Cat Fight! Michael Steele vs. Congressional Republicans

By Baxter

Gee, will Michael Steele survive the weekend?

First, we cats were delighted to hear that the ever-clumsy RNC chair predicted defeat for the Republican Party in 2010. Now, there's a huge kerfuffle over his "book" and, um, the fact that party leaders had no input on it. Ya know... it's Friday night. If they're going to dump him, now is the time.

Because the entertainment just doesn't stop. Steele apparently canceled a media appearance today, claiming an "emergency meeting" at the RNC — but a committee spokeswoman later said it wasn't an emergency. Gosh, guys, can't you even get that straight?

We cats have borne a flurry of Doom-for-Democrats stories lately without comment, because we believe they happen to be overblown. When we look at what's going on in the Republican Party these days — both nationally and, say, in our country's fourth-largest state — we not only know we're right, we're awfully glad we're Not Them.

Bottom line? We PURR.
