Now that the GOP members of the House of Representatives have managed to get their feces in one sock long enough to elect a Speaker, they will be able to get on with their most eagerly awaited activity: the scheduling of Congressional Shoutings.
They used to be called "Hearings," but experience shows that these sessions are less about "hearing" testimony and evidence and more about "shouting" at witnesses in an effort to score points and create media sound bites; therefore, a more appropriate name is "Congressional Shoutings."
If you've ever watched the sober and dignified behavior of Ohio Representative Jim Jordan as he chairs the House Judiciary Committee, or the solemn and courtly manner in which Kentucky Representative James Comer conducts the business of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, you know what I mean.
It's going to be a long couple of years.
Have a good day. More thoughts coming.
