We cats hardly knew what fates we tempted when we wished for Rick "Don't Google My Name" Santorum to pick up a couple of primary/caucus states last night. We said "a couple" because we figured that hoping for all three would be, well, greedy.
But for those of us who love seeing the 2012 Republican clown college running around like chickens with their heads cut off, the results in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado were more fun than a giant catnip kicker (see above). Yum!
Our heads are spinning with election thoughts. So without further ado, here they are:
We find it fascinating that Willard Mitt Romney won Minnesota in 2008 but now comes in third. We're equally thrilled that while he carried 60 percent of the Colorado vote four years ago, he got beat by almost six points there last night. And the vote margin in Missouri was a jaw-dropping 30 points. Hubris, tsk!
Needless to say, how incredibly embarrassing and humiliating for big Willard endorsers Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota) and Roy Blunt (Missouri). Make room for them in the Nikki Haley Club.
We should add, though — because we dislike Pawlenty so much — that with 8,207 votes in Minnesota, Willard did far better in Timbo's home state than Timbo himself did in Iowa after four years of campaigning there. Pathetic.
Willard now has lost five of the first eight clown college contests. We cats find his definition of "inevitable" about as credible as the Bush Administration's definition of "Mission Accomplished."
On the Cute Headline Patrol, Le HuffingtonPost Quebec reports that Santorum's wins have given him a "tour de chapeau." For those of you not into French or hockey, that's a hat trick.
But the best part of this morning's coverage was provided by NPR, which pronounced Ricky's sweep a "three-way."
Ooooh, Ricky, tell us more!
