Gosh, the government shutdown is less than 48 hours old, and the media are already noticing that Ken "I Love Fetuses But Hate Actual Children" Cuccinelli is on the hotseat about it.
Was it only yesterday that we cats predicted this? Indeed, yes. The teabags in Congress are so bent on destroying Obamacare that they forgot they might destroy their fellow traveler in the Old Dominion instead.
It apparently never dawned on them that Northern Virginia is home to hundreds of thousands of federal workers who are now furloughed without paychecks. And that the very law they've closed the government over is one that Cootchy sued to overturn before the ink on the President's signature was even dry.
Cootch has always been unfazed about the impact of his objectionable policy positions. But this "Whoops-we-have-lots-of-angry-federal-workers-here" problem has obviously gotten his attention, because he's trying to squirm out of it. Sorry, Ken: You have to sleep in the anti-Obamacare bed that you so lovingly made.
Meanwhile, a few Republican Congressmen from Virginia — Frank Wolf, Scott Rigell, Ron Wittman and Randy Forbes — have figured it out, and have stated their support for a clean CR. But we don't think they're doing it for Cootchy's sake. They probably just want their livid constituents to leave them alone. We cats PURR.

We cats think you are exactly right. We're pretty sure that all four of those Republican Congressmen have awoken to soggy slippers, yellowed blankets, drippy baseboards, and more. All courtesy of the furious federal employees who live in their districts. But... have they told John Boehner to do his patriotic duty and bring a clean CR to the floor? This we wait to see!
