Republicans In Ruins


By Miss Kubelik

If the word "disarray" began with an "R," journalists would never write another line about Democrats being in — well, you know. They love the alliteration so much, and it lets them do another lazy story about how our side is consumed with infighting.

Well, political haggling over Build Back Better is nothing compared to what the Republican Party is going through now. The split was underlined tonight by a "60 Minutes" interview in which Liz Cheney went after Kevin McCarthy and the insurrectionists in terms that the media would go nuts over if any of us said them about our fellow Democrats. McCarthy, she said, should be ashamed of himself. So true.

She also listed the many, many issues on which we seriously disagree with her. (Sorry, Liz, but waterboarding is torture.) So we're still not sending her any money. But we wish her well in her campaign to defend the Constitution. And since repealing marriage equality is obviously next on the right wing's agenda, it's significant that she had the balls to say tonight that she was wrong to oppose it. Good for her. We cats PURR.
