Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

We still have time to mess this up!

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

The Real Haters

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

Check out Michael Totten’s take on a possible Hussein/Bush debate:

Dan Rather has interviewed Saddam Hussein, and Saddam challenges George Bush to a TV debate.

The idea is, of course, ridiculous. Bush won’t dignify Saddam with a response. If Bush agreed, Saddam would send a surgically-modified double.

and:

I’d love to see a post-debate opinion poll from France that looked like this.

Who won the debate?

Saddam – 85 percent
Bush – 9 percent
Undecided – 6 percent

It would be a clarifying moment. The US could stop pretending the French matter. Everyone else could stop pretending they’re smart and sophisticated.

Now go read the bilge from the Democratic Underground, or this thread, titled “Hussein Challenges Bush to Debate – which facist speaks better english… ”

Atrios, get your loons under control.

    Oh, damn you. You made me go and look at Democratic Underground after I’d sworn it off for the sake of my sanity.

    Gaaaaaaaaah. My eyes, they burn. Seriously, the unabashed admiration for Hussein on that site is horrendous. Do these people have ANY sense of perspective at all?
