Tidibts & Cat Treats Meets Woe Is Willard

By Zamboni

The Silly Willy for President campaign is rolling into our quaint Civil-War-era town today, we presume with its freshly minted running mate in tow. But coincidentally — or not; you know how good our side can be at counter-programming — our latest local Obama 2012 office will hold its official ribbon-cutting opening just a few blocks away, at nearly the same time. After which we'll all get to work, organizing.

Therefore, we cats have time for just a few quick thoughts on this morning's news. Here goes.

Poor Willard. He so obviously was bullied by the right wing into this VP choice. And because of that, we think the Romneybots probably haven't properly assessed what effect the presence of Mr. I-Want-To-Kill-Medicare on the ticket will do in high-retirement states like Florida, Arizona and Nevada. Or what it'll do to other key states that tend to keep a lot of their retirees, like Ohio and Pennsylvania. Oh, well!

We want to see Paul Ryan's tax returns.

What happened to all the women that Ann Romney said they were looking at? Ann? Ann? Explanation, please.

Poor Tim Pawlenty, never a bride. We cats wonder how it feels to come in third or fourth in the veepstakes for the second campaign in a row. And what happened to Marco Rubio? Bobby Jindal? Guess you guys of color just didn't measure up.

And pity the evangelicals. Nobody on the ticket for them. No Sarah Palin this time around. Sorry, folks.

But by "choosing" Ryan, the Mormon Romney must foolishly think he's going to get a slice of the Catholic vote. He's actually thumbing his nose at the Nuns On The Bus instead. We cats don't think it's wise for anyone to cross those ladies. But then, who said the Romney campaign knows what it's doing?
