Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

No one could have predicted…

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The revolution will be supervised.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Infrastructure week. at last.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Kerry and Edwards are not gay, and if they were, who cares.

Idiot homophobes.

*** Update ***

The Instapundit links to two flash videos that demonstrate how stupid this whole Kerry/Edwards touching thing is.

    I think you’re over-reacting John. I’m certain the CJR is, for printing that buffoonish column.

    Politics is a contact sport, but that don’t mean constant touching. So jokes get made; no one is hurt.

    Cordially…

    there will be, no doubt about it, Bush voters galvanized by this line of attack. Rove + pals probably know exactly how many. They’ll be giving every prejudice a little drop of fertilizer in the coming months. Just enough so that the homophobes know who to vote for and turn out on the day. Moonies! They sure know.

    On the one hand, I agree that John and John are not gay. Obviously any insinuations to the contrary are ridiculous, and criticisms based on such insinuations nothing but frosting.

    On the other hand, except to the extent that people actually believe their incessant touching is a strike against them (as in the Washington Times article), making fun of politicians is older than time, and shouldn’t be criticized as such. “Bush is dumb!” is cheap mockery, but if you like cheap mockery, more power to you. I don’t read humorous posts on blogs (for example) and assume that the humor directly translates into a legitimate policy reason to vote to or for anyone, but I certainly enjoy laughing at the humorous blogs.
