We cats didn't expect to be writing about the Alabama Senate race again so soon, but we checked headlines on The Washington Post this afternoon, and — WHOOPS!
(At least Paul Ryan must be relieved that the spotlight is on Mitch McConnell's problems today. This icky Roy Moore story is sucking up all the uncomfortable questions Ryan might have gotten thanks to a new House Republican committee chair retirement.)
Meanwhile, it's pretty amazing how fast the establishment Republicans moved to get in front of this story. McConnell and the rest of them quickly said Moore should drop out if it's true that he made an under-the-age-of-consent 14-year-old touch his 32-year-old, erect Mr. Winky. It's a sure bet, though, that his diehard supporters are furious and defending him to the hilt. If we still visited our friends the Freepers, which we haven't done in awhile, maybe we could confirm that.
But absentee ballots have gone out — so the only two people who can boot Roy Moore from the race are Roy Moore and the Baby Jesus. And what if Moore stepped aside, remained on the ballot, and still won? Would he have to submit a formal resignation, followed by another corrupt gubernatorial appointment? We aren't familiar with Alabama election law, but Luther-Stranger things have happened.
So much winning! We cats PURR.
