The only thing more elegant about Eric Holder's appearance at last night's Human Rights Campaign dinner was his sense of timing.
Just as the gay-hating Vlad Pootie Olympics get underway in Russia, Attorney General Holder steps up to the mike and announces new federal protections for same-sex couples in the United States.
Yes, we know that the HRC's New York event was scheduled a long time ago — but the contrast is still fun and delicious. We'll take a country whose federal government recognizes the equality and dignity of heterosexuals and homosexuals over one that, well, doesn't. (A nice stick in the eye to Vlad and his new best friend, Ed Snowden.)
And while Log Cabin Republicans send "yes-we-know-you're-dead-but-happy-birthday-anyway" wishes to a President who ignored AIDS for years, we wonder if other prominent light-loafer members of the GOP will break their silence, "come out" and admit the error of their ways.
We cats are proud to be American. We applaud General Holder and score him a perfect 10. And we PURR.
