Tidbits and Cat Treats — Marie Antoinette Edition

By Baxter

We cats are generally pleased with the "debate" that the Republican clown college held last night. Of course, we quibble with CNN's decision to partner with the right half of the rabidly right-wing base of the Republican Party for a television show. But as long as the 2012 candidates are savaging each other while the President barnstorms the country on jobs, we're happy.

Sometime soon, we'll visit our teabagger friends over at Free Republic to see how they feel about last night's big Romney-Perry kerfuffle. In the meantime, here are a few things on our minds today.

We don't know about you, but we cats sure are glad that Dr. Ron Paul isn't our vet.

Of course, how different is cheering for uninsured Americans to die than applauding the fact that Rick Perry has put 234 Texans to death? Get out the guillotines, everybody.

On top of that, the Republicans (except for, ironically, Rick Perry) seem to think that it's better to let young women die of cervical cancer than to ever, ever admit that they'd become a teensy-weensy sexually active. That naughty HPV vaccine might put ideas in their heads! Horrors!

Finally, as bloodthirsty and hypocritical as the Republicans are, we cats are continually amazed at their thin skins. Eric Cantor is wailing about an alleged White House "all or nothing" approach on jobs. Rick Perry tells Michele Bachmann he's "offended" at the thought that he could be bought for $5,000. Bachmann says she's "offended" back. And the famous quitter from Alaska whines about everything.

Boy, they can dish it out, but they sure can't take it. We cats HISS.

UPDATE: Free Republic. We checked. They hate Romney. Perry gives them pause. Every other announced candidate is objectionable for one reason or another. They're all Waiting For Sarah.
