Mehlman: Still Among the Missing

By Sniffles

So, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: Do we all know who Saxby Chambliss is?

Yes, aside from the improbably named Republican Senator from Georgia, Saxby Chambliss is that cowardly piece of GOP crap (forgive our language) who won his seat in 2002 by smearing Democratic Senator Max Cleland — a Viet Nam vet and triple amputee — as sympathetic to terrorists.

Now, it appears that Chambliss has admitted that a disgusting slur against gay people, posted on an Internet site, originated in his district office. Oh, and, um — they're "investigating."

Gosh! Are we surprised? Hardly. Chambliss is a Republican. And today the Republican Party is home to a Gubernatorial candidate who forwards racist e-mails, a Senatorial candidate who questions the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and a whole passel of people who are anti-gay rights.

But back to Chambliss, and a question that keeps nagging at us. Where is Ken Mehlman? After all, Chambliss was one of those GOP "stars" whom the Bush White House political team, of which Mehlman was a prominent member, helped elect in 2002. What does the recently self-outed Kenny Boy have to say about the hate spewed by someone in Chambliss' office in Georgia?

We cats think it's simple: Kenny Boy should be called to account for Saxby Chambliss — and all the other disgusting Republican bigots he helped put in office.
