I don’t usually write political posts, but perilous times call for extraordinary measures. I loathe the American GOP – a party that’s now gone full MAGA and Fascist – with a burning passion. It needs to be destroyed, so that it may one day be reborn again as a rational party. If I offend any of my readers’ sensibilities, so be it.
Comedian Randy Rainbow is a national treasure, frequently skewering the blatant hypocrisy of politicians and others in hilarious videos. His latest target is the obsequious Kevin McCarthy, who endured 14 humiliating losses before finally winning the Speakership of the U.S. House of Representatives on the 15th vote.
In this video, Rainbow calls out McCarthy and a number of other crazy Republican House members like Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.) and George Santos (N.Y), in “Speaker of the House” a brilliant spoof of the show stopper “Master of the House” from the legendary musical Les Misérables. A great example of his altered lyrics: “Speaker of the House/cunning little chap/covetous, conservative and full of crap. Thirsty as a fish/Quick to compromise/Only took the motherfucker 15 tries.” I love it!

He is awesome, and I couldn’t agree more with you! Desparate times call for desparate measures, and as a country we appear to be half-past desparate!

The video is hilarious. I wish what’s happening with certain politicians who seem to have lost their minds would be funny as well!

I like his stare. There are only a small minority of NZers who vote for the extreme right parties which are comparable with the current Republican Party. Our centre-right wing party is much more similar to the Democrats.

I am with you and your feelings about the Republicans and hope that the trance they are under is lifted. This video though, I am still laughing…

It’s always good to see someone speaking truth to power, especially if that someone can do it with humor. Thanks for sharing, Jeff!

Very clever 👍 when McCarthy started talking about efficiency, I halfway expected him to say “we have to be more efficient at fucking over the American people”
