Jordan deserves at least as much embarrassment as McCarthy received during his campaign for the speakership.

Gym Jordan has been a national embarrassment since forever.

But that's us being embarrassed by him. Losing a bunch of speakership votes embarrasses him.

He deserves far more than that. Such as getting a cactus shoved up his ass once an hour every hour.
