Tidbits and Cat Treats: CPAC Silliness Edition

By Sniffles

Okay, we're forced into it. It's time to write about CPAC, before the clown confab ends.

The nutty conservative conclave has been just so over the top this week that we cats have decided to do a grab bag of observations. Yes, we know that each one of these items is worth a post in itself. But if we did that, we'd never get around to our 16th nap of the day. So here goes.
  • Irony: A bunch of right wingers are not only meeting in the bluest county of a blue-blue state — Maryland just outlawed the death penalty. Haw!
  • Cowardice: Jeb! Bush has induced good pal Al Cardenas to leave him off tomorrow's straw-poll ballot. Are we surprised? Of course not. He doesn't want to come in fifth to Rand Paul.
  • Inquisitiveness: Speaking of Kentucky's Senator Nutjob, when will the CPACkers figure out that he hates Israel?
  • Amazement: Can we just ask? What is with Marco Rubio's perspiration problem? If Richard Nixon were alive today, he'd be sweating the competition.
  • Anticipation: Everyone's been so wacky, and the Rand Paul adoration so intense, that we wonder what the famous quitter from Alaska will have to do to steal the spotlight back. Can anybody say, "Mardi Gras"?
  • Speculation: Did Rick Perry bump into Willard Mitt Romney backstage? Awkward!
  • Consternation: Wayne LaPierre's found a new way for Republicans to talk about rape.
  • Curiosity: Didn't we just see Rob Portman's name badge, lying unclaimed on the registration table? Guess why!! 
More tomorrow, after the meaningless straw poll — and the gaiety at the Gaylord wraps up. In the meantime, we cats PURR.
