Although it is in large part mocking me, this is still pretty damned funny.
And here are the Greatest Hits of Atrios.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
He really is that stupid.
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.
“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.
rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius
Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.
I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”
Optimism opens the door to great things.
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.
Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.
Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.
Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Why dso you continue to heap slurs on this woman? And don’t you know that ‘media whore,’ while a regrettable term in this case, is the same thing as ‘whore?’ Really, it was just a coincidence that all the lefties who encouraged their readers to write, call, and e-mail Erick Erickson and leave nasty messages on his voice mail for his wife left out the word ‘media.’
And ‘niggardly’ is a racial slur!

OMG, Michael Moore really is fat! I’m changing my entire worldview.

I thought you were an ‘intellectually honest conservative,’ John Cole. I am done reading you until every post agrees with me!

Well, if you can’t admit any fault in your defense of Erick’s indefensible post… at least you have a sense of humor about it all! And I concur, it is pretty funny. Except for a few parts that are legitimately tragic.
John Cole
Yeah. Because that is what I was doing. Defending Erick’s post.
Why does John Cole hate America?

I’m just trying to imagine a band consisting of Atrios, Krugman, Kaye Grogan, the Mustached Editors Guy and pre-crazy Brian Wilson. It’s not pretty.

Well, John, I knew what you were trying to say, but after four years of watching righties smear everyone who criticizes Bush’s foreign policy with exactly that kind of rhetoric, I’d say a lot of people are pretty defensive about this whole thing.
That said, you seem like a pretty honest and decent guy, and I definitely don’t think it’s fair to lump you in with the snarling Republican attack dogs who promote the “objectively pro-terrorist” narrative and other disingenuously mock-indignant right-wing smear tactics (I also don’t think that’s what Andrew was trying to do, by the way). Either way, I know I’m not “done reading you until every post agrees with me!”.

That’s how I took it, although I mostly agreed with the larger points you were making.
Either way, glad to see you still have a (somewhat brittle) sense of humor about it.
