Is it just us? These days, we cats feel surrounded by rapists.
Jerry Sandusky. Indian guys on buses. Steubenville football players. More Indian guys on buses. Jimmy Savile. And, of course, idiot Republicans who feel the need to opine on this horrific crime.
Yep, make no mistake — not content with the damage it's already inflicted upon itself, the GOP is at it again. This time, it's Phil Gingrey, a lamebrain Georgia Congressman who's adding his unwanted two cents, and you can bet Georgette Mosbacher is even more pissed off.
We cats say, ugh. This continued Republican self-destruction would be amusing, were the subject not so repulsive. And were the GOP not so hell-bent on introducing these awful "personhood" amendments — like Paul Ryan's latest gig — which kinda sorta let all women, but especially rape victims, know where they'd stand in a Republican-run world.
Never happen, you say? We hope you're right. But just remember that in addition to Ryan, three so-called "stars" of today's sorry-ass GOP are well-known for pushing unnecessary invasive procedures on women: "Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell, Ken Cuccinelli and — remember Terri Schiavo? — Jeb Bush.
And if you're a Republican like Mosbacher, who's feeling violated by your party's slide into stupid? We cats say, relax. Enjoy. You know you want it. Drink a glass of wine.
