We cats are all for our Senator Chuck Schumer's idea of renaming the Russell Senate Office Building after John McCain. What an excellent opportunity to get a racist's name off a building and drive Donald Trump and his hideous fans crazy at the same time.
Here's a revolting case in point: Jim Hagedorn, the GOP nominee for Minnesota's first Congressional District, who is such a racist fool that he wants to sandblast Abraham Lincoln off Mount Rushmore. We have yet to hear from him on the Russell renaming, but he's the type.
They're the teabaggers and Trump fans who defensively harp about how it was the Democratic Party that was the party of racists, which — well, yes, it was, at least back in the day when Fred Trump was attending Ku Klux Klan rallies. But as everyone knows, the Solid South flipped after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s. The haters fled to the GOP because we Democrats did the right thing.
Heck, you don't even have to read history to learn this stuff. Just watch HBO's "All the Way" to see how heartbroken Georgia Senator Richard Russell was. (That's him above, played by the great Frank Langella.)
So sure, let's go for it: the McCain Senate Office Building. And why stop there? What else can we rename for McCain to drive the Trumpsters crazy? Our phones are open! And we PURR.
