Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

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

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

The lights are all blinking red.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

    Edith Jones has been on short lists for a potential Supreme Court seat since Ronald Reagan was in his second term–and the usual suspects on the left have been preparing to unleash the slime hoses on her for the whole time. If it’s her up for Rehnquist’s seat, prepare for an attack campaign that makes the campaign against Janice Rogers-Brown look like a tea party by comparison.

    Ted Olson? What, is Paula Jones otherwise occupied?

    What about State Rep. John Ford? His schedule just opened up.

    Cordially…

    i remember when the “list” came out for the new homeland security guy after ridge was stepping down and the “list” had about 6 or 7 names on it and when i got to the name Kerik, I said “there he is” and i knew it would be a colossal F-up. And it was. From this list you just posted, the name Ted Olson sticks out like a sore thumb just like Kerik’s did. Wife dies on a 9/11 plane, Paula Jones, etc (don’t think Bush won’t play that to the hilt) and therefore Olson will be a F-up. Just get someone in the SC that isn’t a career F-up like Thomas has been in the SC. No lapdogs please. I just beg that any nominee isn’t a lapdog. Kinda tough to ask of this Administration.

    I don’t care for his judicial philosophy and he has some baggage but Ted Olsen is very qualified to be an Associate Justice of the SCOTUS. That being said from a judicial philosophy I hope it isn’t Olsen. Whoever Bush nominates that person will be very conservative.

    Hey, Oliver! Congrats on making the big time!

    The nominee will be female and/or a minority.

    The only way it will be a white male is if it’s repayment for past favors or prepayment for future favors, i.e. Bolton and Kerik.

    Filling the Vacancies on the US Supreme Court

    Three interesting items this week regarding filling future vacancies on the Supreme Court.

    First, the Huffinton Post newswire reports here that the Bush Administration is looking exclusively at Associate Justice Antonin Scalia as Chief Justice to …
