By BaxterWe cats are watching the impromptu lake on our street slowly drain away — while Washington and other points north are bracing for a record-breaking wall of snow. (Silver lining: Maybe Congress will be forced to pass healthcare reform, because no one will be able to leave.) So since the weather outside is frightful, here are a few thoughts on current events to pass the time.
Our friends at Politico have touted the following screaming headline for the last day: "Monica's Back — Says Clinton Lied." With all due respect to President Clinton, whom we love, we'd like to know why this is news.
We also are quite fond of Howard Dean, but fear we must part ways with him on the healthcare bill. The good Dr. Dean was Governor of a very small state with a legislature that could not possibly have compared with the intractability and polarization of the current U.S. Congress — so we question his appreciation of how complicated and difficult all this is. But at the same time we're happy to report that unlike many of our ideological friends on the left, we don't feel the need to agree with our heroes 100 percent of the time.
Does the famous quitter from Alaska ever finish anything? Now it's her alleged vacation that she's bailing out on. And by the way, since she's making so much money from her so-called "book," can't she afford a new sun visor?
We HISS and SNARL at MSNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan for channeling Glenn Beck this morning. Dylan, you owe an apology to Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. We dump our dirty litter boxes all over your collection of Savile Row suits.
And finally, here's a note to everybody else in Talking Head World on cable TV: Before you start jumping all over President Obama for the climate change deal he reached in Copenhagen today, remember that the Bush Administration wouldn't even have been there.
