Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

People are complicated. Love is not.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

More Noor Khan

The Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan connection to the London bombings and the possibility that the Bush administration blew the cover of a double agent connected to the London attacks has temporarily pushed aside the Plame/Rove debate and is currently getting the blog equivalent of the full-court press from the left-wing of the debate.

Mahablog has a pretty decent (albeit by now out of date) rundown of reactions from the left.

I, as always, cowardly suspend final judgement and issue the usual terse statement: “If this is true, something should hit the fan.”

Maha is also not buying the latest turn of events regarding Plame/Rove/Novak.

    Nothing will hit the fan. To most of the modern Right, Bush is more important than the country. Nothing and noone will be spared to protect the perception of the God-like W.

    Welcome to the new USSR.

    Maha is talking about an indictment of someone…

    WHO?

    It would have to be for lying to a grand jury. But hey! We all know that lying to a grand jury is nothing to get excited about. At least, that’s what we were led to believe a few years ago.

    “Welcome to the new USSR.”

    Yeah, the similarities are really eerie.

    Yeah, the similarities are really eerie.

    I’d say, welcome back to the Nixon administration is far more accurate. Those parallels, especially regarding the Plame Case (as compared to Watergate) are really eerie.

    I think the second impeachment of a President in American history is rather a big deal, but let’s not let facts interfere with the relentless dead horse thrashing.

    There’s one rather large difference. During the Watergate era, there were ethical Republicans who put the country ahead of their party. Sadly, that is not the case today.
