Forget Osama — It's Katrina

By Sniffles

We like Senator Clinton's new "Kitchen" ad.



Now, now, everybody just calm down. This ad is NOT playing "the Osama card." This is a positive ad about why people in Pennsylvania should vote for Senator Clinton tomorrow. And since we're practicing putting videos into our blog, we'll probably post a video for Senator Obama at some point, too.

But back to "Kitchen." The reason we cats like it is that it includes footage from a disaster that — in our view — isn't talked about nearly enough these days: How the Bush Administration left the city of New Orleans to drown after Hurricane Katrina.

In addition to thousands of human beings — most of whom were African American, by the way — Katrina threatened thousands of pets. Many of them were rescued by fabulous organizations like the Best Friends Animal Society — but many died, or were abandoned to die.

Believe us, when it comes to Katrina, We. Cats. Will. Never. Forget.

A soft, grateful PURR to the Clinton campaign for reminding voters of the incredible awfulness of "Brownie" and the whole Bush gang.
