Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

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

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Republicans do not trust women.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Kudos To Dan Drezner

Congratulations to Dan Drezner, whose response to Matt Yglesias’s idiotic postings on the Bush visit to Baghdad were far classier than mine, but managed to essentially say the same thing. I am not apologizing for my postings- they were and are spot-on and deserved, but it is nice to see Dan can be a touch more patient than I can be in these situations.

    MATTHEW YGLESIAS: BUSH IRAQ VISIT = BAD

    Go look at these two childish posts from Matthew Yglesias. About as transparently whiny as you would expect from someone so blinded by partisan politics that he wouldn’t know good from bad if it kicked him in the face. Dictionary.com…

    Beating the left is too easy

    Daniel Drezner takes Matthew Yglesias to task for the insipid complaining about Bush’s visit to Iraq. found at John Cole’s site, which also does a pretty fine job of dragging the idea of “leftist intellectualism” through the mud….
