Now is an absolutely PERFECT time to release any personal revelations that are potentially embarrassing, but have a short half-life when it comes to public disclosure. By the time anybody notices, you can go I revealed that myself, you know. I don’t see why we have to keep dredging up this stuff over and over and over again. Seriously! It can work like a charm.

PS: No, I don’t have a candidate for Speaker of the House in mind.
Come, I will conceal nothing from you: the Export-Import Bank is squarely in the middle of things that I typically go rah-rah over out of a sense of solidarity with the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. I can’t keep track of everything, after all*. But apparently this is making people sit up and blink:
House Majority Leader-elect Kevin McCarthy says Congress should let the Export-Import Bank expire, the biggest blow yet to the imperiled subsidy agency whose charter expires this fall.
On “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace asked McCarthy if he agrees with “conservatives who say that the Export-Import Bank is a form of crony capitalism and it should be put out of business — allowed to expire.”
I forget who said this first**, but fear really is a wonderful motivator. Continue reading New House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy… wants to kill the Export-Import Bank.
As the timestamp shows, we actually had this interview earlier in the month; given that Rep. McCarthy has been doing a series of posts about his road trips on behalf of candidates this election season, I decided that it was long past time that I got the interview actually up. In it we talk about the general details of recruitment, and how it’s been going this cycle.
