Pull out the smelling salts again. Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, in a tight December runoff with Republican Bill Cassidy, has released an attack ad! Horrors!
Which is our way of saying that the GOP is whining and wailing about how awful Mary Landrieu is. We cats fail to see the problem. After all, her ad only does exactly to Cassidy what Andrew Breitbart did to Shirley Sherrod, and you know what they say about dishing it out and taking it. Besides, what has Landrieu got to lose? The DSCC has abandoned her, and Cassidy, like the other Republicans elected this year, is an idiot.
So we admire Senator Landrieu's spirit. She's got spunk, and unlike Lou Grant, we like spunk. In fact, the White House could use some.
See, when Team Obama — asked on TV about how Obamacare saves lives — fails to tout that storyline and gets all namby-pamby about how they're willing to "work with Republicans" to "fix what's wrong with the law" instead... well, Team Obama might as well just sit back and watch their President's greatest legacy erased.
The Ted Cruzes of the world must rub their hands in evil glee when they hear girly-man capitulation like that. How easy it will be to get rid of Obamacare when its own architects refuse to fight!
We cats are not quibbling with the Administration's accomplishments, of which there are many. We are furious at the lack of communication, which makes us HISS.
So, memo to the White House: The American people would not stand for a single Republican rollback if they understood everything you've done to make their lives better. From now until you pack up your desks in January 2017, show us more Mary Landrieu and less Mary Richards.
