Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Bark louder, little dog.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Daily Kerryism

by John Cole|  June 16, 20047:47 am| 12 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

I have written before about how stupid the Daily Kerryisms and the Daily Bushisms are, and I am glad to see others are beginning to agree. Well, sort of- mainly they just don’t like Kerry being bashed.

However, that is enough for me. Maybe one day they will realize the Bushisms are just as stupid and unfair.

    But you see, Kerry is a very nuanced, intelligent man who states his positions the way an intellectual might. He never, ever leaves himself open to change positions in the future when it’s politically expedient, no way. Obviously the left is too nuanced in their thinking for these “-ism” features.

    Bushisms, however, are good because BUSH IS DUMB! Har-har-har!

    The problem being that President Bush really is kind of dim and inarticulate.

    We ought to trust Kimmitt’s word on this, because he’s spent a great deal of time in the company of GWB.

    It’s not like the man hasn’t ever been on TV or anything.

    Oh, I see. By “really”, you meant “apparently”. I know, it’s so easy to get those two mixed up.

    I think people mistake the ability to communicate with intelligence. Unlike just about every Democrat politician out there, I think Bush has trouble spinning the truth to suit his political needs. I guess they are more practiced at the art of lying with sincerity and perfect elocution.

    Bush needs to take a few lessons from Bill & Hillary, who have both perfected the art of pathological “truth” spinning. But then they don’t mangle their words, so they’re just brilliant. Right?

    I’d hold that “apparent” inarticulateness and “real” inarticulateness are indistinguishable.

    They made be indistinguishable, but they are different!

    And the dimness, Kimmitt? Are you claiming apparent=actual? If so, I’m going to express how apparently dim this idea makes you.

    I’ll grant you that GWB isn’t the finest example of public speaking ability available to the public, but I didn’t vote for him for saying things well.

    It is my opinion that the man’s intellectual laziness is so profound that it has the same effect as outright stupidity, so I call him “dim.”

    You don’t agree, fine. But since the “Bushisms” were only making fun of his inarticulateness and you have conceded it, then we’re all done here.
