The inability of Republicans to quickly elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker had CBS's Steven Colbert agreeing with CNN talking head Chris Wallace's assertion that "such a disaster never would have happened under former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reign. She ruled with an iron fist. Any Democrat who stood in her way would've faced stern consequences. This is the way that Democrats ensure unity within their Party and the country."
"This McCarthageddon, as I call it, is God's punishment for McCarthy's overt hypocrisy," Colbert said. "Democrats are smart enough to keep their hypocrisy covert. That's why they're continuing to win elections."
Wallace gently chided Colbert "for not giving enough credit to us media folks. Without our constant barrage of propaganda disparaging the GOP and praising Democrats the outcomes could well have been very different."
President Biden was less jocular in his assessment, saying "I just think it's really embarrassing it's taking so long. The world's watching while they make fools of themselves. They have no real power. Sen. McConnell (R-Ken) already gave us the $1.7 trillion spending bill. The House won't have anything to do until next September. Anything else they try to pass can be blocked by the Senate or my veto. Their best bet would be to relax and enjoy whatever crumbs we let them have."

Well, dimocraps love dictators so…..
Bull. She caved in to the squads demands and let them run the agenda.
This man could do well as Stalin’s hagiographer.
” The House won’t have anything to do until next September. Anything else they try to pass can be blocked by the Senate or my veto. Their best bet would be to relax and enjoy whatever crumbs we let them have.””
Although satire, and excellent satire at that, I’m totally good with congress relaxing and not doing anything until September.
‘No ticky...no laundry.’
On mental horsepower alone, I don't think she could put on her own shoes.
when the left is pushing for a particular candidate on the right... you know it’s not a good choice for America.
and when you find out that candidate is cozy with the Klaus Schwab and the WEF...
we DEFINITELY do not want that guy ‘helping’ America
“Boobs Mock” ... a great sports name if I ever heard one ...
So Chrissy Wallace thinks Nanzi Polizei was an iron “fister”? That boy is weird.
“boobs”? So Dolly Parton was mocking them?
;)
Thank you for watching Chrissy Wallace & Stevie Colbert so I don’t have to.
Wait for SNL...
Agree completely with Andy.
While this is intended as satire, it is way too close to the reality conservatives have faced in DC for decades.
I’m just here for the boob pics.
Somebody said “boobs”, right?
She was pretty skilled at popping wine bottles. Pouring? Maybe not so much.
I like your post. Did you mean Colbert, or Wallace, or both?
