Donald Trump? Who's that? We cats can't imagine. After all, why spend the lion's share of your airtime on The Donald when the Republican Party is chock full of people who are acting like idiots? Here are just a few who have lately caught our attention:
First, of course, is the teabag hater who shot up a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, last night. At first it sounded like the authorities were going to hang everything on John Russell Houser's mental state and leave it at that. Then all this hate-liberals-love-Hitler stuff started to come out, uh-oh. It just goes to show you that being a teabag nutcase is a mental state, and not a good one. We cats just want to know: How and where did he get the gun? And which passenger in the 2016 GOP clown car did he endorse?
Then, consider the suit who breaks into a tony Georgetown restaurant and steals booze in the dark of night. We cats were unsurprised to learn that the crook — clearly identifiable in security-camera video — is a Republican PR hack and former pooh-bah over at The Weekly Standard. Sorry, we know that breaking and entering is enough to haul this idiot off to the hoosegow, but working for Fred Barnes and Bill Kristol for seven years is the far more serious crime.
And let's not forget Rafael Cruz Jr., who marched onto the Senate floor today to call his side's majority leader nasty names. Only people with institutional memories — in other words, nobody currently in journalism or Pundit World — will know that this is a horrifying breach of Senate protocol, just not done. But we cats are still trying to figure out that puzzling oxymoron, "controversial Export-Import Bank."
In short, you don't have to look as far as Donald Trump to find Republicans who are screwy. Thank goodness the US Chamber of Commerce is finally seeing the light and looking to remove some of the jackasses they helped elect. Another fissure in the party! We cats PURR.
