Tidbits And Cat Treats: St. Patrick's Day Hangovers Edition

By Zamboni

Well, it looks as though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nutty You Who is going to keep being a pain in everyone's ass (and we do mean everyone's). Sigh. It would have been nice to like Israel again. In the meantime, here are a few other political disasters we're keeping tabs on.

Sexually ambiguous GOP Congressman Aaron Schock — yes, we'll say it — shocked everybody, including his own House leadership team, by announcing his resignation yesterday. We cats are thrilled, since on top of all the other annoying things Schock has done, he'd started employing a version of the infamous Republican climate-change dodge: "I'm not a lawyer, therefore I don't know if I broke the law." Idiot.

Speaking of which, the cross-eyed college dropout Scott Walker lost his digital strategist, Liz Mair, one day after appointing her to his nascent Presidential campaign. Guess you shouldn't diss Iowa on Twitter if your boss is going to run for the GOP nomination. Hawkeye Staters are "government-dependent," she said, among other insults. In the words of the residents of River City, welcome to the picnic, Liz. You can have your fill of all the food you bring yourself.

Finally, Donald Trump is forming a Presidential exploratory committee. Yay! This is one electoral calamity we can get behind. We're happy to see any Republican who is viewed negatively by 74 percent of GOP voters throw his toupee into the ring. So go for it, Trumpie! (Although the people of New Hampshire may not want to answer their doorbells for the next few months.) We cats PURR.
