Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Republicans don’t trust women.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The lights are all blinking red.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Powell- “No Partisan Gunslinger”

Read this Talk Left piece and tell me if my Colin Powell theory still sounds silly.

And yes, I am just joking around.

    Okay, I take back my Richard Clarke theory. The only other non partisan type in the Bush admin was Colin Powell. The latest info from the New York Times shows Powell had received a memo about Valerie Plame before a trip to Africa shortly before Novak printed the Plame story. John’s theory may have been right.

    Well, who ever leaked this particular story did everything possible to implicate Powell….

    What I found more interesting is the email that Rove sent Hadley that said that Cooper “didn’t take the bait.”

    OK, so Powell told Miller and she told Rove and he told Cooper but meanwhile Wilson told Corn and he told the world.

    It sounds like a party game.

    After his conversation with Mr. Cooper, The Associated Press reported Friday, Mr. Rove sent an e-mail message to Stephen J. Hadley, then the deputy national security adviser, saying he “didn’t take the bait” when Mr. Cooper suggested that Mr. Wilson’s criticisms had been damaging to the administration.

    Who didn’t take what bait?

    So Colin Powell found out about Plame on the plane after he read the memo. He told Judith Miller, Bob Novak, Pincus, and Cooper when they called him to get an update on his Africa trip. Miller called Rove and told him. Novak and Cooper called Rove to confirm and Rove admitted that he had heard the story too.

    There, the story is solved.
