Episode #107 of the Countdown podcast is up. The title is so long that it won’t fit as a subtitle to this diary/post/story/article/whatever.

BIGGEST SCHLAPP SCANDAL SINCE WILL SMITH OBSCURES SPEAKER RACE A-Block (1:40) Kevin “Oceans 11” McCarthy is overshadowed by the Daily Beast report that CPAC lynchpin and MAGA Caucus inspiration Matt Schapp has been accused of “sustained and unwanted and unsolicited” sexual groping by a man working for Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign. The Schlapp story overshadowed what should’ve been the real headline: Congressman Don Bacon floated, on Fox News no less, a plan to offer the Democrats improved committee ratios and other procedural (but not insignificant) goodies in exchange for support for McCarthy because the GOP is going to have to be bipartisan to get anything done and it might as well start now.

But at least half a dozen other Republicans stepped on rakes. One of them led to the House breaking out in chants of “Ha-keem Ha-keem” and another is as remarkable a diatribe as I’ve ever heard in politics.

I don’t put much stock in Ali Alexander, but he accused Marjorie Taylor Greene of an unspecified crime in Georgia and went deeply misogynistic to insult her. Get your popcorn. B-Block (15:31) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY

(16:57) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The January 6 Presidential Citizen Medals vie for news space with a wrongful death suit against Trump, a sexual harassment suit against Rudy, and Prince Harry’s Frozen Junk

(1953) IN SPORTS: You can use the word miracle: Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin is moving his limbs and asking for scoreboard updates, and Alex Rodriguez may have gotten caught shoveling about shoveling

(22:02) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Conservatives blast Hannity, Bothsidesism in the House, and Joe Rogan is the dumbest guy on the planet. Again. Still. Forever. C-Block (28:33) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Sunday would’ve been Elvis Presley's birthday so it’s time to play it again: not only did I — at age 18 — actually do a radio commercial for an Elvis Presley Concert that he never lived to see, but the tape of it still exists!

Well, I think the GOP did more damage today than Keith. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
