I keep hearing pundits say, "Boy, I bet the eight who threw McCarthy out regret it now," and I keep wondering why they think that. Aren't they getting exactly what they want or think they want? They couldn't shut the government down, so they shut themselves down, and if they can keep doing that they eventually shut everything down. The happy eight!
