Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

No one could have predicted…

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

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

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

When I say the lies and distortions from the NY times and her cronies are less than helpful, I am not exaggerating. Now the Chicoms are seizing on the election year politicking of the Times and the Democrats:

The United States should face the truth instead of playing around with the reality over the issue ofIraqi war, said China’s English-language newspaper China Daily in a signed article Friday.

“The United States would do itself and the world a huge favor by establishing a closer relationship with reality rather than wrestling with its own version of the truth, as the international credibility of American military intelligence is simply of zero value,” said the article.

“The truth is the United States used the threat of Iraqi WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and a connection to al-Qaida as justification for launching the war against the regime of Saddam Hussein,” it stressed.

According to a report Wednesday by a US commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, no credible evidence has been found that former Iraqi President Saddam Husseinaided al-Qaida attempts to target the United States.

“We have no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qaida cooperatedon attacks against the United States,” said the report, issued by the bipartisan commission after two days of public hearings into the Sept. 11 attacks.

Meanwhile, the Bush administration so far still could not collect enough evidence that Saddam Hussein would give whatever WMD he possessed to terrorists, although it treated as a proven fact, said the article.

As the US government did not get support from the report for waging war in Iraq, “it is likely the Bush team will face more backlash both at home and abroad,” the article added.

Hitchens On Moore

Go read the whole thing, in all of its savage glory, as Hitchens destroys Michael Moore:

I leave you with this tasty morsel:

If Michael Moore had had his way, Slobodan Milosevic would still be the big man in a starved and tyrannical Serbia. Bosnia and Kosovo would have been cleansed and annexed. If Michael Moore had been listened to, Afghanistan would still be under Taliban rule, and Kuwait would have remained part of Iraq. And Iraq itself would still be the personal property of a psychopathic crime family, bargaining covertly with the slave state of North Korea for WMD. You might hope that a retrospective awareness of this kind would induce a little modesty. To the contrary, it is employed to pump air into one of the great sagging blimps of our sorry, mediocre, celeb-rotten culture. Rock the vote, indeed.

Can’t wait to see the spin from Atrios on this one:

Most Americans say that Ronald Reagan, who died this month, will be remembered as a better president than Bill Clinton, who is trying to improve his image with a new autobiography, according to an Associated Press poll.

Seven in 10 say history will judge Reagan superior, based on the survey conducted one week after the Republican icon’s state funeral and nonstop media coverage focused not only on the ceremonies marking his death at age 93 but a lifetime of achievements from Hollywood to the White House.

Out of office just 3 1/2 years, Clinton recently returned to the limelight with a primetime interview to publicize his memoir, “My Life,” which goes on sale Tuesday. The expectation long before the 957-page book reached the stores was a tome that would provide insights into the sexual scandal with a White House intern and impeachment

Kevin Drum has a long post up about the media and their biases, and he includes as an example the “Al Gore Inventing the Internet” memes as one of his least favorite examples of media laziness. I agree with much of what he says, particularly this:

I agree with Bob that the biggest problem with the national press isn’t really either liberal bias or conservative bias, but rather laziness, pack mentality, inability to resist spin (despite their cynical pose), and a willingness to compromise themselves in order to retain access. All of which means that the press is creating storylines this year with the same reckless abandon that they did in 2000.

My favorite example of media bias and laziness all wrapped up into one is the absurd ‘Bush 1 shocked by grocery scanning technology,’ which, of course, was brought to you courtesy of Andrew Rosenthal and the DNC syndicate known frequently called the NY Times and the Boston Globe.

Here, the Rosenthal simply made up a story for the Times from a pool report of another journalist, and his story was used as the backbone for several editorials in those papers, which were then used as talking points by the Clinton gang to show how ‘out of touch’ Bush was. I even remember Paul Begala and others using this as an example on CNN numerous times.

Had Al Gore invented theinternet earlier, I could google it and tell you exactly who said what and when they said it, but, alas, we will simply have to rely on my memory.
