GOP chair Rancid Pieface is gamely predicting a Republican "renewal," but we cats are wondering how that's going to happen if they have many more weeks like this.
It started out with the inauguration of Barack Obama, who gave a delicious, in-your-face speech (long story short: we liked it) — which apparently knocked the wind out of the GOP's sails for at least 24 hours. Because that's how long it took for them to start whining about it.
Then yesterday, three — three! — far-right heroes in the House and Senate made utter fools of themselves at their respective Benghazi hearings. (This does not include Baby Marco Rubio, whose unexpected impression of Caspar Milquetoast must have let a lot of teabaggers down.) Jeff Duncan is a nobody from South Carolina who will never have to worry about not blending into a crowd. And we all kind of knew Rand Paul was nuts, but his straight-from-Glenn-Beck's-blackboard question about arms to Turkey gave us Hillary fans the best moment of the day. Unless, of course, you count the fact that now America knows who Ron Johnson is, and that's not good. For Johnson.
But as if all that isn't enough, Willard Mitt Romney is coming to town. Yep, with his timing slightly off — the big event at which he would have had a front-row seat was Monday — Romney and his petulant wife will be feted by J.W. Marriott and a bunch of (excuse the expression) fat cats at a Washington reception tomorrow.
Why is this important? Well, we cats are just wondering why the 2012 Republican standard-bearer is coming all the way from California to attend an event that will compete with the big GOP winter meeting in Charlotte this week. Which brings us back full circle to that Republican "renewal" that Pieface keeps talking about — but which, with all these oopsies and idiocies and pratfalls, will never occur.
We cats PURR.
