We cats have always adored Birch Bayh. Those blue eyes! Those dimples! Those classically liberal beliefs! Back in the good old days (i.e., the 1970s), when we could name every member of the U.S. Senate, Birch always stood out as one of our total faves.
Unfortunately, it appears that for all his fine qualities, Birch Bayh was a terrible father. Witness the sad, sad case of Evan Bayh. The former Indiana Governor and Senator, a Democrat, has just announced he will join FOX "News" as a paid political "analyst."
This makes us cats want to throw up — and as you probably know, cats are champion barfers, so that's saying a lot.
It wasn't enough that Evan has always been a tad, um, dull. (Some years back, we were invited to an Evan meet-and-greet at a major Democratic donor's South Florida home, and almost passed out from ennui.) Then the lunkhead announced he wouldn't run for re-election to the Senate in 2010, effectively handing his seat over to Republican Dan Coats. Then, he refused to share his vast campaign war chest with struggling Democratic candidates in a tough Democratic year. And now, the FOX gig. Evan, why don't you just switch parties, and be done with it?
We cats HISS at Evan Bayh and wish him nothing but ill. As for his daddy, we can only hope that he's walking around with a paper bag over his adorable head.
