Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

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

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

    Lucky for me, I LOVE Billmon’s politics.

    He is by far the best thing to ever come out of Daily Kos.

    Come on, you really think Karl Rove would be booted for perjury and obstruction of justice? More likely that Nancy Pelosi would have to resign because of her wild, unfounded accusations of “treason”.

    You have to ask yourself this: which is worse, lying to a federal prosecutor and engaging in a criminal conspiracy, or accusing someone of treason when all they’ve really done is lie to a federal prosecutor and engage in a criminal conspiracy? I think I know how most people would answer that one, and that’s why the radical left will be the big losers when Fitzgerald issues his indictments.

    DougJ,

    You are failing to acknowledge the deeper story. The outing of a CIA operative is but a small part of the investigation. If Fitz has indeed dug deeper into the inner workings of the White House Iraq Group (WHIG), then he will have blown wide open the larger conspiracy that will implicate more than just Rove and Libby.

    Lying to the world about reasons to go to war IS the treason and conspiracy most in the reality base community have been bitching about for the last 3 years, not just Rove’s outing of an operative.

    And you ask what is worse? I’d say a conspiracy that has killed and maimed thousands of Americans and killed 10’s of thousands of Iraqi’s, whose only crime was living in Iraq when we invaded!

    Doug J, Are you saying that an accusation of treason is worse than criminal behavior? If that is what you are saying, it is very silly.

    JoeTx, I was snarking. That’s my metier. I don’t usually tell people that, but your answer was so right on that I didn’t want to pull your leg any further.

    You’re exactly right: it’s the context of the story that makes the crime so insidious.

    I think you meant “schtick.”

    Doug J,

    You have to be visiting Free Republic b/c that really is the conventional wisdom over there. They actually believe that after all this Fitzgerald is going to come back with indictments against Wilson and Plame. Oh yeah and Hillary orchestrated the whole thing.

    I know. That’s why I stopped saying it myself. I guess they watched too many Perry Mason episodes where the wrong guy is on trial and some other guy from the gallery ends up getting convicted.
