I've actually seen a cabbit. It's a freakish cross-bred cat and rabbit; mainly it looks, talks, and kills like a cat, but has long hind hare legs, no tail for balance, and has to constantly hop to get around. You kinda feel sorry for it when you look at it and want to take it in as a pet; but your heart still sinks to the pit of your stomach, because it simply shouldn't exist.
I wouldn't call it cute. It's a freak of nature, created by warped human beings. Kinda like an Abbott.
While I know you all know I worked on the campaign of his competitor for the AG seat David Van Os, it never ceases to amaze me what comes directly out of the horse's mouth--or that of his penmates--spun as "cute" when it's just so freaky my jaw hits the ground.

In an American Statesman article Abbott on hot seat in '07 legislative session, one such penmate actually praises him for being a career politician:
Dallas lawyer Deborah Hankinson served on the Texas Supreme Court with Abbott, who was appointed to the court by Gov. George W. Bush in 1995.
"I didn't like raising money," she said. "He likes doing that. He enjoys the strategizing, the campaigning, the fundraising. . . . every aspect. Greg enjoyed every day, whether he was going to be out doing politics or he was going to be working at the court."
Abbott likes raising money? No news flash here; just ask Bob Perry, who's contributed insane amounts of bribe money to continue protection from home buyers complaining of his real estate empire's shoddy and overpriced work. $520,265 last election cycle, to be exact (Statesman).
The audacity that he is praised and proud of being a "career politician"--that is, doing whatever it takes to move up the ranks and pocket even more money--rather than serve the people in this state, is enough to make my teeth gnash.
Cuz LOOK OUT! The dude who does nothing but sit collecting cash wants to be Governor. Or Lt. Governor, whichever the Republican party will let him have without a fight. Which also shows where his priorities are: and it isn't you.
But not two paragraphs later--man, if it doesn't drop you may have lockjaw:
Abbott also enthralls Christian conservatives, Masset suggested. His office defeated a lawsuit that challenged the legality of keeping a monument listing the Ten Commandments on the Capitol grounds. In June, Abbott talked up his defense of the law.
"It doesn't matter what the Clintons and Kennedys do on the East Coast; it doesn't matter what the liberals do on the Left Coast," Abbott told delegates to the Republican state convention. "On the Gulf Coast, our children proudly say the Pledge of Allegiance each morning, the Ten Commandments still stand on the Texas Capitol grounds, and marriage will always be between one man and one woman."
Like he actually SAID that?! And I wonder which children he's referring to? Certainly not those of Hispanics, with a one-in-two dropout rate from Texas high schools, not to mention we're now number one in general, with just over one in ten dropping out before graduation.
And last I noted, the Hispanics tend to be pretty Christian, so why aren't they a priority, Greggy?
Even more gag-reflex caused by same article (I just can't believe they print this and no one seems to notice):
Though Abbott is constrained by the law and his duties as the state's chief civil lawyer, how his advice affects legislative issues could figure in any run he makes for higher office...
So he's making all decisions based on whether it'll look good for his next bid, not whether or not it actually serves the public for the job he's currently "elected" for?! BUNK!!!
...Abbott boasts two advantages on any legislator considering a run against him: no voting record on legislation subject to nitpicking and a hefty warchest. He started this year with nearly $6 million in campaign cash, more than any other state officeholder...
Oh, like that's a good thing? No accountability? First thing I ever do picking someone to back is CHECK VOTING RECORD; this is the whole reason he's gone AG not House nor Senate... get it? Career politician to the core. The cash he pocket's nearly a given, so I don't think I need to elaborate.
...Asked about plans for his campaign kitty, Abbott hearkened the freak accident that left him partially paralyzed in 1984. He was jogging in Houston when a tree fell on him.
"We'll wait and see," Abbott said. "I don't know if, by the next election cycle, a tree is going to fall on me..."
Whaaaaaaa. I'll cut that oak down myself if I have to, and I'm a tree-hugger: HYPOCRITE!
This is the same man that took $10 million--tax free--for said tree, then helped to pass "reform" restricting anyone else this exact scenario happens to from collecting more than $250,000. Which is SPIT MONEY when for the rest of your life, you can't walk. I'm not even sure that pays for the wheelchair, in today's messed up for-profit "healthcare" system.
It won't be a tree this time, Greggy. It'll be a meteor with the names of the Alamo fallen carved into the side of it.
