Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I was promised a recession.

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Cheney Case

by | 7 Comments

This post is in: 

So what happens if (when, I predict), the Supreme Court rules that Cheney was right to assert executive privilege in the energy commission case?

Will the loudmouths using this as a bludgeon admit they were wrong, or will they simply resort to attacking the court and trying to make it seem like this was all about a golfing trip in which Cheney and Scalia never even saw each other?

If they rule against Cheney, I can tell you right now what my reaction will be. I will state I think they were wrong and move on with my life. If they rule for cheney, does anyone think that the reaction from the other side will be as measured?

    You’re right. If the Court didn’t want every single decision that it hands down with this Administration tarred with the same brush, it shouldn’t have made the least sensible ruling since the Dred Scott case.

    Ah, another round of the “Sore Loser Chorus.” I suppose it’s a good idea to get practice in before November.

    Yeah, M. Scott, but remember… we’re all supposed to be trembling in fear that come November, John F. Kerry will unleash the full power of the legal profession on us: the generous trial lawyers will “uncover” and “fight” against voting improprieties (against only the Republicans I’d presume).

    “Ah, another round of the “Sore Loser Chorus.””

    Yes, yes, any concern with the fundamental workings of democratic bodies is being a “sore loser.” We are aware of the conservative contempt for the very concept of representative democracy. Next.

    kimmit: don’t you have some kind of protest to attend? or social injustice to fight for? or a tax to find that hasn’t been raised enough?

    Lee, don’t you have some kind of gay person to hit? Or racist employer to benefit from? Or a level of government to find that isn’t bankrupting itself?
