Granite State Gasbag

By Sniffles

We cats are picturing the entire state of New Hampshire looking for a paper bag to wear on its head today, now that its former Governor (and co-chair of the Willard Mitt Romney campaign) has managed to burst into the headlines with yet another ignorant, racist remark.

This time, Sununu's target was Colin Powell, who endorsed President Obama's re-election yesterday. Clearly, Sununu declared, Powell was only supporting Obama because they're both black.

We cats are not black ourselves, but we're getting awfully tired of these Republican white men saying rude and disrespectful things about people who are Not Like Them: women, African Americans, Latinos, immigrants, gays and lesbians, the poor, you name it. And worse, Willard says not one word of reproof. This disqualifies him from the Presidency. Plain and simple.

P.S.: Speaking of New Hampshire, Senator Kelly Ayotte canceled a campaign appearance with Richard "God Wants You To Be Raped" Mourdock this week. Guess his comments at Monday's night's debate were just too over the top. But what we want to know is this: Why was it okay for Ayotte to campaign for that jackass in the first place?
