Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Let there be snark.

After roe, women are no longer free.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

In my day, never was longer.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The State of the Debate

This post is in: 

Everything that is wrong with politics in America can be summed up by what I just saw on Hardball. The topic was Guantanamo Bay, and the guests were a lifelong CIA analyst/interrogator, a representative from Amnesty International, and…

A talk radio host.

It even said “talk show host” underneath his name.

The terrorists have won.

    And did the radio host yell like a deaf man?

    They often seem to do that when they appear on TV.

    (For that matter, what’s the deal with that British guy who covers the UN scandals for Fox? He’s always shouting.)

    The Talk Radio Host is basically the High Priest. He kills the goat and offers its heart up to the gods. If there is no clap of thunder, then the rest of the ceremony can proceed.

    Or something.

    John, you really need to get a grip. You don’t seriously expect substance on “Hardball?” Matthews is no different than Hannity, O’Reilly or any of the other talking heads…they all just like to hear themselves talk. Why anybody listens is beyond me.

    I once saw Larry King interview Christine Amanpour (live from Kabul!) about the legal fate of Osama Bin Laden if he were caught in Aghanistan. At least she look bemused as she told him she wasn’t really up on the Afghan legal system or if one existed.

    Well, they need someone they can count on to tow the batshit crazy Bush party line, and who else but some lunatic talk radio cretin can they count on to do that so well?

    Notice I said “Bush party line” — cause that maroon and his entire inept administration are not the Republican party I want to be in anymore.

    But I agree with Steven above, Matthew’s rating are, and have always been, in the tank. Personaly, I stopped watching when he congratulated his own past Peace Corps service for the 1000th time.
