What a day! So many observations knocking around in our furry heads. Shall we dive right in?
Best line we've seen on social media so far: "Impeachment may be the first thing Donald Trump has ever earned." Well played, sir!
For the first time since we cats can't remember when, we agree with Chuck Todd. Yes, he really shut down Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana on MTP Daily, but more memorable than that was his swift reaction to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's statement at 5 PM. "This was an address to the nation." Absolutely.
Glad to see that everyone realizes that what we want to see is the whistleblower complaint they're withholding, not a White House transcript that can be doctored faster than a weather map.
Finally, we did a serious flashback on Florida Governor Lawton Chiles and Jeb Bush today. Bear with us while we explain. In his famous 1994 gubernatorial debate with Bush, Chiles warned the Republican whipper-snapper that "the old He-coon walks just before the light of day." Jeb was flummoxed, native Floridians guffawed, and the race was over.
Lawton was saying, don't count me out, son. Before today, so many pundits and politicos, including people we respect, had hammered Nancy Pelosi for "failing to launch" — when, it appears, the Speaker knew what she was doing all along. Unlike the Mueller report, Ukraine-gate is a simple story of Benedict Donald betraying his oath, and it's taking place practically in real time. Folks out in flyover country will get it. And the so-called vulnerable freshman Democrats whom Pelosi is bent on protecting have decided they don't need protection after all.
Write Pelosi off at your peril. She is a She-coon. We cats PURR.
