Tidbits And Cat Treats: Boehner Caves Edition

By Miss Kubelik

So much going on today — stuff we find amusing, and stuff we don't. We cats are settling in for our 16th nap of the day, but before we nod off, here are a few quick takes on what we've seen.

As soon as we read the headlines about John Boehner bringing a clean DHS bill to the House floor, we thought, ah — just like Nancy Pelosi said he would. And just like Boehner spokesman Michael Steel-Without-An-E said he wouldn't. That Nancy Pelosi sure knows her stuff. Good thing she stepped in and took charge.

Our next thought was that we had to check on our teabag friends over at Free Republic. Boy, were they mad! They hate Boehner more than they hate Obama now! And they think he's gay! (What?) And they want to start a third party! Now, that last one, we can get behind.

But the Freeps may not have to start a third party to seal the doom of today's GOP. It's surely not lost on Hispanics that House Republicans' latest meltdown happened thanks to their hatred of folks they call "illegals." Nevertheless, we cats would like to remind everyone that this is nothing new. Back in 1994, there was Pete Wilson and Prop 187. California's been blue ever since.

Finally, to Jeb! Bush and all those other Republicans who are screaming about Hillary Rodham Clinton's State Department emails and whether she's held any of them back, we say: Get a grip. How do we know? We read Hillary's 656-page doorstop of a book — and believe us, there's nothing she did as Secretary of State that's not in there. We cats PURR.
