Steve Benen’s rant concerning the acceptance of a huge donation by disgraced for RNC member Steve Wynn by a Republican House group headed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) cross-breeds into whimsy. First, the end of the rant:
And yet, here we are, watching Kevin McCarthy praise and thank Steve Wynn — even vowing to work with him again in the near future — as if the sexual misconduct allegations are simply less important than Republicans’ quest for power.
Quest for Power. Yeah.
Who here remembers the movie Quest For Fire (1981)? I think someone could do a screamingly funny parody of that film as a simple one minute video, with Quest For Power as the title.
Incidentally, one of my co-workers at the time (F. W. Woolworth’s, for those who were wondering) reported she heard a wee little voice ask, What are they doing, Mom? at a rather inopportune moment during that movie.
