Obama Shakes Chavez's Hand, World Spins Off Axis and Hurtles Into Sun

By Baxter

It's always a treat when the Republicans give us reason to use this picture.

Today, we have a number of Grand Old Party members to thank for the occasion, but we guess we'll single out the ethically challenged former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, for inspiring our collective yawn.

President Obama is making nice to the enemies of America! Mr. Gingrich groused on this morning's news shows.

You know what we cats have to say to all the Republican huffing and puffing over Chavez? BFD. (That means "big feline deal.") Get over it, guys. A new day has dawned — and even though the election was almost six months ago, you have yet to come to grips with it.

But we also send a big HISS to Mr. Gingrich for his gratuitous little swipe at former President Jimmy Carter. Mr. Gingrich wouldn't know a Nobel Prize if he tripped over it. And he apparently hasn't the remotest idea that the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt that President Carter brokered is still going strong after 30 years.

We'll take peace over warmongering, any time!
