Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

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

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Battle won, war still ongoing.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Come on, man.

Consistently wrong since 2002

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

But Can He Spell Potato

This is just amusing, and pity the fools that try to get more than a few laughs out of it:

Democratic presidential candidate Bob Graham (search), in sharply criticizing President Bush’s veracity about Iraq’s weapons programs, got a bit confused about the number of letters in the word “deceit.”

“I would not use the three-letter word,” the Florida senator told reporters. “I would use the five-letter word: deceit. That he deceived the American people by allowing into a State of the Union speech at a critical point when he was making the case for war with Iraq, a statement that he either knew was wrong or should have known was wrong.”

    Quite obviously, it’s a lie. Deceit is not five letters, so Graham is therefore lying.

    And that makes him a Republican, right? (at least during the month of July).

    So clear. There are no mistakes. He should be fired, er, recalled.

    I thought Democrats were SUPPOSED to lie ?

    When they do, the press applauds and protects them.

    When a Republican lies it is like a knife in the back of America.

    Seems Republicans are held to a much higher standard when it comes to honesty.

    Sen. Graham Uses Four-Letter Words About President

    (2003-07-15) — Senator Bob Graham yesterday told the NAACP that he would use a five-letter-word to describe what George Bush did in his State of the Union address: “deceit.” Today, Sen. Graham said he would use a lot of four-letter-words…
