Paladino, Please

By Miss Kubelik

Peter Strzok was fired today, and one of our first thoughts was this: When the Democrats flip 40-plus seats and take the House of Representatives this year, will anyone on our side demand all of the internal 2016 emails from the FBI's New York office — to prove the blatant, obvious and insidious anti-Hillary bias that drove everything they did? That stuff will make our hair stand on end (and Strzok's texts look like child's play).

That's just one of the reasons we cats are licking our chops for Election Day (assuming that Putin lets us all vote): With Democrats in charge, all the investigations into the treasonous Trumpsters will finally be able to kick off, and people will be rightfully held to account.

Speaking of the House, on top of the travails that Republican women are facing this year with a pussy grabber to disavow and a blue wave on its way, it seems that the previously defiant Chris Collins will succumb to his insider-trading arrest and not run for re-election after all. Darn! — we were so looking forward to running against a guy who'd been hauled off to the hoosegow and who couldn't get his name off the ballot. Now, Collins has set the nominating process in motion, with the county chairs of the 27th District picking the replacement candidate. Too bad for us.

But wait! — a glimmer of light has appeared. Carl Paladino, he of the baseball bat and the racism and the homophobia and the vile Michelle Obama insults, has thrown his MAGA hat in the ring. Hooray! We can't think of a quicker way to flip NY-27.

Now, can we please get a Trump tweet endorsing him? Because which of those eight county chairs would have the moxie to pick someone else after Benedict Donald weighs in? We cats PURR.
