WWSRD? (What Would St. Ronnie Do?)

By Sniffles

We cats are, um, not big fans of Ronald Reagan. We liked the other guy. (See above.) And we're even prouder that the "other guy" has been busy for the last 30 years waging peace, fighting disease and building hope — while Reagan spent his post-Presidency riding horses, withering away from Alzheimer's, and being generally useless on his California ranch.

But there's one thing we're pretty sure Ronald Reagan would never have done: Tell jokes about a well-liked Democratic rival while said rival was in the midst of burying his beloved older son.

It's so indicative of Rafael Cruz's lack of understanding of Ronald Reagan's character that he would have posted on his website a tribute to Ronnie today — on the 11th anniversary of his death — without an inkling of how Reagan would have shaken his head and clucked at Cruz's bad Biden behavior. So Cruz's Ronnie worship is laid bare: It's as hollow as the sympathy he expressed for the Biden family before a reporter called him out Wednesday night.

These effing Republicans say they're such great Christians. Piffle. The real Christian — in addition to Biden, of course — is on the right in the picture above. (Although we are wondering why he turned the Oval Office into a tropical rain forest.) We cats PURR.
