Top-Level Trolling

By Baxter

Today was already good for grins, what with President Biden signing the Inflation Reduction Act into law and pointing out that no Republicans voted for it. And then we saw this. Fabulous!

John Fetterman is running a terrific campaign for US Senate. He has defined his hapless Republican opponent, "Dr." Oz, as a rich carpetbagger who couldn't care less about Pennsylvania because, whoops, he lives in New Jersey. John's been doing lots of fun things like putting up amusing billboards at the state line and nominating Oz for the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Great stuff.

Now he's wasted no time mocking Oz's fake shopping trip for "crudités," pointing out that most regular voters know them as cut-up veggies with dip. In fact, stores even cut them up for you. No wonder the National Republican Senatorial Committee has canceled $7.5 million in Pennsylvania ad buys.

Yes, Oz is ridiculous, and the GOP is saddled with him, courtesy of Donald Trump. But Fetterman has been an excellent candidate — not bad for someone who had a stroke a couple of months ago. But he's recovered and back on the trail, meeting voters and using plain language. We cats are there for it, and we PURR.
