Anybody wanna start a betting pool on the next Speaker? Nancy Pelosi showed the nation that a woman knows how to get things done, working with both sides of the aisle — in this case, both the lunatic Republicans and the spineless Republicans — so I'm going with Margie. MTG! MTG! MTG!
“Why didn’t you save us from imploding? Now we REALLY hate you, and will foist the most loathsome imbecile we can find on you” is such a textbook GOP train of thought when it comes to Democrats, I wouldn’t be surprised if Richard Hanania is the next Speaker.
All fine choices. Dunno how it could be limited to just three.
That said, who wouldn’t like to see Fulton County (GA) Inmate No. P01135809 as Speaker? What with all his trials (including the currently ongoing on in which he said he would testify even there’s nothing for he can testify) taking up much of his time, his appearances would be relatively limited.
If appointed, I’d expect his next thing would be pardoning himself even from the state actions and shutting down the J6 case -- which of course would be DOA in the Senate.
Of course, it’s going to be even worse between now and January 2025 than if Gaetz didn’t play the (statutory rapey) BSD, but there you go. That genie isn’t going back into the bottle. What a moron...
"This approach would have the added appeal of making child molestation seem less toxic, like something a Republican could bounce back from."
"It may seem an impediment that Fogel is still in prison but, given the possibility that their 2024 presidential candidate will be, too, Republicans may see this as an opportunity to normalize that as well."
Isn’t it time for a Real American, and Some Bum Off The Street is a Real American, so he has my vote. Judging by today’s NYT piece, Rudy is inching ever closer to being Some Bum Off The Street, ergo Rudy for Speaker? A vote for Rudy is a vote for Boehner-style day-drinking leadership.
Taylor Swift. And I'm not kidding. The Republican party would immediately gain zillions of adherents, and putting her in the Speaker's chair would automatically make her part of the establishment, and thus turn her into a big-corporations-and-private-health-care-are-really-OK-when-you-think-about-it shill. Eventually she'd get tired of the gig, but by then the purpose would have been achieved.
These are all excellent suggestions. Since the purpose of any Speaker approved by the Freedom Fringe would be to shut down the government without actually saying so, and since bladder control is vastly overrated in a politician, I vote for random crazy bum. However, you did mention Alan Keyes in your Sheriff Clarke intro, and he's an intriguing choice if for no other reason than he was the inspiration for kung fu monkey's 27% crazification factor.
You don't have to be a member of the House to be speaker, but do you have to be alive? I don't see any such requirement, and if enough Republicans open their eyes they would see their perfect candidate -- Rush Limbaugh. Each House session would have to begin with a seance, but this move could really drive the libs, feminazis and other sane people crazy (which is the purpose of governing from the right, isn't it?).
How about that ham sandwich everybody's always talking about indicting? It would drive the Muslims crazy, which for all good Republicans is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
Hear me out. I have two poodles. One is as sweet and gentle and as easy to live with as can be. The other is demanding, yappy, impatient, self-absorbed, and occasionally and without antecedent, bites. I nominate the second one. As a bonus, he naps a lot.

I think Roy ought to be speaker. I've always felt that REBID should be read into the Congressional record.
I have no opinion (insert HA!) but
“The Only Law West of the Anacostia”
wins the day!
2 marks!
(and good to know the boss ain't forgot his old stompin' swamps)

Does it even have to be a person? If not how about Speaker Package of Fudge Rounds?

AI Tom Hanks is the obvious choice. He's already doing dental insurance ads, seems like a natural next step.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend: Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
(The only man Republicans actually obey. Besides, who said he had to be American?)

Gaetz as Butthead and McCarthy as Beavis:
M: Whaddaya mean you're gonna vote me out, butt-munch?
G: Huh-huh, huh - yeah. You suck!
M: No. YOU suck, you douchenozzle! You think you can take me? Well, BRING IT!
G: Huh-huh, oh, it's brought.
