Tales of "dead frog" poetic license at EmptyWheel.

 Link. It speaks for itself.

UPDATE: While not adept at discourse about Republican inability to find a fit Speaker after the Gaetz putsch against McCarthy, these two links do note the dead frog; here and here. Pushing readers to push their Republican Reps to fix the broken status quo where business - real government business - can again be done might be a better use of Gary's influence among his readers, he makes his decisions independent of my counsel; so bless his also waving around the dead frog; where, mixing metaphors, Marcy Wheeler had likened it - this frog waving - to fiddling while Rome burns. 

WAVE THAT FROG! WAVE THAT FROG! Doing so will fix all that is needed by the nation. Gary does not even get into whether HIS MN CD6 beloved Rep., Mr. Emmer, deserves the Speakership, or whether Mr. Emmer is likely to get it. 

Gary voted for the guy. Each time. Election and reelection. 

I didn't.

Realistically, Tom Emmer third in line to the Presidency is not only absurd as a thought, it is scary.
