We cats will ignore the Sam Nunberg Clown Show for the moment to opine on the newly announced retirement of Senator Thad Cochran from Mississippi. Let's refrain from getting all squishy about little Thaddy, shall we?
Yes, we know that he's had his share of problems with the mouth-frothing nutcases on the extreme right wing. But just because Chris McDaniel and the Trumpsters are after him doesn't make Cochran a knight in shining armor. It's only because the Republican Party has gotten so, so bad that one is tempted to forget that Cochran is a reproductive-rights-opposing, Gorsuch-loving, NRA-endorsed hero of the Eagle Forum and other horrible people like them.
It's pretty ironic that a GOP stalwart who voted a hundred times to repeal Obamacare can retire to take care of his health. How many Americans are also sick but can't afford to quit their jobs? We cats HISS.
