Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In my day, never was longer.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Let there be snark.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Their freedom requires your slavery.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Republicans don’t trust women.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

What Are The Chances

It is 11:15 EST as I write this, so tomorrow’s editorials are not out yet and I have nothing to read. It has been such a slow news day, I was trying to figure out what they would write about, when it dawned on me:

Be the first contestant to find a fawning editorial, praising Gore for his ‘bold stance’ against Bush today in his speech at NYU.

Winning entries must have some phrasing of the idea that “if Gore had spoken like this in 2000, he would be President.” Bonus points if the editorial throws in a mention of the Florida fiasco, extra bonus points if the editorial takes the opportunity to throw in their own potshots against Bush.

Winners, if female, will get my phone number (hopefully they will want it this time, unlike the last lucky lass.). Male winners will win nothing and like it.

*** Update ***

The trolls at TAPPED provides the goods:

Tapped never thought we’d find ourselves saying this, but Al Gore rocks. Today’s speech on Iraq to MoveOn.org was Gore’s first big foray into talking about foreign policy since the fall, and boy, was it worth the wait. Nuanced, sensitive, articulate and sharp as a tack — why couldn’t he have been like this when he was running for President?

    Why would any woman want a pathetic war mongers phone number?
