Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

This really is a full service blog.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Shameless Display

If Yglesias was upset by the non-partisan behavior of Kerrey yesterday during the hearings, he is certainly loving the obscene tongue kissing going on between the hideously and transparently partisan Richard Ben-Veniste and Sandy Berger.

This is downright shameless.

    Can we start a drinking game?

    TAKE ONE DRINK FOR EVERY TIME BEN-VESTE MENTIONS THAT CONDI RICE ISNT AT THE HEARING.

    then dial 9-1-1, because you are probably going to die of alcohol poisoning.

    I don’t know why this is news. Ben-Veniste was senior counsel for the Dems in the Watergate impeachment. He has been a steady happy lefty warrior ever since…

    I’ve got a better drinking game, mike.

    Every time Condi ditches 9/11 families and American security questions to go on Good Morning America or the Today show, take a drink. Every time Condi says “I’d like to testify, but executive rules prohibit me” (despite historical precedent to the contrary), take a drink.

    Every time a buffoon-juice dittohead parrots the GOP line because they think it represents them, take drink.

    Now you need 9-1-1, dummy.
