Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This really is a full service blog.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Second rate reporter says what?

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Bark louder, little dog.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

The willow is too close to the house.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

Giving the Finger To This Meme

Apparently, the left wing of the blogosphere is all atwitter about Bush giving the finger to reporters. Barry Johnson at Cynical Nation gives this whole silliness the finger.

Literally. Pictures and everything.

    Hey John, off topic here but I was wondering what your opinion is of guys like Russ Feingold, far left politicians who you probably disagree with 90% of the time, but who don’t fall into the “looney left” and are generally considered good men/women with lots of integrity.

    I guess I’m just curious how partisan you are when it comes to voting, like would you vote for Feingold (not to pick on him) over someone like Santorum or Frist in a presidential election?

    In general, who are some realistic presidential dem contenders you would at least consider voting for?

    Oh, and I was wondering what you think about Wes Clark.

    At first I felt silly asking these question, but I guess the point of visiting your blog is to get your take on things, so I hope you don’t mind me picking your brain like this!

    It looked like the finger at first but I’m sure its his thumb.

    Jay Leno showed it last night. I thought it was a joke and that he had doctored it. It does look like he is flippin’ the bird….though, I find the ‘thumbs up’ much more believable.

    I think the whole thing is pretty funny.

    I may have to re-think my previous position that Bush is a lousy communicator.

    I’m glad the president is flipping off the MSM. As when Dick Cheney told that Democratic Senator to “go f**k himself”, it’s about time someone did something like that.

    Glad that somebody cleared that up. God knows Bush would never do that.

    Boo hoo. Suddenly the Right is offended by FAUX outrage instead of manufacturing it.

    Bush and Cheney and the other warmongers curse and give the finger in public because they dont give a damn about anything except power.
