Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Republicans in disarray!

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

How stupid are these people?

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

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

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

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

This really is a full service blog.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Sucking the Life out of Everyone

Hillary Clinton released her book, Living History, and it is all anyone is talking about. Remember this Susan Estrich statement:

”Could somebody please tell these people to shut up?” Estrich implored in a column that, though little circulated by mainstream newspapers, received wide coverage by top radio talker Rush Limbaugh and Fox News Channel’s ”Hannity & Colmes.”

”The Clintons suck up every bit of the available air,” the one-time Dukakis campaign manager complained. ”Nothing is left for anyone else. They are big, too big. That’s the problem.”.

Many of you laughed and dismissed her. Quick- without thinking. What is the name of Sidney Blumenthal’s book?

Thought so.

    Yet, the Clinton Wars is #25 on Amazon’s bestseller list. Guess those silly Americans are still reading it, eh? Most of us Democrats can handle reading two books at a time.

    Blumenthal fell out of the NYT top 10 in the second week, prior to the release of Hillary’s book. #25 isn’t exactly a triumph when you got a lot of attention from talk show apperarances, etc. and when Ann Coulter is beating you with a book that isn’t even out yet, based solely from a mention on Hannity (Coulter currently 28th, was at 11th after Hannity mention; Blumenthal is down to 59th even after Daily Show appearance).

    Blumenthal is reportedly off the list altogether.

    Currently, The Clinton Wars is #84 on Amazon.com.

    Ann Coulter’s UNRELEASED book has already surpassed it.
