If we cats could drive, we'd head over to the Loudon County, Virginia, Republican headquarters and dump our dirty litter boxes on their desks.
They deserve it — but we have the feeling that they're already getting smacked around by their Republican Governor, who's been forced to denounce a fundraising e-mail that the county party sent yesterday with this image. Yep, that's a bullet hole in President Obama's zombie head.
After his big, embarrassing 2010 goof-up over slavery, Bob McDonnell — who no doubt is dreaming of joining his party's national ticket next year — wants no further accusations of insensitivity hurled his way. He was quick to call the Loudon e-mail "shameful and offensive."
It certainly is. However, so is the Loudon GOP's response. It issued another one of those lame "gee, we're sorry if we did anything wrong" non-apology apologies: "We deeply and sincerely apologize to the President and anyone who viewed the image if that was the impression that was left" (emphasis ours).
They just can't help themselves, can they?
Yes, we know the Freepers and their compatriots will squawk and protest that the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived got caricatured and worse by people who didn't like him. The difference is, when we cats say that somebody ought to be shot, we're truly speaking metaphorically because we don't own any guns. The nutcases on the right wing do.
