Cat Fight! Colin Swipes at Dick

By Baxter

In between massages and playtimes at the five-paw cat resort, we vacationing felines have become aware of a brawl that's recently broken out in the Republican Party.

Not content with keeping their political fire fixed on the Obama Administration, the Fightin' Gops now have unsheathed their claws on each other. And we're just sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the spectacle of Cheney v. Powell.

We love this for three reasons. First, the formerly-Grand Old Party continues to be consumed with inside-baseball stuff that has no meaning for the average, non-politically minded American, and no relevance to the upcoming elections in 2010 and '12.

Second, it keeps Dick Cheney in the news. We've already expressed ourselves that the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived (If Indeed He Were a Person) is the perfect anti-role model for voters who are moderate, independent, suburban, Hispanic, female or young — in short, voters that the Republicans have to attract if they hope to survive.

And finally, on that same note, it's a constant reminder that Cheney and the ever-repellent Rush Limbaugh are trying to run one of the nation's most popular Republicans out of his own party.

We PURR at the hapless elephants, who are truly an endangered species. Keep up the good work, fellas!
