Senator Bae, Saved

By Zamboni

Did you know that Ted Cruz's 14-year-old daughter was rushed to the hospital last night with self-inflicted knife wounds? Do you further know that although Cruz has been brutally unkind about Democrats' woes (the Paul Pelosi attack just the latest example), not a single one of our leaders has made snarky comments about this incident?

That's known as being decent. And in the Georgia Senate runoff yesterday, the exponentially more decent man prevailed. "Senator Bae" and his BFF, "Senator My Boo," will not be separated — at least until Brian Kemp decides whether he will try to defeat Jon Ossoff in 2026. The runoff results may give him a tiny bit of pause. But just a tiny bit.

Warnock gave a barn-burning victory speech last night. What was surprising was Herschel Walker's concession. It was gracious and committed to democratic principles — in other words, completely anti-Trump. And he seemed able to read it just fine. (Don't accuse us of being mean. The guy clearly has CTE. And if there were a Heisman Trophy for misspeaking, he'd win it hands down.)

What an indictment of the GOPoT (Grand Old Party of Trump) that a lying, "pro-life" hypocrite who has paid for abortions, neglected his children, exaggerated his resume, and mistreated the women in his life should be the one to rise above their sore-loser Big Lie.

For that reason and more, Republicans cannot be allowed to simply "move on" from Trump. They must own their perfidy. In the meantime, thank you, Georgia! We cats PURR.
