  It's sorta funny that the other guy lost the vote and instead of pulling a Kevin McCarthy and going "how about now?" 16 times, the guy took his hat out of the ring and before you know it bam -- there's a new speaker.

  Nobody else likes it but this combination of politics and anime makes me laugh every time.

    Haha same! But Jim Jordan before said that he didn't even really want to be the speaker of the house.
