Tidbits And Cat Treats: The Sunday Before Hillary Edition

By Baxter

We cats are looking forward to seeing Hillary Clinton tomorrow night as she brings her What Happened book tour to Montreal. Meanwhile, we have some bite-sized thoughts and observations on the news of the day.

It's been a couple of weeks since the Harvey Weinstein nightmare broke. A lot of Republican opportunists have jumped on the blame-the-left bandwagon and demanded that prominent Democrats disavow Weinsten and even return his money. Well! We cats just have one question for the Tucker Carlsons (and other hypocrites) of the world: Why is it taking you so long to condemn Bill O'Reilly and FOX "News"?

Did you know that today is the second anniversary of Secretary Clinton's marathon 11-hour testimony to Congress on Benghazi? History will record that Shiny Trey Gowdy and his merry band of hapless conspiracy-mongers were unable to lay a glove on her. But gee... was it that that made them realize they'd need Vladimir Putin's help to defeat her? Or did the treason start even before then?

Speaking of Benghazi, we'd just like to point out that while Niger casualty and latest American hero La David Johnson was laid to rest in South Florida yesterday, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson was at the services — and Trump was golfing.

Finally, wow — did you see the five former Presidents at the hurricane fundraiser this weekend? We aren't so sure about the condition of Bush Senior, and George W. couldn't seem to refrain from smirking even during the national anthem. (Waiting for Trump to furiously tweet about that.) But gosh — our Democratic former Presidents are looking fantastic! Especially Jimmy Carter, who at 93 seems destined to reach his cherished goal of outliving the last guinea worm. We cats PURR.
