We cats could spend this entire post on today's Murdoch/Murdoch/Brooks reality show, but instead we think we'll share some random thoughts bumping around in our brains.
We know we've mentioned this before, but with the thermometer creeping past 100 degrees Fahrenheit this week, why aren't Democrats hounding ignorant fools like James Inhofe and other Republicans who build igloos in the winter to deny climate change? Is it because we're intelligent and decent enough to know that one July heat wave does not global warming make? Too bad. Get going!
We think this POLITICO story on the upcoming Ames, Iowa straw poll is a gentle prediction that the eminently unlikable Tim Pawlenty will come in fifth. Based on where things stand today, here's what we're looking at: 1) Bachmann, 2) Paul, 3) Romney, 4) Perry, and 5) Timmy — whom Lassie soon will have to rescue from the bottom of a well.
Why don't pundits understand that the Republican primaries are no longer winner-take-all? They're criticizing Ron Paul's recent big media buy in Nevada and wondering why he's wasting his money. They are silly. With proportional representation, the Paul people obviously are signaling to Mitt Romney that he doesn't own The Silver State. Makes sense to us.
Speaking of Romney, in light of the PPP poll showing Bachmann leading among Republicans nationally, it appears that Mitt's "play it safe" frontrunner strategy is working out really well for him. Yeah. Like phone hacking worked out for News of the World.
And yes, we were pretty riveted to the Murdoch-gate hearings in Parliament today. We found the legendarily hands-on Rupie to be utterly unbelievable, the unctuous James as slithery as a snake, and — Beckers? Well, Beckers should not give up her quest for a good hairdresser. (Or maybe she should call Locks of Love.) Their testimony didn't go badly, and it didn't go well. And therein lies their dilemma.
In the meantime, we cats assume the meatloaf position, close our eyes, and wait contentedly.
