Tidbits and Cat Treats — Post-bin Laden Edition

By Zamboni

Wow! We cats are happily settling into a well-deserved, relaxing weekend, after an unprecedented whirlwind of long-form birth certificates, Osama killings and WHCD jollies. Meanwhile, we have a few observations.
 
We heard a brilliant comment from a caller to The Diane Rehm Show this morning. She wanted to know why Republicans and teabaggers doubt President Obama's citizenship and bin Laden's death when they didn't question the Bush Administration for a moment. We'll take a moment now to let that profound thought sink in.

(Pause.)

So now we know what Republican albino Mike Pence was going to announce the other day when he was "Penced" by the Obama Administration. (That is, he was forced to cancel because Barack Obama killed Osama bin Laden.) He's going to run for Governor! Oh, hooray. Said the Planned-Parenthood-hating Pence, "Those of you that [sic] know me know that I fight for what I believe in. Well, I believe in Indiana." No, Congressman: You believe in running for President when there's no incumbent.

We cats had a debate last evening as to from whence the execrable "Bush feels ignored" story sprang. One of us thought that the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived truly exhibited some class by declining President Obama's invitation to Ground Zero yesterday, and that the story was shopped by weaselly cretins like Ari Fleischer. Another of us averred that the Worst Person, true to character, didn't want to trouble himself to show up because — being the shallow and empty individual he is — he honestly doesn't care. Yes, we cats know that he'll probably be in New York come September. However, we still think that, after that awful "where are the WMD?" gag video, Bush is a man who can be touched by nothing.

Finally, we cats are amused and satisfied by the polls showing that birtherism is withering on the vine. Still, we'll be interested to see whether, and how much, the clown college that passes for the 2012 Republican Presidential field panders to the idiots who refuse to be convinced. And by the way, has any journalist asked the repellent Congresswoman Jean Schmidt, who whispered to a teabagger that she agreed with her birtherism, to comment on the long-form certificate? Just wondering.
