We cats have decided that it's official: The Republican Powers That Be have hereby given up on Chris Christie 2016.
Why else would we be seeing stories in, for example, The New York Times about Jeb! as the "intellectual" Bush (as if there were such a thing), searching... searching... searching.... and never coming up with a non-conservative thought his entire sorry life?
We cats say, ridiculous. Let us all remember that Jeb! belongs to a party for which his and his brother's outrageous interference in one family's personal medical decisions was still not enough for the GOP's extreme teabaggy base — who thought that Jebbie should have sent the FDLE into Terri Schiavo's hospice with guns blazing, to spirit her away to a paradise in which all vegetative patients are kept in a state of blissful, well, vegetativeness.
But Pundit World has forgotten all that. We cats are only too happy to remind them that the teabags and the Freepers and the right-wing crazy people have — um — not.
What this current Jeb! puffery reminds us of most is the pre-2000 media groundwork that Karl Rove pulled off for The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived — positioning him as the "compassionate conservative" who could "unite" everybody after all that alleged Clinton Fatigue. Remember that?
No, of course Pundit World doesn't remember that. It was 16 years ago — Chris Cillizza was in high school! But we cats, who know a thing or two about grooming, remember it well.
The Jeb! fluffing is the latest proof that the Republican Party — which gleefully claims that the Democrats boast nobody besides Hillary — has a mighty, mighty thin bench. Christie is fat and tainted, Jeb! is to laugh, and everybody else is either a whackjob or a buffoon. Welcome to the world, GOP! We cats PURR.
