We cats feel surrounded by buffoonish conduct lately. For example, is it just us, or is it really tacky to parachute off the World Trade Center? Why would anyone want to do that, after dozens of people fell or leaped to their deaths from the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001?
But as usual, nobody can top the Republicans when it comes to being vile. Take Donald Rumsfeld, who on top of his myriad other offenses now has exposed himself as a clumsy racist by calling our first black President less capable than a — well, you know what he said.
We cats say: There are knowns and there are unknowns. The known known: Donald Rumsfeld is the worst Secretary of Defense in the postwar era. The unknown unknown: Since he already long ago disqualified himself from any serious foreign policy discussions by insisting there were WMDs in Iraq, why does anyone listen to him now? It's a mystery that only FOX "News" can answer.
Then there's Joni Ernst, a GOP lamebrain from Iowa — adored by the Koch brothers, by the way — who in a cringeworthy TV ad compares what she wants to do in Washington to what she used to do back on the farm. (Some unhappy pigs are involved. We cats are detecting a real Republican animal motif here.) And finally, let's not forget the Kochs themselves, who are busy trying to buy a county election in northern Wisconsin, so they can destroy its unspoiled beauty with a 22-mile-long iron-ore mine.
Yep. We can see how the Republicans have sensitized their message and behavior, and how the negative environment in Washington is all Obama's fault. Not. We cats HISS.
