Goodness gracious, we cats have never seen Republicans pummel one of their own so hard for being right.
Yep, Chuck Hagel — the one member of the GOP besides Jon Huntsman on whom we have a kitty crush — is so wanting in their eyes that they're holding up his Cabinet nomination because of something with which he had absolutely nothing to do.
So there must be other reasons, right? We've seen several.
The most popular among them seems to be Hagel's opposition to the Iraq war. And with the 10th anniversary of that snow job — which, by the way, killed nearly two 9/11s' worth of American soldiers and more than thirty-three 9/11s' worth of Iraqi civilians — it's a timely reminder of what excellent foresight Senator Hagel had. It's also further proof of how appropriate is our nickname for The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, and how badly Republicans are currently behaving.
And now that 41 Republicans have decided to filibuster their old colleague, we cats think we know the real reason for this circus.
It's simple: Lady Lindsey Graham, facing a possible primary in 2014, feels pursued by a bunch of heavy-breathing teabaggers. But considering Lady Lindsey's light loafers, we wonder why he'd mind.
