Why do the media always seem to assume that things will go right for the Republicans? Do they have that much invested in a tight Presidential race — to ensure they have something to talk about 24/7 between now and November 6?
Guess so. Because nothing the GOP does these days seems to go right.
The Ryan roll-out — meh. Romney's trip to London, Israel and Poland — a disaster. The New Hampshire summer vacation? —Why was Ann driving the Ski-Doo? The Republican primaries? Don't get us started.
And now, the Todd Akin self-immolation. No wonder GOP Senate candidates are telling reporters to go (CENSORED) themselves. Even worse — it looks like the Republican National Convention might get rained out.
(We cats think that is great, by the way. Because jackasses like Akin are always invoking the name of God. And if God doesn't send a hurricane, who does?)
But here's the most delicious news tidbit of the day: A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll of African Americans is in, and it's one that, while not completely shocking, still manages to leave you breathless.
Obama: 94 percent. Romney: 0 percent.
This is an amazing accomplishment. John McCain reaped 4 percent of the African American vote in 2008. And The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived — after doggedly courting religious black Americans — got around 11 percent. But zero??? Positively mind-boggling.
We cats assume this is a combination of Romney-Ryan's pathetic positions on domestic policy, the Republicans' relentless demonizing of President Obama, plus the fact that until 1978, the Mormon Church specifically banned blacks from its priesthood.
But what's most delicious to us is that the favorite nickname for the President over at that nutcase corner of the Internet known as Free Republic is "Zero."
Well, Freepers: Who's Mr. Zero now?
We cats PURR.
