We cats can't wait for cruelty to go out of fashion.
South Carolina Republican Congressman "Ralph Norman" pulled out a loaded gun at a town hall meeting and boasted that he wasn't "going to be a Gabby Giffords." Meaning, we guess, that unlike the poor, pathetic House member from Tucson who was shot in the head at close range, he would defend himself against a bad guy with a gun.
Gabby Giffords has endured not just the initial bullet to her brain, but months and years of grueling rehabilitation. She's fought through it like a champ, and clearly has more balls than this "Ralph Norman" person ever will. It's unspeakably heartless for any Republican jackass to speak about her as if she's a weak sister who got what she deserved.
Never mind the fact that if you had listed the members of Congress who, in Giffords's time, would have been seen favorably by both sides of the aisle, Gabby would have landed in the top 20.
And by the way — we're really glad we weren't at that town hall. We wouldn't have felt safe. We cats dump a dirty litter box on "Ralph Norman's" head, and we HISS.
