We cats have noticed a trend in the coverage of the RNC's recent travails: that it's an alleged hiccup in what's anticipated to be a good off-year election for the GOP.

You know, we're the first to admit that we're biased, but we're not so sure about that. A whole lot can happen between now and November 2. Witness today's jobs report, for example.

In the meantime, it's instructive to think about what kind of Republican would be coming to Congress should the Democrats suffer losses in the midterms.

For example, look no further than the current members of the Senate GOP caucus. You rarely will find a sorrier collection of twits.

• One has posed nude for a women's magazine.
• One has dementia.
• One is an adulterer and multiple-ethics -violator who tried to buy the silence of his paramour and her spouse.
• One is a Christian-family-values crusader with a penchant for D.C. hookers.
• One is a flip-flopper who said she'd resign and then didn't.
• One cravenly endorsed an absurd lie by the famous quitter from Alaska, that healthcare reform would bring us death panels.
• One was appointed to his office by the number-one RINO in the eyes of the GOP base and the teabaggers.
• Two represent a state with a microscopic population — yet they seek to impose their wingnut policies on a nation of 330 million.

We're sure we've missed some. After all, the boys from Oklahoma probably merit a post of their own. But this short list leaves us cats at a loss as to why the Republicans should be allowed to increase their numbers in the Senate — let alone run it.
