With the 39th (wow!) anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation just around the corner, we cats can't help noticing how many Republican scandals are still out there.
Take Michele Bachmann: The House Ethics Committee recently announced it's broadening its investigation into her financial shenanigans. Of course, she swears that her decision not to run again has nothing to do with any of this. Um-hmmm.
Then there's Tony Bennett (not our fave singer, thank goodness), who just indignantly resigned as Florida Education Commissioner because — gosh, surprise! He changed a grade on a failing school run by a donor! We cats remind the world that this huffy hooligan is a Jeb! Bush acolyte. Had Bush run for President in 2012, you bet you would have seen Tony Bennett crisscrossing the country, loudly touting Jeb!'s education "vision." Instead, he's just proven that — like everything else connected with the Bushes — the "vision" is nothing but window dressing and fraud.
And of course there's the current GOP granddaddy of all things inappropriate, "Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell, Governor (for now) of Virginia. Turns out that the petulantly spelled businessman "Johnnie" Williams is squealing to federal prosecutors — so afraid he'll be thrown into the hoosegow that he, in turn, is throwing Bobby under the bus.
We cats are amazed at how this story just keeps getting worse and worse for a guy who nearly made it onto the Republican ticket last year, in part because he is so, so offended by women exercising their Constitutional rights. Yet he's the same guy who claims he didn't know that Williams was gifting his wife and daughters so lavishly.
Wait — what? Mr. Family Values, Mr. I-Must-Control-Women-At-All-Times, says he's in the dark about a guy giving designer clothes and thousands of dollars to Maureen and the girls?
We cats don't buy it. And we wouldn't let Johnnie Williams buy it for us, either.
