From what we can tell, Secret Service pooh-bah Julia Pierson didn't change many hearts and minds at today's House Oversight Committee hearing. We cats are upset about that, because the idea that Barack Obama might not be fully protected kind of freaks us out.
But we still can't help speculating on one thing: The right's reaction if the Secret Service had employed less "restraint" against Executive Mansion intruder Omar Gonzalez than they did.
If the agents had acted like, say, a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer, teabaggers would have instantly screamed that the Muslim anti-colonial Kenyan dictator in the White House had told them to abuse-maim-kill-whatever a valiant, PTSD-riddled Iraq war vet. Impeach!
(You know they would have. We cats HISS.)
P.S.: We cats can't figure out why the House Oversight Committee can hold a hearing today, but Boehner can't call back the House itself to vote on the air war against ISIL. Anybody know?
