Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

Everybody saw this coming.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Republicans in disarray!

Via Digby, this Think Progress piece:

This morning the Wall Street Journal reported that Senate Democrats were planning “to grill Bush confidant Karen Hughes” about her involvement in the ever widening leak-case. But, Senate Democrats must have gotten lost on the way to the hearing. Not one showed up. Instead, according to the Associated Press:

“A scaled-back Senate Foreign Relations Committee showered praise Friday on Karen Hughes and put the former political adviser to President Bush on a fast track to confirmation as the State Department’s top public relations official.”

In all fairness, it is hard to mount a concerted opposition to EVERYTHING this administration does…

    It is nice to see that Liberals still feel free to criticize their party when they are dissatisfied, rather than being in lockstep with them – no matter what.

    You’d think they would have had at least one show up — just as a token.

    Then again, maybe they all got the date and time wrong. I wonder how something like that could happen.

    I think this comes under the James Carville quote, “when your enemy is drowning, throw the Son of a Bitch an anchor”.

    Let her be confirmed, (she would be anyhow) and if she is involved, she will be part of the Administration doing the perp walk.

    There are bigger fish to fry anyhow.

    In all fairness…

    John,

    Well, right away, you’re dismissing the leftwingers there.

    But keep that perp-walk dream alive, you nutters.

    Cordially…

    As I heard it the other day, Karen Hughes also was called in front of Fitzgerald. I’m not sure what she was questioned about, but, hey, if she’s going to get appointed anyway, she’ll be another potential co-conspirator in the administration.

    That could be the strategy. Or maybe not.

    Isn’t Karen Hughes the school-marmy one? Maybe Dems realized what asses they’d look like on TV attacking such a nice looking old lady.

    Well as a general rule of thumb, those who are called before a Federal grand jury are not the target of the investigation. Which begs the question- have Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame been called to testify?
