Just because the Republican Presidential primaries are over, don't think that the GOP clown car has stopped rolling.
For one, we cats can claim our own Prince William County, Virginia, as proud home of one of the Republican Party's most clownish clowns, Delegate Robert Marshall. This right-wing nutjob has had a really tough last few days, and we invite all of you to send him crying towels.
First, on Tuesday little Bobbie lost Virginia's Republican Senate primary to George "Macaca" Allen, by an utterly squishworthy margin. Allen — the man who publicly insulted a dark-skinned campaign operative on (oops!) that operative's home video, and who subsequently was booted from the Senate by Virginians who don't like their politicians mean — took 65 percent of a rain-drenched, low-turnout vote, while poor little Bobbie only got 7 percent.
Now, the Richmond Circuit Court has appointed to the district bench Tracy Thorne-Begland, an openly gay prosecutor whose nomination little Bobbie helped scuttle in the Virginia legislature last month. Sure, it's a temporary appointment, up for grabs as of the start of the next legislative session — but we cats can't think of a bolder political "nanny nanny boo boo" (unless it's the White House's move on immigration today, ha).
And what of poor little Bobbie? He's been left sputtering. In fact, one comment particularly caught our eye. Speaking of Mr. Thorne-Begland, Marshall said, "He's guilty of a felony. Sodomy is still a felony under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, today, as we speak."
Um — he is? If so, how can little Bobbie be so sure? Seems like kind of a personal piece of information, that. We cats think that little Bobbie is not telling us everything he knows — but not about Mr. Thorne-Begland. About himself.
