after McCarthy was presented with an open letter accusing him of "misdeeds," probably over his affair with Ellmers (R-NC and too dumb to live). That affair has hit both the far right and left wing sites today and once that happens, he doesn't have a prayer, his feet of clay have become just too public.

Don't worry, they'll find some other semi incoherent, functionally illiterate teabagger.

North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones (R) sent a letter to the No. 4 House Republican saying any candidate for leadership who has committed any "misdeeds" since joining Congress should "withdraw" from the contest.
