It's just over a week to Election Day in Virginia, and Ken "Women Can't Be Trusted With Their Own Fetuses" Cuccinelli is getting slammed in the press for the bad campaign he's run.
Now, we cats know it ain't over till it's over, but we have to agree that the House of Cootch has been singularly inept. That's on top of his poor fundraising, and his extreme right-wing views, and the government shutdown, and his general awful luck (see "McDonnell, Robert").
And the missteps keep happening. Take the latest, which we're not sure any of the young whippersnappers who pass for political journalists these days are going to notice.
Cootchy brought Rand Paul in to campaign for him today. What was one of their stops? The Filipino Cultural Center in Virginia Beach.
We don't get it. The United States has helped liberate the Philippines twice — first in 1898 from Spain, and then from the Japanese during World War II (starring the later-to-be-deservedly-fired Douglas MacArthur, above). It stands to reason, then, that Filipino-Americans might look favorably on the notion of U.S. military intervention abroad. So why would they be receptive to the uber-isolationist, anti-internationalist Rand Paul?
Okay, it may not be the biggest contributor to the overall train wreck that is the Cuccinelli campaign. But it's just another example of the tone-deaf misjudgments that Team Cootch has made. We cats PURR.
P.S. We also hope that Ken's not planning to revisit the Filipino-American community with Ted Cruz any time soon.
