The right wing talking-and-typing heads are aflame about Chelsea Clinton's pregnancy. They're sure that Chelsea and husband Marc Mezvinsky timed the new arrival to coincide with Nana Hillary's 2016 run for the White House.
Well, they were sure — but it seems that at least, Newsmax's execrable Internet news host, Steve Malzberg, has backpedaled on those accusations. (On the Hypocrisy Beat, we'd bet that Newsmax had nothing but wonderful things to say about the Spawning Palin family back in 2008.)
We cats are unperturbed for the Clintons, who probably are not only used to bad behavior from their political enemies but too happy to give a damn right now. Still, we were struck to learn that this kind of idiocy on the GOP side of the aisle is nothing new.
We have it on good authority from a friend who, back in 1960, taught at a high school in the tony Riverside suburb of Chicago. Then as now, the town was wildly white (91.3 percent in the 2010 census) and heavily Republican. Our friend had a co-worker who told him, "I don't think Mrs. Kennedy is as pregnant as they claim." We're not sure what, if anything, this person had to say when John F. Kennedy, Jr. was born that November 25.
"So now my wife and I prepare for a new Administration, and a new baby," John-John's dad famously said after he was declared President-elect. We're looking forward to the Hillary version of that statement. In the meantime, Republicans are making idiots of themselves as usual, and we cats HISS.
