Just when we cats thought humanity could collectively agree that breathing is good, we got a whiff of the right-wing umbrage over Eric Garner's death.
Umbrage, that is, that a man in the process of being murdered would be able to gasp out a last breath.
We cats are not sure what Peter King, who should be stripped of his office and have his head shoved into a dirty litter box, wants Eric Garner to prove. After all, the man died. But we'd like to state for record and for the jackass Republican Congressman from New York that we know from experience (an emergency-room encounter with an endoscope down the throat) that yes, indeed, you can say "I can't breathe" when, truly, you can't.
It's just unbelievable that a sitting member of the House of Representatives would get on TV and say what King did. Scarier still is the fact that with the teabagger takeover of the Republican Party, and the dearth of moderate Republican office holders left in the Northeast and across the country, King is supposed to be one of the "reasonable" voices of the GOP.
God help us. Although we're heartened by the fact that right-wing voices like Charles Krauthammer, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and the guys with the small penises over at The Federalist have all expressed dismay at the Garner decision, the skepticism, scorn and disrespect that King and others have shown the star of the nation's most widely viewed snuff film takes our breath away. So much so that we can barely HISS.
