We cats are traveling this weekend, but before we hit the road we want to make one more observation about the Republican chaos in Washington.
It is not funny.
So why did we see so many TV talking heads giggling and grinning yesterday? Rachel Maddow reveled in silly props, and her guest, Jay Newton-Small from TIME magazine, couldn't stop smirking. The Washington Post's Eugene Robinson, irritatingly, can always be depended upon to serve as Chuckler-in-Chief. And so on and so forth.
So we wonder: What is so amusing about the fact that one of our political parties has been taken hostage by inept racists and haters who would rather see government fail than serve the American people? Why is it hilarious that the Republican establishment has not only allowed but enabled it? Sorry, but we don't get it. Include us out.
This is serious stuff, folks. Our country needs to function. And unless we Democrats — who believe in government and in enacting sound legislation that lifts all boats — can win the White House and get the Congress back, we don't see how it will. We cats HISS.
