Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

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

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

No one could have predicted…

Optimism opens the door to great things.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

This fight is for everything.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

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

I know this is going to just kill all the conspiracy theorists out there, but here is more evidence that the Bush trip to Iraq was not merely undertaken to ‘overshadow’ Hillary. From an online chat with Dana Milbank:

Nashville, Tenn.: Is there any indication that Hillary Clinton’s Thanksgiving trip to Iraq played any role in motivating the President’s decision to make the secret trip?

Dana Milbank: None whatsoever. But that doesn’t stop people from speculating. Fodder for conspiracy types: The Pentagon knew weeks in advance about plans for her trip. Cold water for conspiracy types: the Clinton trip was to have been the week before but was delayed because of Medicare votes.

    I agree that the notion that Bush went to Baghdad to upstage Senator Clinton is absurd. The Pentagon could have probably cancelled the trip for “security reasons” had they been so inclined.

    Of course, if certain people on the fringe didn’t insist on confusing HRC with Satan’s wife, this inane theory wouldn’t have gotten anywhere in the first place.

    Also from the Milbank transcript:

    It is bothersome to me that because my coverage is by design tough and skeptical, people assume this is rooted in a political or ideological bias. In fact, I got similar complaints from liberals while covering Al Gore’s presidential campaign, and I expect to get such complaints again when I am covering a Democratic administration — although we may have a good wait until then.

    Heh.
