Far be it for us cats to interfere when Republicans are fighting with one another. But Laura Ingraham's "joke" about trading Eric Cantor to the Taliban — which she and the soon-to-be-former Majority Leader had a dust-up about today — is just, well, ugh.
Our first reaction: To joke about trading a Jewish person to the Taliban is not funny.
Actually, the "joke" is not funny anyway. But in this case, really not funny.
But how surprising is that, coming from a Republican? The Grand Old Party hasn't had a stellar record when it comes to the Chosen People. Back during the Nixon days, there was Freddy "The Jew Counter" Malek, not to mention those delicious comments by Billy "Jews Control The Media" Graham. And the teabaggers' suspicion of Wall Street and the elites has a definite anti-Semitic tinge. The only reason they support Israel is because they want the Rapture to come.
We cats have no idea why a member of any minority would belong to the Republican Party. Buried in the Eric Cantor brouhaha this week is another reminder why. Which makes us cats HISS.
