It's Friday night, and we're back. Yes, we took yesterday off, but mostly because we wanted to leave that Fat Elise picture up at the top of the blog as long as we could. Meow!
Speaking of Elise, she's starting to curdle. We thought days ago that for the Republicans to let their leadership fight drag out until May 12 was a judgment error of the highest order, and we haven't seen anything yet to convince us we're wrong. Elise has been subject to some withering analyses by folks who usually don't write about North Country politics, and she's not coming out very well. Media closer to home jumped on the opportunity to call Stefanik out for her hypocrisy and to rake her over the coals for not holding town halls or meeting with them. And now the GOP conference vice chair has whined about a Queen Elise "coronation."
Fight, fight, fight! The Republicans should be properly disgruntled that none of this would be happening if Kevin McCarthy were smarter.
Meanwhile, not to be outdone, the Ohio GOP has censured Republican Congressman Anthony Gonzalez, who voted to impeach Benedict Donald for inciting the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The state party's governing board even called on him to resign.
This seems really counterproductive for them. Gonzalez is a first-termer, a former Ohio State football player, and of Cuban descent. (His grandparents fled Castro in 1960 on pain of death. Baby Marco, anything to say about this?)
So now we have Mothers Day weekend, during which surely a ton of Republicans will be on the phone with each other, grousing or importuning about an unnecessary squabble of their own making. And Elise, who is not a mother, will be getting ready for her big meeting with the Gym Jordan caucus on Monday, where she must defend her less-conservative-than-Liz-Cheney voting record and lay their doubts to rest. Let them expend all this energy. We cats will focus on how the Biden-Harris Administration is making things better. And we'll PURR.
