Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Let me file that under fuck it.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

In my day, never was longer.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

When we show up, we win.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

In Defense of Tereza

At the Kerry Spot, I see Jim Geraghty tryingto make the case that Tereza Heinz Kerry simply does not belong on the campaign trail, and he offers this anecdote as evidence:

I realize most Kerry Spot readers, including the most important one named Mom, cannot stand Teresa Heinz Kerry. But I hear stories like this, or her comment about how she roots for the Pittsburgh Steelers while in Cleveland (garnering boos from Browns fans), and I just feel bad for her. This poor woman does not belong anywhere near the campaign trail.

I don’t know Geraghty’s background, but it is clear he does not understand some fundamentals about Pittsburgh:

A.) For a ‘Burgh native, it is a capital offense to fail to root for the Steelers when they are playing the Browns.

B.) Should a ‘Burgh native not only fail to root for the Steelers, but, *SHUDDER*, root for the Browns, the Death Penalty becomes an option.

Tereza may have been a bad campaigner when failing to root for the Browns, but she was just doing her loyal duty and fulfilling her obligations as a Pittsburgh native. It really is that simple.

BTW- the Steelers home field is Heinz field.

    Agreed–team loyalty in “enemy” territory is a virtue. A virtue that can get beer thrown on you, of course, but a virtue nonetheless

    It’s funny but we feel the same way about the Squealers.

    BTW, Ketchup Park is just as butt-ugly as Three Rivers ever was. :{P

    I went to watch my Raiders stomp the Steelers in that park Week 2 of the Super Bowl season two years ago. I believe it was the second year the stadium had been open and I have to say it’s one of the nicest I’ve ever been in.

    And I agree wholeheartedly that it was absolutely required of her to maintain team loyalty in this instance (though, really, I tend to doubt Teh-ray-zuh is actually a football fan).

    In the mid 80’s, I attended a Steelers/Clowns game in Cleveland- I sat in the “Dogpound” in full Steelers attire and had a great time joking with the other fans with no problems.

    Of course, the Steelers lost 42-7 or something like that… :o(
