(Yawn.) One more 100,000-person rally.
Oh — excuse us. We just woke up from our latest Sunday afternoon nap to hear that Senator Obama has drawn another record crowd, this time in Denver (again).
We almost, but not quite, feel sorry for Republicans today. (Accent on the "not quite." It's been a rough eight years.) It's not just because Obama-Biden are holding steady in the polls — and not just because the Democratic nominee is continuing to attract the kind of throngs that usually only turn out for Madonna or Springsteen. It's this: The MSM and the Internet are awash in buzz this weekend about McCain-Palin/GOP infighting. Whee!
We cats are particularly intrigued by the "Palin-as-diva" backbiting. This isn't because we care about Sarah Palin — because we don't. In fact, we're counting the hours until Election Day, after which we presume we won't have to think about her for awhile. Rather, we're agog with speculation about who in GOP circles is pushing these anti-Witch of Wasilla stories to the media.
Face it, somebody is. Somebody deep inside the McCain campaign, or inside the Republican National Committee. Example: How did Politico break the $150,000-clothing story? Who was their source? They never exactly said.
We cats think that someone in the RNC who likes, say, Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee or Haley Barbour — or any Republican other than Palin in 2012 — cattily called up Politico's Jeanne Cummings to deliciously backstab the Governor of Alaska. Hey, it's the Bush Doctrine — preemptive strike!
And it continues. This is not a happy Republican Party we're dealing with here. In fact, Karl Rove himself has pronounced it "sad."
Gee, this is fun. As we cats say, meow, meow, meow.
