Scrooge, They're Not

By Zamboni

We cats are Scottish and do not admire spendthrifts. But we're completely delighted when it's Michael Steele wasting GOP money in an election year.

In fact, before the vote on the jobs bill — when the mainstream media universally agreed that things were so bad, the Democrats might as well walk around with paper bags on their heads — the Republican Party was dealing with quite a few money messes, and still is. Perhaps now that the balance of the universe has been restored (Scott Brown voted against the filibuster!), lazy journalists will begin to take note.

Specifically, we're talking about Florida. And it's about more than just money. The Grand Old Party's in a bit of a pickle down here, and before we cats quit the state entirely we're taking a lot of satisfaction out of it.

In the shadow of the Rasmussen poll that shows Charlie Crist badly trailing Marco Rubio in the Republican Senate primary, the state GOP is embroiled in a financial scandal. Their former chair, Jim Greer, was forced out, in part, because of it. And now their new chair will have to preside over a formal investigation.

Seems that Mr. Greer was following the Michael Steele Model of Financial Excess. What is it with these people, that they automatically assume they deserve the best at others' expense?

Well, as we cats said, if it's the GOP, we won't complain. Have at it, guys! We're happy if you make yourselves a year older and not an hour richer. We just don't want to hear any more whining about government spending and fiscal responsibility, okay?
