Why can't Hillary Clinton be more like Ellen DeGeneres?

Well, I see the new idea for knocking down Hillary Clinton is about how she got rid of Socks the Cat. I guess that was sometime after she sent Buddy the Dog to run out in the road to get squashed by a car. Mean, mean woman. Where is her heart?

It was a good week to attack a woman over her insufficient love of pet animals, because we just saw Ellen DeGeneres emote over the repossession of a pet dog that she'd adopted and then passed on to someone else.



Now, there's a woman whose love and empathy radiates out with the full heat of daytime television.

Ah, but both women palmed off an unwanted pet to someone else.

So, Hillary, just go on the Ellen show — if Ellen ever manages to stop the tears and broadcast again — and cry about how terribly much you loved Socks and have Ellen help you explain why love is what makes you get rid of the pet. Then you can get back to telling us how you're going to bring the womanosity to the presidency.

UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan really needs to make some effort to understand my sense of humor before posting another inane attack on me. I already gave him The Andrew Sullivan Award (for humor deafness) that one time. Get a damn clue, man.
