Feel like we Democrats are having a rough week? Well, it happens to us, too, you know. It's just that our bad spells don't seem to be nearly as awful as the Republicans'. Anyway, here are some appalling news items that have gotten our attention today.
Want to know why the Florida special election wasn't a referendum on Obamacare? Because it was about turnout. Sadly for us, a textbook example of what happens when you don't get your voters to the polls. Shame on you, Alex Sink.
However, allow us to take one more opportunity to box Team Obama's ears for not selling that freaking healthcare law earlier — and thus making themselves vulnerable to all the lies, innuendo and mendacity that the Republicans are dishing out. HISS and SNARL to all of you.
Gosh, it seems like everybody's jumping on Hillary Clinton for saying that Vlad Pootie barging into Crimea is like Hitler. We cats disagree. Yes, the Nazi comparisons have generally been overdone — but we, too, think of Hitler whenever we hear the word "annexation." We've all seen "The Sound of Music."
Paul Ryan's really been embarrassing himself lately — making racist comments about "inner-city" folks "not even thinking about working," and criticizing parents who don't pack their kids a brown bag lunch. But please — this is nothing new. Ryan's showing as much understanding and compassion as when he washed clean dishes in a soup kitchen.
Finally, Fat Mike Huckabee says that denying women's reproductive rights is a sure way for the Republicans to win elections. We cats say: What are you waiting for, GOP? Nominate him! That would make us PURR — big time.
