By BaxterFritz Mondale is only one of a whole bunch of important people who were born today. But we're not going to list them all, so never mind. Meanwhile, let's celebrate Mr. Mondale's 82nd with some Cogent Cat Observations.
An ankle rub and 20 minutes of deep PURRING to our heroes du jour — the former Capitol Hill staffers of turncoat Alabama Congressman Parker Griffith, who have resigned in the wake of Griffith's jump to the GOP. Wow, guys — in this economy, we cats salute your utter commitment to principle. And may you all find excellent new jobs real soon.
Attention, Sarah Palin (and the Freepers who love you): Mitt Romney's got a book tour, too, and it's taking him to Iowa. We cats cannot wait for the 2012 Republican infighting to begin.
Speaking of Republican infighting — gasp, choke! Embattled Florida party chair Jim Greer has resigned, right on the heels of a Miami Herald story speculating that strong fourth-quarter fundraising would save his job. We cats can only guess that Mr. Greer had gone back to Governor Crist's maxed-out donors, asking them to contribute to the party — and that, being a case of "no there there," this fooled no one. Gee, as if 2009 wasn't bad enough for Gay Charlie — 2010 isn't starting out very well, either. Fun!
Finally, a swipe of the paw and a HISS to Sally Quinn, alleged veteran journalist at The Washington Post, who doesn't know the difference between "lies" and "lays." Ben Bradlee, please do something about this.
Well, we're off to have a little dinner and some micro-brewed beer. Happy birthday, Mr. Vice President.
UPDATE: We cats apologize. The original Jim Greer fundraising story was by Adam Smith of The St. Pete Times, not The Miami Herald. Who are we to argue with someone named Adam Smith?
