Tidbits and Cat Treats — Republican Screw-Up Edition

By Sniffles

We cats made a point of buying some Girl Scout cookies today. Why? Because we wanted to show support for a venerable community organization that's recently — and absurdly — been insulted by right-wing Republican idiots.

So, since Republicans have been spending the week making absolute fools of themselves, for your Friday entertainment here are a few other examples of same. Enjoy!

The Washington Post has given Virginia's Governor, the now-famous "Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell, its "Worst Week in Washington" award for his pre-abortion ultrasound bill. Frantically trying to repair the damage, Transvaginal Bob and his Republican minions in Richmond are claiming that they had no idea their bill would have mandated such an invasive procedure. You know what we think? After this debacle — and the previous one in which he pretended slavery didn't exist — Transvaginal Bob has a real problem caring about people who don't look like him.

Willard Mitt Romney gave what was supposed to be a hugely important policy speech in an empty football stadium today. This guy's been running for President for a hundred years. Why don't his folks know how to advance an event?

An Oklahoma Congressman said it would be a good idea to kill a couple of U.S. Senators in order to get a budget passed. And Republicans think Barack Obama is the dangerous one? (But don't worry — Jeb Bush only finds the Republicans' rhetoric a little troubling.)

Finally, on the subject of dangerous people, one of the founders of the teabagger movement has stepped down after his felony arrest for trying to carry a Glock pistol on an airplane. And he's all weepy that New York City officials haven't returned his gun. Returned it?? Whatever happened to "my cold, dead hand"?
