They're congresscritters: everyone has skeletons.
McCarthy pulled out because he was about to get spanked on the votes.
Which is the same reason Bonehead bailed out: if they held a vote, he was gone whether he wanted to be or not.
Getting voted out as Speaker in Congress is about like going into general population in prison after getting a rep as an informant.
And crying and wetting yourself isn't much of a defense, which pretty well undercuts Bonehead's entire repertoire of responses.
Holy $#!^! McCarthy withdraws from Speaker's race!

Congressman Chaffetz is also making some noise in his campaign for Speaker. He's got the stones and the vertebrae, and would drive the lefties batshit nuts.
Plus, he's the guy who the Secret Service built a nasty little dossier on, and then leaked it in ways that make Snowden and Assange jealous. It was amusing enough when he was just Chairman of Oversight. I can only imagine the madness if he were Speaker.

What the hell is it with both parties deciding its time to elect a new population?
