A Battle of [Dim]Wits: Chaffetz vs. McCarthy for House Speakership

Am I the only one who finds it interesting that the two of the GOP's most prominent idiots are also the two leading candidates to replace Boehner as Speaker of the House? 

U.S. Republican Representative Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House oversight panel, announced on Sunday he was running for speaker, a bid seen as a long shot that could still stir up the contest to replace John Boehner.Representative Kevin McCarthy, currently the House majority leader, remains the favorite for the speaker position. But many conservatives have reservations about McCarthy and say he does not have enough votes to win.

Chaffetz's idiocy is probably far more forgivable to the Bagger Contingent in the House because all he did was look like a complete fool in his effort to take down Planned Parenthood last week -- most  GOP radicals probably still love the guy because, even though he is profoundly inept, at least he was "fighting the good fight." 

McCarthy, on the other hand, committed the unforgivable gaffe of revealing something that everyone already knew, namely, that the Select Committee on Benghazi is nothing more than a political witch-hunt.  McCarthy also has the Palin-esque quality of constantly mangling the English language, but a flaw like that might actually be appealing to some Baggers, who oftentime prefer leaders who don't talk good.

Anyway, should be an interesting battle.
