Looking for a pick-me-up on an otherwise dismal news day? Here's one: Republican Congressman Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania has abruptly decided not to run for re-election next year.
These things happen when a pro-lifer gets caught urging his mistress to have an abortion.
Goodness gracious, but this story is just chock-full of fun. First, Murphy is — like so many of these straying right wingers and Bible bangers — physically repulsive, so you wonder how any woman in her right mind would consent to making whoopee with him. Then of course there's his rank hypocrisy on choice: Gosh, just last night he voted to outlaw abortion after 20 weeks.
And then there's the image of the ever-loathsome Paul Ryan, who is already beset with members who are declining to run, having to deal with another crash-and-burn for 2018. And the 18th Congressional District of Pennsylvania is home to 70,000 more Democrats than Republicans these days. We're not saying it's a slam-dunk for us, but we're happy any time Paul Ryan's life is made more difficult. Yay!
Our only regret? That Murphy's mistress wasn't really pregnant and didn't actually exercise her Constitutional right to choose. Witnessing another woman freely determining her reproductive destiny would have been an unexpectedly happy ending to an otherwise vomit-inducing tale. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
UPDATE: Murphy is resigning this month. Big surprise (not). We didn't think he would last till next fall. But here's a disgusting piece of news via POLITICO: Democrats didn't even put a candidate up against this hypocritical jackass the last two elections?? Shame on us! If there's one thing that the Murphy saga reminds us, it's that lightning can strike at any time. We cats HISS.
