Well! We don't know about "Better Call Saul" or any of those other cable shows that we don't watch, but tonight's January 6 Committee hearing rose to the occasion in every way. Here are some of our initial impressions. More to come — but meanwhile, here goes:
Do we think Bennie Thompson really has COVID? It was just so delicious to have Liz Cheney presiding over the events tonight.
Every single Republican member of the Senate should be asked relentlessly by reporters if they got a call from Trump during the 187 minutes, and if so, what they talked about. Marsha Blackburn, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, et. al. — anything to say?
The video of Josh Hawley fleeing the mob he'd incited earlier in the day is the talk of the town — or, at least, of Twitter. Can't wait to hear what Claire McCaskill has to say about this. (PS: Hawley running is not exactly the picture of masculinity. Check out Olson from Happer Oil Aberdeen in the wonderful movie "Local Hero" to see what we mean.)
Matthew Pottinger was full of shit when he said 2020 was a close election. Seven million votes, Matt. See, this is why these Republican witnesses, as valuable as they are, are maddening.
The first thing we thought of when the voice-obscured witness said that Mike Pence's security detail was calling family members to say goodbye? United 93. The passengers on that doomed plane on 9/11 had more character and courage than Donald Trump has in his little finger.
Goodness gracious, but Mook Meadows (Rich Wilson's name for him) is in a lot of trouble. We already knew that, but OMG.
Who gave the order for "no photos" on the afternoon of January 6? Mook?
The bottom line for tonight: We cats are so, so glad that these awful Trumpsters — especially including "the 50-, 60-, and 70-year-old men" — no longer have the run of the West Wing, or, for that matter, of the government. It's such a relief to know that Team Biden, a group of manifestly more decent people, is there now. We cats PURR.
