By ZamboniLabor Day weekend is almost here, and next week's going to be busy. Therefore, we cats are taking a moment to share some assorted political musings now.
So Senator Kennedy's posthumous memoir says that his behavior at Chappaquiddick was inexcusable. Well, of course it was. What amazes us cats is that the right wing still manages to get so worked up about it. Although we're happy to say that our candidate in 1980 had no such awful incident in his past, we don't see how the loss of one life in a car accident, as terrible as it was, compares with, say, invading a country that didn't attack us. Mary Jo Kopechne versus the needless deaths of more than 4,000 U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis? Hm.
Meanwhile, goodness gracious, what's worse? A right-wing religious hypocrite who's shtupping an Argentine woman not his wife, or a lieutenant governor who you think might be gay? Don't ask any South Carolina Republicans. You may not like what you hear.
And then there's Levi Johnston. Ahhhh, Levi, you have made our week. We just can't say the same for our wingnut friends over at Free Republic. They're gamely trying to label you gay because there's talk you'll pose for Playgirl (that's "playgirl," folks). And they dearly wish you'd go away. Don't listen to them.
