Balloon Juice - On a Roll

Scott Ott is a genius:

New York Times columnists Nicholas Kristof and Paul Krugman, whose power and influence dwarf those of the President, finally forced Mr. Bush to confess his deception.

“I guess I really didn’t think this thing all the way through,” Mr. Bush said. “I just thought I’d tell the people Iraq has WMD, then start a war…and…uh…that’s as far as it got in our strategy sessions.”

The President added that, despite the blow to his popularity ratings this revelation would surely bring, “at least we got the oil.”

I hope the Atriettes realize this is satire.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

People are weird.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

“Alexa, change the president.”

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.
