Goodness gracious, but Allen West is so — emotional.
Should he even be in Congress? He doesn't seem to be able to handle such an important job. Or is he unstable? Maybe, like so many men, he can't deal with conflict. Perhaps he should just stay home and take care of the children, instead of trying to represent Florida's 22nd district.
What other conclusions can we cats come to, when — after a speech by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the House floor — "Colonel West" explodes like a child denied candy in a grocery store?
Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz stuck to policy matters. In reply, West hurled personal invective. Ms. Wasserman Schultz, he screamed in an e-mail, is "vile," "despicable" and "not a Lady" (punctuation his).
Oooh, that last one hurts!
In the end, this whole affair will probably be laughed off as a shouting match between two highly partisan members from neighboring districts. But in reality, West's tantrum is the latest example of the GOP's ongoing, destructive and ultimately hateful campaign to de-legitimize the opposition. We cats hate this. We HISS.
