Funny how on the very same day that Candy Crowley interviews the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, we cats have run across a most interesting — well, threat from Senator Mark Udall.
Udall — one of a slew of Democrats who got booted from their jobs last month — has said that if the White House and the Senate Intelligence Committee can't come to agreement on releasing the committee's CIA Torture Report, he might just walk onto the Senate floor and read it into the Congressional Record.
If Udall did this, the Worst Person, not to mention the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived If Indeed He Were a Person, would be instantly unmasked as the modern-day Torquemadas they are — something to which America has for more than 10 years turned a "beat it kid, you bother me" blind eye.
We cats are thinking of writing Senator Udall a mash note, urging him to do it. After all, even if the report is released, major portions will be, as they charmlessly say, "redacted." So quite possibly the only way any of us could really find out what our country did to prisoners after September 11 is to have Mark Udall go rogue. (P.S.: He can't be prosecuted for it.)
Udall sure sounds like a man on a mission. "What happened broke faith in the Constitution," he said. "It’s made our challenge much greater when it comes to facing the threat of Islamic fundamentalism. And it is morally repugnant."
The American people, he added, will be "shocked, disgusted and appalled." We cats will just settle for no more Worst Person interviews, thank you very much. We find them shocking, disgusting and appalling. And they make us HISS.
