaired to the most difficult position in the country, If you include all of the candidates who are trying to become the Republican candidate for president of the United States, and now this man, is there one Republican with sufficient intelligence to become Speaker of the House? This is a national disgrace and a national disaster. Bakersfield, you have not done yourself proud.
He seems to be having trouble reading his speech to the point that it affects the meter, tone and emphasis of his speaking. I wonder if he practices beforehand? Though I think his “Benghazi” admission is an actual admission. I think he’s saying their “due diligence” showed that she is untrustworthy. Not that they caused her to appear that way. His way of speaking just sucks.
He comes off like some kind of lackey or disposable GOP red shirt.
can you say …puppet
That would make him the POTUS if the president and the vice president cannot. I believe if Obama is impeached, this would disqualify the vice president.
That would be incorrect. Impeachment of the President requires a simple majority by The House (like a Grand Jury). This is followed by The Senate having a trial and must convict by 2/3 of the voting Senators to force him out of office. Bill Clinton was Impeached by The House of Rep, but not convicted by The Senate. If the President is Impeached and Convicted, The Vice President becomes President.
Hey all you leftists…Thanks for your help… Conservatives hate him too!
Hmmm… this moron reminds me of someone. Who was it that used to speak such gobbledygook that there were daily calendars with a new malapropism for every day. It’s funny that we are told that McCarthy will be second-in-line for the presidency. Surely people remember “Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” and “”I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.” and “You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.” and …
I just got to “untrustable”! I love it!
wait . . . what?
I’m sorry . . . what did you say?
oh, forget it; my brain hurts too much
