Did Eric Greitens suddenly decide to resign today because he thought the news would be lost in the "Roseanne" cancellation? We can't think of any other reason — he'd been hanging on for months, and it's not yet clear what else may have spurred him to act.
(Anyway, it didn't work. Slimeball Eric is the second headline everywhere, after Barr.)
We kinda wish Greitens had continued to twist slowly in the wind rather than decamp, since he was making Missouri Republicans so uncomfortable. And we're happy that Roseanne's vileness finally caught up with her. But both of these cretins, sadly, stepped on some other important news stories today. Here are just a few:
With his lamebrain, racist lack of response to Hurricane Maria, Donald Trump has now killed more people than Osama bin Laden did on 9/11.
The Trumpsters are tearing migrant children away from their parents, and have lost 1,500 of them. Trump is trying to blame this, of course, on President Obama.
Trump told Jeff Sessions to un-recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
The stock market dropped almost 400 points today because the United States — and oh, yeah, Italy — are in chaos.
A new video game, "Active Shooter," lets players massacre a school.
Most distressing of all, a National Guardsman has died trying to save a woman trapped by the Ellicott City, Maryland, floods. Just the other day, he had posted his hopes as the nation prepared to honor its war dead. "Okay kiddos, it’s the start of Memorial Day weekend. Let’s get the hate out of our hearts." We cats are very sad.
