We cats have been on the road the last few days and dashing about here and there, so we're just now catching up on some of the juiciest tidbits in the news. Here are a few thoughts.
So Baby Marco Rubio couldn't get any of his fellow Senate teabaggers to vote with him on the immigration bill: No Chambliss. No Isakson. No Paul. No Fischer, no Johanns, no Heller, no Coburn, no Inhofe. No Toomey, no Scott. No Cruz, no Lee. Et cetera. Meanwhile, all the Democrats and Independents voted a resounding "yes." Somebody has their act together for 2016, and somebody else doesn't. Plus we cats would love to ask RNC Chair Rancid Pieface how that "reboot" is going.
Speaking of which, how quickly did we hack up a hairball when we heard Phyllis Schlafly declare that the GOP should just stop trying to appeal to Latinos because they don't understand democracy and have too many babies? Our first thought was that she must have been doing a riff on Jeb! Bush's "fertile" remarks. Our second thought was, wait — what? Phyllis Schlafly isn't dead?
We are still trying to figure out what Rick Perry was talking about when he said Wendy Davis "hasn't learned from her own example." First, really stupid of Rick for attacking her, but of course that's Rick Perry we're talking about, isn't it? And PURRS to Wendy for shooting right back with an inconvenient truth: As a young single mom trying to make it in the world, she relied on Planned Parenthood for healthcare.
The Supreme Court's support of marriage equality is a tremendous vindication of Joe Biden, who got the ball rolling in a big way last year and who, as usual, has been underestimated by the media and the punditheads.
Finally, Ray LaHood is ending his tenure at the Department of Transportation, and he had a few biting comments about his fellow Republicans on his way out. "I hope I can be a part of finding ways to getting back to the idea that our party can be relevant," he said, after trashing the House GOP. "We’re not relevant right now nationally.” We couldn't agree more, Mr. Secretary. We couldn't agree more.
