On the eensy-weensy, teeny-tiny chance that you didn't think Republicans disrespect military veterans who happen to be Democrats (and the execrable 2002 campaign against Max Cleland was surely proof enough), along comes jackass teabagger Joe Walsh to change your mind.
We cats are torn, because we don't want to give the likes of Walsh any publicity. But on the other hand, the world needs to know what a fool he is. So here goes.
Claiming that "noble heroes" in the U.S. military modestly refuse to discuss their service, Walsh — who (you guessed it!) has never enlisted himself — accused his Democratic Congressional opponent, Purple Heart recipient Tammy Duckworth, of grandstanding. "My God," Walsh whined about Duckworth's distinguished record as a helicopter pilot. "That's all she talks about."
Thank goodness, Vote Vets has demanded that Walsh resign from Congress. But we're not holding our breath. So in the meantime, we cats HISS at Joe Walsh and dump our dirty litter boxes on his head.
(And — journalists? You need to beat a path to John Boehner's door, and Willard Mitt Romney's door, and Rancid Pieface's door, and the door of every leading Republican in the country and ask if they agree with what Joe Walsh said.)
UPDATE: Duckworth had the perfect comeback. "Anyone who has worn the uniform of this great nation for a single day has done more for their nation than Joe Walsh has ever done." We cats PURR.
