We cats admit we posted at one point about the World War II vets who stormed their memorial in Washington amid the federal shutdown.
But then, we noticed that teabags like Michele Bachmann were trying to milk to event for all it was worth — despite the fact that it was the Republicans in Congress who were responsible for the shutdown that closed the memorials. So we deleted the post, because we didn't want to contribute to the GOP spin.
Oh, we of little faith. It turns out that a teabag Republican Congressman from Texas had the gall to upbraid a park ranger for the problem he himself created. And not only did she stand up to him, Vice President Biden called the ranger to congratulate her.
We've learned our lesson. Never put it past Republicans to exploit an event they caused in the first place. And never assume that no one will stand strong in the face of GOP hypocrisy.
