Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Petty moves from a petty man.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

In after Baud. Damn.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

So many bastards, so little time.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

How stupid are these people?

Come on, man.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

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?
