The GOP's mendacity machine wasted no time in trying to downplay the results of the special Congressional election in Louisiana this weekend.
What's that, you say? You were too busy watching fillies die at the Kentucky Derby (don't get us cats started on that) to pay attention to the latest example of the Republican party's cratering fortunes?
Well, no worries, we'll interrupt our latest catnap to bring you up to date: This Saturday, Democratic State Rep. Don Cazayoux took a Congressional seat that had been in the Republican column for more than 20 years. This is on the heels of the Democrats taking the Illinois House seat that had belonged to former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.
National Republican party officials tried to spin the oodles of money that they'd poured into the race — attempting to tie State Rep. Cazayoux to national Democratic figures such as Senator Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi — as a successful effort to cut into State Rep. Cazayoux's lead.
Hel-LO? A Democratic lead, in a Republican stronghold near Baton Rouge? If that's the case, we can't wait until the upcoming Congressional runoff in Mississippi!
In the meantime, we PURR gently and happily in the direction of State Rep. Cazayoux, U.S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen and the entire Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, for a job well done.
