Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Let’s finish the job.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

I really should read my own blog.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

So many bastards, so little time.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

    “Bolton isn’t going to sit in New York while policy gets made in Washington,”

    Is he making policy or is he supposed to be the President’s representative at the UN? Sounds like he needed more office size to accomodate his massive ego and balls.

    Since then, the impasse has focused on Democrats’ demands to see two sets of documents related to Bolton’s State Department work. One involves national security intercepts of conversations. Democrats want to know whether Bolton was seeking secret information on rivals in the intelligence and foreign policy communities.

    I hope he gets the appointment, and then it comes out that he’s the original source (to Libby/Rove) of the Plame leak. It might just be in those documents the White House is hiding

    Well, Bolton will certainly carry a lot of weight with the rest of the UN. A guy who couldn’t get a recommendation from the Senate Judiciary, can’t get a vote in the Senate because Bush is afraid to produce requested information to the Senate about whether Bolton misused classified information, and had to get into the UN through the back door. Not exactly a position of strength from which to “shake up” the UN.

    What I love about this whole thing is that Condi Rice has made it abundantly clear that Bolton is persona non grata as far as she is concerned….and that nobody should listen to anything Bolton has to say because she has set up a separate UN liaison office of her own that reports directly to her.

    The only question at this point is whether Rice has more balls than Colin “I’m a eunuch, but I play a real man on TV” Powell.

    I guess by Doug’s way, we’re giving the UN the respect it deserves. Well, no–Kenny Lay would’ve been a more appropriate member of that body.

    Cordially…

    Who is the asshat from Colorado that gets too much media attention and is often used as a caricature of what “liberals” stand for? We could send that guy. Or maybe Fred Phelps. Or maybe Wayne Brady — because everyone loves Wayne Brady, but we know from the Chapelle show that he can really kick some ass. He could go all, “Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?” on the Security Council if it became recalcitrant.

    Doug you win!

    There was a great quote regarding the Bolton nomination which said “calling John Bolton a diplomat is like calling Jack the Ripper a surgeon”. An apt analogy.

    Good, because what we need is yet another example of these guys over reaching.

    I hope he insults the decrepit, child rapist enabling, pro-dictator, “genocidal inaction” brigade within one week.
    A girl can dream, right?

    Considering he’s representing a country that supports torture, including child rape, and the invasion of a country based on lies, he would be laughed right out of the building.

    So yeh, dream on, ‘cuz that’s all you got.

    Sure, why not. Will he do a Krushchev and bang his shoe on the table when everyone around him basically ignores him?

    I wonder how many UN languages have an equivalent to “you are such a loser, dude, a f**king tool..LMFAO and do something about that mustache!”

    Generally speaking, one isn’t supposed to rail against one’s boss at the UN, but we all know Bolton’s reputation as a loose cannon.
