Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

So many bastards, so little time.

This blog will pay for itself.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The willow is too close to the house.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

When we show up, we win.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

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

Free Rosario

This post is in: General Stupidity

I don’t know if I would have arrested Rosario Dawson, but I sure as hell would have frisked her. Twice. Thoroughly. Weapons of Mass Distraction, I say.

Swift Boats

My father informed me this morning that he thinks Jack Chenoweth of Swift Boat fame may have been his fraternity brother at Theta Chi at Ohio University in the early 60’s.

The Clenis

Line of the day:

“Sometimes I think our friends on the other side have become the people of the Nine Commandments,” Mr. Clinton said. “It is wrong to bear false witness.”

Clinton was unavailable for comment on Commandment’s 4, 7, and 10.

Another One Bites The Dust

by John Cole|  August 29, 200411:00 am| 22 Comments

This post is in: Media

Hugh Hewitt give repugnant lefty Jim Boyd a well-deserved beating. The lefty hack still can not argue in good faith, and continues to do nothing but throw insults. Compare his piece to the folks at Powerlineblog.

The best line, though, is this one from Boyd:

I could do extensive line-by-line analysis, but I will not. It would take space I do not have.

Two columns Boyd has written, calling the folks at the Powerlineblog liars and frauds.

Two columns, and he has not refuted one fact.

HAcktackular- Someone get him a job with the Kerry campaign or Media Matters.

The Media Matters Bend-Over Boy

Watch Atrios shill like the whore he is:

First Lady Attacks War Record of Decorated Hero

Astounding:

TIME: Do you think these swift-boat ads are unfair to John Kerry?

BUSH: Do I think they’re unfair? Not really.

We have a First Lady who spits on Veterans for sport. Disgusting.

Of course, here is the full Time quote:

TIME: Do you think these swift-boat ads are unfair to John Kerry?

BUSH: Do I think they’re unfair? Not really. There have been millions of terrible ads against my husband.

Laura Bush’s context of fairness is not the charge themselves, but ‘fair’ in relation to what has been thrown at ther husband. And the Democrats are the smart, nuanced ones. Assholes.

Asshole Protestors

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

So the GOP and the City spend a bunch of time and money getting people in place toi help guide delegates tothe convention. The typical Democratic response- dress up like the people the GOP has trained and give conventioneers false directions in an intentional ‘disinformation’ campaign.

Petulant children.
