Some of our lefty friends, of whom we're very fond, are upset about Mary Landrieu's push for a Senate vote on the Keystone Pipeline. All that will do, they argue, is enrage the Democratic base — and not benefit Landrieu one bit, since her Republican opponent, also a Keystone supporter, is spearheading the same effort in the House.
We cats thought about this for a little while. And then we came up with what could be a cunning plan that cannot fail.
Congress approves the pipeline. The bill goes to President Obama, who promptly vetoes it. Senator Landrieu runs against President Obama for the rest of the election.
See? It's a total win. Obama takes a hit in a state that hates him anyway, so no skin off his nose. The pipeline dies. And going against her own President, Landrieu gets to remind Louisiana voters that she's got, as we were just saying, spunk.
It could work. Which would make us cats PURR.
