Cat Fight! Kelly Sadler vs. Mercedes Schlapp

By Sniffles

Apparently the White House leaker wanted to resurrect the "John McCain is dying anyway" story just in time for Memorial Day and tonight's HBO McCain documentary. And just as apparently, it worked. Consider the controversy, if not McCain the brain cancer patient himself, officially revived.

The latest brouhaha has Kelly Sadler outing Mercedes Schlapp as the White House leaker in the presence of Donald Drumpf himself. But we cats are patting ourselves on the back, since as soon as Schlapp gratuitously let the "I stand with Kelly Sadler" comment slip, we knew she had leaked the McCain insult in the first place.

That's because Schlapp and her femme husband (they remind us a little of Mr. and Mrs. Michele Bachmann) are avatars of the hard-core Christian right, which has never loved McCain. So they're sending a message to their fellow travelers on the GOP's anti-McCain fascist flank, for whom the senior Senator from Arizona is surely expiring too slowly. Also, Schlapp is campaigning hard to be White House Communications Director, and Sadler's travails reflect badly on Lyin' Sarah Sanders, to whom Sadler reports. A classic meow mêlée, in our eyes.

Or chalk it up to the fact that the Trumpsters are all incompetent, power-mad, hateful fools. Can both be true? (Sure!) We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
