Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

When we show up, we win.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

More Noor Khan

This post is in: War on Terror aka GSAVE®

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Mahablog has a pretty decent (albeit by now out of date) rundown of reactions from the left.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