Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Let there be snark.

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

This really is a full service blog.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Lehane v. Matthews

I had completely forgotten about this exchange between Chris Matthews and Chris Lehane late Monday night during the Iowa Caucus wrap-up, but Henry Hanks reminded me. I will postthe entire transcript: in the extended entry, but it really does not do justice to the verbal exchange.

At any rate, read the transcript. Lehane is without a doubt the sleaziest human being in politics (move over Blumenthal), a thoroughly reprehensible loud-mouthed little punk who is now only the second person to make me physically angry every time I see him on tv (Michael Savage, who I saw twice on MSNBC, is numero uno- even Lehane can’t shake a stick at that disgusting piece of bile). I wish Lehane had been in the studio with Matthews, because I bet he would have puched the little twerp. At anyrate, I would love to see John Kerry make it so this smug punk never works in politics again.

Actually, if that happened, the NY Times would probably hire him to do some ‘objective reporting.’

MATTHEWS: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) …now move to New Hampshire. That

    Lehane really will turn on a dime… it’s amazing how quickly the Dem blogs rushed to defend him from the possibility that he dug up the trooper-abuse dirt on Dean, convinced it came from Bush. What a laugh.

    Chris Lehane and Mark Fabiani worked both sides of the California electric crisis…they both worked for Gray Davis (paid on the taxpayer dime) AND worked for Southern California Edison (who got a sweetheart deal out of the negotiations…coincidence?..me think not)

    They cared not about solving the crisis, they cared about lining their pockets. They managed to get the Gov. of California ousted and then moved on to Clark’s camp….why doesn’t LEHANE RELEASE HIS RECORDS ON HOW MUCH HE COST CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS? Slimeball.

    Rats, vermin, and Michael Moore….

    Via Glenn Reynolds, I learned that the Hezhollah-supported Michael Moore has hired veteran Democrat dirt digger extraordinaire Chris Lahane to do what people like that do: Michael Moore is so afraid of a loose, informal, web-based movement of hardworki…
