Actually, as we have learned this year, Kevin McCarthy is made of wood

Jeffries also led his own caucus in voting unanimously to oust McCarthy. California Representative Adam Schiff explained why succinctly. “Kevin McCarthy is not trustworthy.” 

All of which constitutes the final humiliating episode in the pratfall speakership of McCarthy, a legislator who seems to lack both a spine and basic quantitative aptitude. Watching him try to get the House to do any damn thing is a masterclass in unmastery, a virtuoso display of self-immolation. How did this man stumble into power? What did the country do to deserve him? The answer to that last question is that while the country doesn’t deserve McCarthy, the Republican Party does.

GET ME REWRITE: New York Times reporter Peter Baker ignores Jennifer Rubin's admonition to mainstream media

 

Not a single mention of the Freedom Caucus.  Yet another example of journalistic malpractice.

Headline:  New York Times, 10/1/2023

Here's what Rubin wrote in a recent subscriber-only op-ed.

If possible, the Republican Party has descended further into chaos, conspiracy-mongering and contempt for the intelligence of the American people. While mainstream media outlets follow the latest shiny object the GOP throws in their path (e.g., Hunter Biden’s indictment, a bogus impeachment inquiry), consider how far removed from normal, responsible governance House Republicans have strayed. We’ve become so accustomed to their antics that the extent of their irresponsibility and sheer lunacy often gets overlooked. And, sadly, the mainstream political media does not level with Americans that Republicans’ conduct is unprecedented.  [emphasis added]
