Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

We still have time to mess this up!

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

The Greatest Web Video EVER

by John Cole|  March 27, 20078:44 am| 66 Comments

This post is in: Excellent Links, Blogospheric Navel-Gazing

FacebookTweetEmail

Via Ezra Klein, this clip from BloggingheadsTV featuring Garance Franke-Ruta and Ann Althouse.

This video clip is just spectacular for several reasons, but the Althouse meltdown that starts at the five minute mark (over a controversy I had never even heard of until today) is particularly delightful, especially after having just listend to her explain to us all how nasty the left blogosphere is to her.

For extra fun, count how many times Althouse says “I” in the short clip. And in case you are enjoying yourself too much, the offending statement was:

“I am not aware of anything until the whole Jessica Valenti breast controversy.”

That was the outrageous smear that started the Althouse meltdown.

    I never heard of it myself until yesterday. Althouse did make something out of nothing with the photo of Jessica with fellow bloggers and Bill Clinton. And then in the chat exchange with Franke-Ruta, her instability shined through. The bigger question is why does Althouse care about Jessica’s boobs? Repressed desire or stupid comment. Whatever it was, she should fess up and either ask Jessica on a date or apologize for making a few regrettable, stupid comments. As far as I see it, that chat with Franke-Ruta was her chance to come clean or apologize!

    Bill Clinton is a goldmine for showing hypocrisy on the left.
    The “Clinton did it too reply” defense works better when someone uses Bill Clinton to defend the Bush administration.
    Ann Althouse is not a member of the Bush administration.
    Note that Bill Clinton’s mock outrage with Fox News occurred last year.

    That’s a pretty cool idea. It reminds me of one I’d give my students if I were a professor of literature somewhere. I’d planned on having them rewrite “Dune,” only changing all references to desert and making Arrakis a frozen planet where heat was valuable instead of water. We could call it “Iceberg” or “Blizzard” instead, or even something simple like “Snow.” I’m not sure what would replace the Spice, though. Probably some kind of special giant seal blubber that absorbed heat, making it a frost planet. The giant seals are connected with the blubber, but it takes approximately 2/3 of the book before anyone figures out the connection.

    Anyway, that was my idea. Then, the next year I could make my students re-write “Dune” using a planet where giant fungus absorbed all the light. Then, the year after that, an all-water atmosphere planet where oxygen was priceless. Then, the year after that, I could force them to reread all these other books. At this point, the course would become completely circular, but somehow I’d still hope for tenure.

    Ho ho ho, bitches!

    Modern fashion designers have the bodies of 12-year-old boys? That’s pretty eerie, if you ask me. Is the fashion world recruiting designers from the sixth grade now? Or is it just that fashion designers are notably malnourished and poorly developed, due to an excessive devotion to their work and an insufficient devotion to basic nutrition and other physical requirements?

    You’re missing the point. What happened to Clinton was a smear because Wallace asked Clinton “Why didn’t you do more to put bin Laden and al-Qaida out of business when you were president?” As if our problems with bin Laden and al-Qaida was soley Clinton’s fault, when there were presidents before him and the one we have in office now. President Bush still has not caught bin-Laden 6 years after the fact.

    What happened to Althouse was not a smear because she was involved in a “Jessica Valenti breast controversy” that her and commenters to her blog created. Valenti didn’t make an issue of it, Althouse did.

    If you really want to see Clinton lose his cool the same way that Althouse did then see this clip or read the transcript. In this case, valid questions surrounding Clinton’s actions while President were asked, and Clinton lost his temper because he was being forced to be held accountable.

    We never witness valid exchanges like this in the MSM so I can understand why you’d be confused.

    Bill Clinton’s outrage was mock.

    Immediately, he cued up his patented expression of mock outrage. Of Bill’s emotions, all of which are mock, this is the most convincing, perhaps because he has practiced it the most, and because it doesn’t require him to bite his lower lip.

    Look, if it weren’t for Althouse’s vigilance, clinton-breast-assassins would’ve overrun the world by now. This is the same person who wrote:

    http://althouse.blogspot.com/2005/07/how-dangerous-is-that-shoot-to-kill.html
    It’s terrible that the poor man was shot to death yesterday by the London police who had reason to think he was a terrorist. But should we worry that the shoot-to-kill policy will result in more deaths?

    Really, it should be quite unlikely for the same sort of thing to happen again, just as it’s very unlikely that anyone will ever again hijack an airplane with a small knife. That method of hijacking an airplane ended on the morning of September 11, 2001, when everyone who might in the future ride on an airplane received an unforgettable lesson that they must respond actively and rush the hijackers and restrain them at any cost to themselves. Similarly, everyone — at least in London — now knows not to run from the police, especially not onto a train and while wearing bulky clothing.

    Is it not true that yesterday’s sad mistake has already solved the problem it represents? In fact, a further good has been created: as ordinary persons change their behavior and drop the bulky clothing and unnecessary running, the real terrorists will stand out more. Indeed, if anyone ever behaves like Jean Charles de Menezes again, the presumption that he is a terrorist will be so overwhelmingly strong that the police really must kill him.

    “Like your opinion that George W Bush is a idiot despite getting better grades at Yale than John Kerry.”

    That just shows that Bush had enough familial pull to get his grades bumped up. Kerry’s grades were earned, Bush’s should have been F’s. And Bush was working to his full potential to get them.

    What’s amazing about Althouse’s implosion is that, essentially, GFR was using the Boob controversy as nothing more than a milestone, a date marker, for when she tuned into Althouse and the alleged liberal abuse thereof.

    Oh, the other thing that amazes me is that Althouse was whining about her mistreatment, and then GFR mentions the breast conflagration, which could have been a great opportunity for Althouse to note the egregious behavior of the ‘perfidious’ left.

    Instead, she flames out, insisting that bringing it up is, in itself, abuse.

    She just wants to play the martyr, without letting anyone examine the nails, lest they discover that they aren’t real and any injury is self-inflicted.

    Like your opinion that George W Bush is a idiot despite getting better grades at Yale than John Kerry.

    From the Boston Globe:

    But newly released records show that Bush and Kerry had a virtually identical grade average at Yale University four decades ago.

    Cumulative average of 77 (Bush) versus 76 (Kerry). Jesus. I got better grades than those dumbasses, only half-trying. (Not at Yale, but instead at an Ivy-wannabe that only occasionally breaks into the top 10.)

    Althouse is on the warpath against young women with nice breasts because she’s hosing some student and probably worried that he’ll leave her for a woman who can’t tuck her boobs into her pants. Check out their “Portraits” on her Flickr page. She put the link on her blog.

    I think it is great that woman have breasts. Now you will take me to task about viewing women as sex objects.

    I always assumed that you were the type who preferred uppity chicks who wear glasses. But I suppose they have breasts too. Go go glasses moe!

    Truer words were never spoken.

    Rarely is the question asked: do lampshades flurk uquadda mnyut ashtray elephant dingus cement-mixer embargo?
