Have you been following the latest Washington political saga?
“Obamacare?” That’s not it.
“The Budget?” Nope.
“Defense Spending?” Nada.
“Minimum wage hike?” No.
Those are all unimportant compared to BuzzFeed’s Benny Johnson’s [1] “Kitty Meme!”
If you haven’t seen what a full 20% of your elected representatives are participating in, I suggest you get caught up on what’s important on Capitol Hill from Roll Call [2].
Even our own Sen. Tim Kaine got involved:
Thanks for the follow @timkaine [3] — here is your Kitty of Congress! pic.twitter.com/dLGVrtWi2J [4]

.@bennyjohnson [1] As the only U.S. Senator to have defeated a cat in a general election, I accept. #RIPHank [6]

Ouch. We still love Felix.

But here’s the real question, where’s the rest of the Virginia delegation? I’m sure if we put our collective heads together here at BD, we could come up with some great kitty memes. Just be real careful with anything from the 10th District.
Update: I’ve just been informed that it wasn’t “Felix” Sen. Kaine was referring to. There actually was a cat that he defeated – Hank. And, to think, I actually missed the Hank for Senate 2012 campaign! Wow. Serves me right for getting deployed that year:
