Tidbits and Cat Treats — Republican Lunacy Edition

By Miss Kubelik

The GOP has gone so nutty these days that we cats could use this headline over and over again. Heck, even Chris Matthews sputtered last night on "Hardball" that the 2012 clown college seems like a bunch of goofballs playacting at running for President. (With the possible exception of Mitt Romney, which, of course, must drive the Freepers crazy.)

But every day, our news clips bring us more head-scratching Republican tidbits. To wit:

Newt Gingrich has risen from the dead, avers the too-young-for-his-job Chris Cillizza at The Washington Post. "The recent slew of debates [have worked] in Gingrich's favor," says he. "Gingrich has emerged as a kind of star in these forums... to regularly emerge as a winner in the after-action analyses of the debates." But isn't it worth noting that the next debate isn't until November 9? How will that affect Gingrich's Big Mo? And more important, what's he doing otherwise, organizationally? We cats think he and Callista have been going out for coffee and shopping at Tiffany's. Hm.

Rick Perry says he won't support specialty license plates that feature the Confederate battle flag. "We don't need to be scraping old wounds," Mr. Birther ironically said.

More information has come to light about the terrible suffering Marco Rubio's parents endured to get to America. "On May 18, 1956," POLITICO reports, "Mario and Oriales Rubio walked into the American Consulate in Havana and applied for immigrant visas. The form asked how long they intended to stay in the United States. 'Permanently,' Mr. Rubio answered." Sounds like the typical harrowing, desperate, flee-for-your-life Cuban immigrant experience to us! Is there a bigger fraud in the U.S. Senate today than Marco Rubio?

Speaking of frauds, James Carville is officially "worried" about next year's Presidential election. Ever notice how Carville will freely criticize Democrats, but his wife, Mary Matalin, never deviates from Republican talking points?

Finally, we cats note with satisfaction that the teabagger freshman House members are having trouble raising money. Ha. They blame the system, of course. But we cats say, have we seen a bigger case of buyer's remorse? We PURR.
