Opening Salvos

By Miss Kubelik

The GOP is in such a state that we expect any minute that Ken Burns will make a documentary about it.

Paul Ryan bucking the Trumpian tide. Jeb! Bush and Lindsey Graham not only skipping the convention, but saying they won't even vote for the Republican nominee. Willard Mitt Romney and both Bushes declaring they'll be no-shows in Cleveland. Lamebrain Bill Kristol heading up a desperate independent candidacy (and talking to Willard about it). Mary Matalin registering as a Libertarian.

In short, folks, the wheels have come off the wagon.

So we cats were wondering.... in the midst of all this chaos, why is the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived (If Indeed He Were a Person) bothering to endorse Donald Trump — and planning to be at the confab in July? Especially after Trump accused the Bush-Cheney administration of knowingly invading Iraq on a lie?

Simple: The Worst-Person-not-named-Bush has to go hobnob and get big bucks for his right-wing nutjob daughter who's running for Congress, that's why. So the presumptive Republican nominee accuses him of a war crime? No big deal. Cheney has money to raise. We cats HISS.
