You won't be surprised to learn that we cats ate up last night's State of the Union address like a juicy can of chunk light. Here are our thoughts as we contentedly lick our chops.
"They deserve a vote." Brilliant. On different levels, too. Yes, victims of gun violence deserve to have Congress act. But so do 102-year-old women who wait seven hours at the polls.
It was also clear that the Republicans cherish cop-killer bullets more than cops, prefer protecting abortion-doctor killers over living first graders, and believe absolutism in the defense of violence is the best response to the slaughter of children.
Speaking of which, we had no idea that "Ted Nugent" was present — until we saw his picture in this morning's paper. So, why even invite him? What a silly, empty stunt.
And the three stooges from SCOTUS weren't there, either. (Which reminds us, can Antonin Scalia be the next Pope? Now, that would be a twofer: Get him out of our hair, and give Obama another justice to nominate.)
How wonderful that the President managed to remind Republicans not once, but twice, that they nominated Willard Mitt Romney last year.
Camera shot of the night: Three stony and scowling GOP Congresswomen, disgusted by the President's call for equal pay legislation. How dare he!
Between Ted Cruz's despicable behavior on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Baby Marco's lunge for the water bottle, Republicans continued to prove yesterday that they are not ready for prime time.
Conclusions? We have three.
1) The state of the union is way, way stronger than it was under The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived. 2) It's getting even better. And 3), imagine how much more stuff Obama could get done if only the Republicans would get patriotic and cooperate.
Unless, of course, that makes you cry.
UPDATE: It turns out that Ted Nugent was seated next to a guy from Pink Martini. As one of our loyal readers has observed, it just keeps getting better, doesn't it?
