A Star Is Born

By Zamboni

We have a breakthrough celebrity in America tonight, and — what do you know? Her name is Cruz!

But our right-wing friends over at Free Republic aren't crazy for this particular Cruz. Why? Because this morning, five-year-old Sofia crashed Pope Frankie's security cordon (okay, the Pope gestured for the Secret Service to bring her over), after which she gave him a letter asking for help with immigration reform.

Later, we cats saw Sofia Cruz on TV and she managed to be totally adorable — despite living in fear every day that Donald Trump and Steve King and the other haters in the Republican Party will send her undocumented parents away.

We cats just melted at all this, which meant, we knew, that the Freeps would be furious. And indeed they were:

"It’s ‘for the children.’ Puke."

"Yeah.. I’m sure THAT was spontaneous."

"I thought it looked staged, to get positive publicity for invaders."

"Francis is a immoral coward. And a socialist."

"The pope has sold himself out to naked partisan political interests."

"Who cares what this little girl had to say? She's a little girl."

Hm. Have the Freepers forgotten that famous Jesus command, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them"? Or that thing he said about the mouths of babes? We cats HISS.
