Not that we need any more proof that the GOP is a bunch of clowns, but here's some anyway.
We cats are actually less disturbed by this execrable performance at the Missouri State Fair than we are by other political developments these days. One, it's a state fair — an entertainment venue which we have to confess we rarely if ever visit. (Sorry, Rodgers & Hammerstein.) Two, we suspect that the President himself would pay scant attention to the loser pictured above — but if he's been banned from future Missouri fairs, which apparently he has, we think that's swell. God bless the free market at work!
Nope, we cats are more disturbed about the ostensible Republican "leaders" who show up on the Sunday talk shows and spout racist crap. We're thinking specifically of Congressman Steve King of Iowa, who has been burning up the airwaves lately, hating on Hispanics. On "Meet The Press" this past weekend, King repeated his allegations that DREAMers are drug smugglers — and managed to insult professional Republican Ana Navarro at the same time.
"I spoke only of drug smugglers," King said. "If Ana understands the language, she should know that." (Emphasis ours — mostly because we still haven't gotten around to picking our jaws up off the floor.)
But our follow-up question is not for King but for Navarro — who, although she pushed back at King pretty aggressively, is a mystery to us.
Aside from pure, naked greed, Ana — renting yourself out as a token Hispanic Republican talking head — what are you doing in that party? We cats HISS.
