Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The words do not have to be perfect.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Petty moves from a petty man.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

We will not go back.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

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

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

In a quiet, unscripted moment, President Bush calls John Kerry congratulates him for his primary victory, and wishes him good luck in the upcoming election.

In a quiet, unscripted moment, Democratic candidate John Kerry states the following to supporters.

“We’re going to keep pounding, let me tell you. We’re just beginning to fight here,” Kerry said. “These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I’ve ever seen. It’s scary.”

To date, one side of the debate has been nasty, vile, dirty, obnoxious, and immature- and it has not been the Republican party’s vaunted smear machine, either. The Democrats have been disgusting in the last six months.

    And today, with the national press/broadcast media fawning all over him, expecting him to be a gentleman and apologize: he turned up the attack volume. What a guy. Can we expect more of this? Is this how he intends to “run to the center?”

    I’m in aqgreement with Rush Limbaugh who today suggested that if Kerry & Company are going to accuse Bush/Cheny-2004 of attacking, that they may as well give up being civil and really lay it on him.

    Meh. Y’all proved that one simply cannot sink too low. Remember Willie Horton? Or Grover Norquist comparing tax cuts to the Holocaust? You have owned the bully pulpit and both Houses of Congress for the past two years. Do you really think that we’re not copying your successful tactics?

    Yes, Kimmitt….it’s the Republican’s fault.

    Same excuse, different scenario. All that was missing was a call for tax hikes.

    Rave on, kimmett… no one ever sunk lower than LBJ in ’63 with the TV ad showing a child picking flowers in a meadow and then consumed by an atomic blast.

    Or more recently, the body of a black man being dragged behind a pick-up truck; sickening, both of them.

    Yesterday John Kerry tried to tie former Senator Max Clellan to Vietnam war heroics by saying he left his blood on the battlefield… we all know what Clellan himself admitted to, but your people have no shame. Say and do anything to distort the truth and try to regain lost power.

    Forget Willie Horton too, unless you care to mention who initially started the discussion: it wasn’t the GHWB campaign.
