Just Another Fine Example of that Excellent Republican "Brand"

By Zamboni

We're rubbing our paws together in quiet feline glee that Representative Vito Fossella of Staten Island is thinking of running for his seat in Congress after all.

A few weeks back, Fossella, a married-with-children "family values" Republican, was arrested for drunk driving in suburban Virginia. Then, he had to confess to having a — shall we say? — "alternate" family when the mother of his illegitimate daughter showed up to bail him out of the hoosegow.

We can think of nothing better than an already embattled Republican Congressional Campaign Committee having to spend money it doesn't have to defend a deeply flawed candidate in a what should otherwise be a safe GOP district.

We PURR in the direction of the pathetic Mr. Fossella, for giving RCCC chair Tom Cole and House Minority Leader John Boehner more reasons to reach for the Alka-Seltzer.
