The Other Rick

By Sniffles

We cats just want to point out that we called Herman Cain the GOP's new flavor of the week well before the famous quitter from Alaska did. And, unlike the quitter, we got his name right.

Today, however, it seems that the Republicans' new taste sensation is a big (high-calorie, of course) bite of Chris Christie. Gah. We can't go anywhere on our cable TV dial today without seeing the New Jersey Governor, looming large.

Of course, this will continue until the pundits either talk themselves out or finally understand that the nutcase Republican base will nix Christie faster than you can say "Get your fat butt back to Jersey and lower my damn taxes, you blowhard!" (Seriously. Someone said that very thing on Free Republic yesterday.)

Meanwhile, nobody is paying much attention to Rick "Don't Google Me" Santorum, which doesn't surprise us because the very mention of his name probably drives the TV gabfests' ratings down. But we cats think that, for the incredibly limited resources he has, Mr. Man On Dog is probably running the best campaign. He has a strategy. He's sticking to it. He's slowly moving up in the polls. And he may even be poaching another candidate's staff.

Our only questions at this point are whether his money holds out, and whether another Bachmann-like phoenix rises close to the Iowa caucuses and steals his support.

On the other hand, he may also want to stop fighting with voters. And, oh, yes — eating phallic food.
