Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Republicans in disarray!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

I was promised a recession.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

This fight is for everything.

    Wilfred McClay over at Democracy Project has a pretty good take on it and cited her column.

    Hey John:

    Couldn’t make it very far through the Nooner column. Once it turned into a swooning rememberance of Nixon she lost me… she’s embarrassingly bad most times out of the gate. But hey, at least she wasn’t going on about Reagan – again.

    Check out Matt Welch on Rather:

    I think Matt really nails the psychosis that was Diamond Dan.

    The Matt Welch take on Dan Rather is far, far more damning than the worst comment made by Peggy Noonan. However, disagree with Brian that Noonan’s “bad most times…” I suspect that’s a non-objective political judgment on both our parts, however.
