Wow, remember 2003? We cats do. It was not "a very good year." Whipping up frenzy for a new Iraq war, Republicans spent their days impugning Democrats' patriotism, declaring that Americans "need[ed] to watch what they say, and watch what they do," and implying that anyone who didn't wear a yellow ribbon hated the troops and the country. All of it said and done in the non-shadow of the fallen Twin Towers. Ugh.
But how times do change. Today, right-wing Republicans in Congress refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security. The media are using words like "shocking defeat" and "stunning blow." We cats are neither shocked nor stunned. The world already knows that John Boehner is the worst Speaker in the history of the US House — and besides, when you don't believe in government, why would you be any good at governing?
So the embarrassment to the Republicans is nearly complete. The only thing we need now is for someone at CPAC tonight or tomorrow to spike the football to wild cheers from the bloodthirsty, chickenhawk whackjobs in the audience.
And you know what? Not only is the GOP putting the country's security at risk, but nobody seems to be pointing out that the DHS debacle is a stark reminder that the Republicans don't give a rat's ass about working Americans. Why else would they be willing to force air marshals, border patrol agents and other essential DHS personnel to work without pay? We cats SNARL and dump our dirty litter boxes over Boehner's and the Republicans' heads.
UPDATE: We save an especially filthy litter box to dump over the racist head of House whip Steve Scalise, whose BIG FAIL sealed the fate of the three-week funding bill. What a bunch of clowns.
