Tidbits and Cat Treats (Friday Edition)

By Zamboni

So that principled conservative, Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, has caved and decided to accept stimulus money for his cash-strapped, undereducated and unemployed constituents after all. We cats couldn't wait to see what the right-wing nutjobs at Free Republic had to say about that.

Before, Sanford was a Freeper hero. Now, he's a goat. "RINO!" screams one. "Just another politician with no cojones." And those are just the first few comments we've read.

It'll be interesting to see how a party that's fixed so many of its hopes on a gaggle of untried governors will fare. Already their expectations have been somewhat dashed. First, there was Bobby Jindal's laughable "Republican Response" to President Obama's address to Congress a few weeks ago. Then, people started realizing Tim Pawlenty's no-win situation with the Minnesota Senate race. And now, Sanford.

Gee, what else can happen? Like, will we find out that family-values icon Sarah Palin knew all along that Bristol and Levi were having sex?

Nah... could never happen. Could it?
