Did you know that every time we cats groom ourselves, the little scratchy papillae on our tongues catch and pull out loose hairs? Well, those papillae are going to have to do double-duty now, because tonight we feel like tearing our hair out.
Chris Cillizza's to blame. It's hard for us to believe that in this revolting era of teabaggery, political writers like him dare to pen pieces with headlines like "Did Jack Conway Go Too Far?"
Cillizza — who we've always felt is a young man with a lot to learn — clearly has no political memory. Not only are the Republicans way over the top in their recent rhetoric — they've been outrageous and disgusting for a long, long time.
Chris doesn't seem to remember Jesse Helms' racist "white hands" ad against Harvey Gantt. And perhaps he has trouble recalling the despicably slanderous campaign in 2002 against Max Cleland, a triple amputee war hero whom Saxby Chambliss tarred as a traitor. Compared to those egregious (and, unfortunately, successful) efforts, Jack Conway's latest commercial about the two-faced Rand Paul is positively tame.
We cats are tired of Democrats being criticized when they don't respond, and then criticized when they do. And we're tired of lazy journalists who don't do their homework. We SNARL at Chris Cillizza. No scratchy kisses for him.
