The CSPAN cameras, unencumbered by rules because the House hasn\u2019t been able to adopt rules, have roamed the floor of Congress, catching amazing scenes of politics in action. <\/p>\n<p>On Friday night, we saw Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) in a last ditch effort to persuade Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) to vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as Speaker of the House and finally end this farce. He failed. Gaetz voted \u201cpresent\u201d and McCarthy, on the 14th ballot, fell short again.<\/p>\n<p>Then, something even more extraordinary: <\/p>\n<p>McCarthy marched up the aisle and confronted Gaetz, who was sitting next to a smirking Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), another member of the \u201cNever Kevin\u201d coalition. Fingers were pointed. It was hard to read lips, but the message from McCarthy seemed to be: \u201cWe had a deal.\u201d Gaetz was changing the deal. A shout in the back, a little bit of jostling. Was this going to end up in a fistfight?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/speaker-4.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rep.-elect Ricchard Hudson pulls back Rep.-elect Mike Rogers during a tense conversation between republicans.\" class=\"wp-image-25275121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/speaker-4.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/speaker-4.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/speaker-4.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Rep.-elect Richard Hudson pulls back Rep.-elect Mike Rogers during a tense conversation between republicans.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was an incredible scene. It was also childish, idiotic, petulant \u2014 pick your adjective. For what possible reason did this egomaniac decide to torpedo a late-night vote after he called McCarthy \u201cSpeaker-elect\u201d earlier in the evening? \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Especially because Gaetz shortly after reportedly agreed to a \u201cdeal\u201d and the vote went to Round 15 as the clock struck midnight.<\/p>\n<p>Now Kevin McCarthy, after this epic disaster, has finally become speaker.\u00a0Yay, we guess.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the divisions displayed this week make it look pretty unlikely the tiny Republican majority will be able to pull off most of the goals that the holdouts and the regulars\u00a0<em>agree<\/em>\u00a0on. Especially since we know McCarthy already made concessions that made his speakership weaker, and the position of the saboteurs stronger. What exactly did Matt Gaetz get for his theatrics? We\u2019ll find out soon.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Republicans can finally conduct oversight hearings and investigations.

Maybe so, but that\u2019ll still require GOP unity on some less-than-ideal proposal \u2014 because if the standoff goes on too long, \u201csoft\u201d Republicans will break and force some deal that protects\u00a0<em>their<\/em>\u00a0interests: It\u2019s not just this week\u2019s holdouts who can milk their leverage.<\/p>\n<p>And the GOP\u2019s best chance, when push comes to omnibus shove, may be simply to keep the government funded with continuing resolutions that basically retain current spending levels \u2014 but even that will require more unity than we\u2019ve seen so far.<\/p>\n<p>The last two Republican speakers wound up fleeing the job for excellent reasons.
