Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Let me file that under fuck it.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

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

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

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

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

In my day, never was longer.

Some context for the “Bush Doesn’t Care” crew:

Novak is the perfect receptacle for such a leak. An old-time Washington insider known for his gruff manner, black suits, conservative leanings and love of Washington intrigue, Novak has been jokingly called

    Two problems.

    First, the leak of Plame’s CIA role was brought up in a press conference soon afterward in July. McClellan started his response with something like “I’m glad you brought that up”, suggesting he’d been prepped, and the White House was aware that a CIA agent had been outed.

    Second, the CIA contacted DOJ not long after the incident. The DOJ didn’t exactly jump on it. The CIA recently went back to the DOJ. It wasn’t the first contact between the two.

    Which sentence shows that Bush cared or didn’t care. I don’t see any evidence either way. The boldface portion makes it clear that the CIA cares, but that’s hardly an issue.

    There’s no doubt the President cares very deeply about this right now. The question, and test of his character is this: is he concerned because a covert operative was outed, or because this could inflict some serious political damage?

    I don’t know whether Bush cares (I hope he does, but it can be tough to tell; I don’t know how many orignial thoughts he actually has…). But I wonder how much Bush supporters care about the actual situations and circumstances that the administration has put our nation in.

    Many people, on the left and the right (and elsewhere on the ideological spectrum) just seem not to care – about the things that are really important.

    But who cares?
