Elizabeth Warren Got Off Easy

By Sniffles

Humph. We thought it was bad enough when a Republican Congressman accused consumer protection watchdog Elizabeth Warren of lying at a House oversight subcommittee hearing last month. But then, Republicans — being famous for not giving a darn about ordinary Americans — aren't favorably disposed toward Ms. Warren, are they?

Still, it was a breach of Congressional decorum, and that guy from North Carolina should be ashamed of himself.

But now it appears the Australian Senate has proved itself even worse. Watch what one Liberal Senator does to Penny Wong, Minister for Climate Change and Water, who doesn't cotton to being interrupted while she's testifying.

Guys, we're going to have to put our paws down on this one: We cats are the only ones who get to "meow." You were way out of line, and you owe Ms. Wong an apology. In the meantime, we HISS at you!
