Larry and David
by digby
Alex Shepard at The New Republic ran down former UK Prime Minister David Cameron's last day spent "doing what he does best --- roasting Jeremy Corbyn and lying about his cat." You can click over to see the stuff about Corbyn. Here's the bit about the cat:
Cameron took some time to sign on to Twitter and lie about his relationship with his cat, Larry, who is being left behind at 10 Downing St. because Cameron hates animals and only got the cat because he was widely seen as being hopelessly out of touch by the British public.
This is proof of nothing. First of all, if this grainy, out-of-focus shot is the best available evidence that David Cameron loved his cat, then David Cameron did not love his cat. Second, Cameron looks like he’s asking his butler to “get this thing” off of him in this picture—he seems baffled by the very concept of cats and the concept of affection between humans and animals in it. Cameron’s true last act as prime minister is abandoning a helpless animal that he hates, which is oddly fitting.
meow.
