http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/kevin-mccarthy-enters-rehab-after-admitting-struggles-with-nouns-verbs<snip>
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has entered rehab to deal with his struggles with nouns and verbs, an aide to the congressman has confirmed.
According to the aide, McCarthy abruptly dropped out of the race for Speaker of the House because his difficulties with those two parts of speech had spiralled out of control.
A source familiar with McCarthys struggles, however, cast doubt on that official story. Its not just nouns and verbs, the source said. Its adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns. Kevins going to be in rehab for awhile.
In a brief statement to reporters, McCarthy offered a blunt assessment of his situation. It bad, he said. But soon it be less badder.
