Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Bark louder, little dog.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

I was promised a recession.

Let there be snark.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

    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.

    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.
