Fool Us Twice... You Can't Get Fooled Again

By Zamboni

How very interesting. Jeb! Bush is coming to Virginia to campaign for the wild-eyed, far-right, hateful and extreme Ken Cuccinelli for Governor. We cats find this fascinating for a whole bunch of reasons. Let us explain.

First, if you live and breathe politics at all, you must be intensely aware of the Republican establishment's panting desire to position Little Jebbie Bush as Mr. Moderate — the guy who will save the party from its crazy fringe in 2016. (We've got news for you, GOP: Your "crazy fringe" is the party now. Sorry.)

But, wait a minute. Little Jebbie — a.k.a. "Mr. Moderate" — has recently served as THE star attraction at a big fundraiser to kick off the re-election of Mr. Mean himself, Governor Paul LePage of Maine. So Jebbie showing up next for the anti-sodomy, anti-woman religious freak Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia is no surprise — at least, to us.

That's because we refuse to have the wool pulled over our eyes where Little Jebbie is concerned. The Bushes have always, always cozied up to the so-called moderate wing of the Republican Party — while completely and utterly toeing the line of the nutbags.

We well remember Poppy Bush deriding "the spotted owl crowd," for example, so he could suck up to the Reaganites he needed in 1988 and 1992. It's been the same for that execrable family ever since. So if Jeb! is obviously comfortable associating his brand with the most mean-spirited, misogynist, racist, xenophobic, anti-worker, anti-science leaders of the real Republican Party, call us totally not surprised.

We cats know that Ken Cuccinelli cannot be our Governor. It is unacceptable. So we will get to work this week for Terry McAuliffe. In the meantime, we HISS.
