Competition among Republicans for the Weekly Sack of Shit Award is always contentious. They continue to up their game and we have to leave efforts unrecognized that well deserve mention. This week it was a battle between Kevin McCarthy and Madison Cawthorn.
The lines were clear. McCarthy deserved consideration because the power of his position results in greater impact--the efficacy index--but Cawthorn grovels better than anybody and seems to go out of his way to do it, making him the clear shit-eating leader.
Madison's predecessor. Mark Meadows, went down on his knees before John Boehner before disgracing himself as a treasonous Trump hireling, making us wonder if they're still making moonshine in them North Carolina mountains or if they switched to meth.
Anyway, we're going with McCarthy this week for his Trump obeisance. He set up Nancy Pelosi by nominating two Trump supporters to an investigative committee when they should have been recused out of hand for their records of partiality, implication and ignorance.
Trump has no legal role in the government anymore. He never did but, when he was in office you could have made the case. This means McCarthy's gambit was more disenfranchising than the average Republican effort at negating the constitutional rights of citizens.
