Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

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

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

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Everybody saw this coming.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Begin The Wolfowitz Death Watch

Sadly, recent events forced me to take out the peg on my shcadenfreud-ometer. Is it 26 or 76? Who knows.

* World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz personally dictated the rule-breaking pay deal that the WB set up for his girlfriend. Heck, this scandal even has sex in it.
* Drum wraps up the bothched ratf*ck aspect of the Army tour extensions as well as anybody.
* Will Rove’s bad email habits put him back in Patrick Fitzgerald’s spotlight?
* The email scandals in general highlight the way that every scandal seems to only lead to newer, more egregiously heinous misbehavior. Why aren’t people talking about the firing of David Iglesias anymore? Because Gonzales and most of his aides lied their asses off and got caught by their own documents. Why aren’t people talking about Gonzales’s serial mendacity? Because the document dump left out staggering numbers of inappropriatelly filed emails. That would be a top story, except that the White House lost five million of its own internal emails over a two year period. Five million.

As grateful as all this makes me for Congress’s new subpoena power, it seems like almost too much. Does anybody seriously think that the next pullled thread won’t uncover something even more heinous? Of course it will. There’s only so much space on page one, which means that scandals that would have crippled any normal administration will be lucky to get a blurb on A16. Exponential increases cannot last forever, but my general epiphenomenal sense tells me that we have plenty of log phase growth to go before peak schadenfreude.

    “peak schadenfreude” — Has a nice ring, I like it. Is it anything like “peak oil” where the schadenfreude supply reaches a theoretical ceiling, then starts to decline while technology-driven schadenfreude demand continues to climb?
    Does it mean that research into new schadenfreude-extraction technology becomes more and more lucrative as the price of schadenfreude goes up? Will we see international cartels organized to keep schadenfreude off the market to insure that schadenfreude is only available at inflated prices?

    We need a creep wiki to keep track of all the bad actors. A big part of the problems we have now comes from creeps who were tainted by scandal in the Nixon and Reagan presidencies being rehabilitated and given powerful positions in this one. Eliot Abrams still draws a paycheck, to my horror.

    If we can identify the crooks and the crook enablers in a thorough fashion now we can at least try to keep them out of future positions of power.

    Alas, it is too much. As Tim points out, each new revelation overshadows the preceding ones. Ultimately, there will be so many scandals, that all will disappear in a haze, individual scandals will be too difficult to pick out, some blond will disappear/die/be insulted, and we’ll forget about everything that the Bush League has done. The Yin of schadenfreude is balanced with the Yang of reality-based pessimism.

    Talking Points Memo has something called the Grand Ole Docket which keeps track of all the crooks.

    Might be time to have a scandal tracker too. I think what we are witnessing is the beginning of the fall of the whole house of cards that is this administration but peak schadenfreude may be a while away yet. Just think off the top of your head of all the crimes these asshats are implicated in:
    Prisoner abuse
    extraordinary rendition
    intelligence manipulation
    misuse of the FBI against US citizens
    Mercenaries like BlackWater run amok
    The abandonement of the Gulf Coast
    Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, – crimes too numerous to mention on one comment
    David Addington – brains behind the brain dead veep
    Abu Gonzalez – violates Geneva Conventions, Guantonomo advocate, firing prosecutors who don’t swallow etc.

    That is just what I can name in a few seconds thinking. As this process of discovery expect this list to grow exponentially.

    Wolfowitz, having left the shattered fragments of his policy recommendations for green(back)er pastures seems to be getting all the support he deserves from his friends and colleagues. The NYTimes says

    Paul D. Wolfowitz, the embattled president of the World Bank, worked behind the scenes on Friday to gain the support of finance and development ministers from around the world, but there were few endorsements of his leadership outside the Bush administration.

    Few seems to be a synonym for “no”. As for his good buddies in the Bush League, we have this ringing endorsement:

    Throughout the day, Bush administration officials praised Mr. Wolfowitz’s leadership, but at an evening news conference, Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. said … “This should not be read as any lessening of the United States’ support for Paul Wolfowitz” … Asked specifically if he would call for Mr. Wolfowitz to remain as head of the World Bank, he responded, “I said what I said.”

    (To the tune of “O Tannenbaum”) Oh, Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude, how I love you Schadenfreude.

    The FT had another “Wolfie must go!” editorial this morning, as well as more coverage. They’re pissed. They compared Bush’s emphasis on loyalty to the behavior of a Mafia don.

    That’s why I think Wolfowitz won’t hang around. The business world shrugs its shoulders about Bush’s military antics and decides whether to take puts or calls on Iranian oil futures. When it comes to one of their own institutions suddenly having the authority of a dead duck because Bush insists on keeping one of his own cronies in the top slot, things start to heat up very very quickly.

    It’s like cleaning your bathroom. You start out with a bucket and a mop thinking you’re doing the right thing, but by the time you start cleaning behind the toilet you begin to suspect there are something things man was never ment to see or know.

    And yet, if you don’t clean behind the toilet, the fungus kingdom that’s claimed fedual domain back there will probably try and take over the rest of your house.

    So it’s dirty work, and no one really wants to do it, but better we get it done now than let that stinky cesspool get any stinkier or more cesspooly.

    Just be glade our country’s media sources have the “depressurize” button on authentic page 1 journalism. Without ANS taking front page every now and again, how are we supposed to take Attorny Purge scandals seriously?

    “The United States” is not an entity with one particular mindset. The United States is a melting pot of thought, with naysayers and passivity both in play via thoughts of everyday Americans, and you don’t speak for my point of view as a citizen, dick-for-brains!

    Wolfowitz’s sweetheart deal (literally) is one of the more disgusting episodes of political nepotism, on either side of the political spectrum, to come to light is quite some time. Just as revolting is this highly paid, corrupt scum’s half- assed “I didn’t know the rules” plea for “understanding.” You don’t need an conflicts procedures manual to know this is absurdly unethical.

    I’ve had a major grudge against this clueless f*ck from the beginning of the Iraq war. I consider him personally culpable for the deaths of thousands; now we see that he is thoroughly rotten as regards personal morality too.

    It’s time for Wolfowitz to be booted out of public life permanently: throw him to the wolves!

    I looked up the WaPo editorial in sglover‘s posting above and found this:

    But it’s not particularly helpful, as Mr. Leahy did in a speech on the Senate floor, to invoke “the infamous 18-minute gap in the Nixon White House tapes” or to accuse the administration of deliberately causing the e-mails to disappear.

    The Washington Pontificationist strokes its collective chin and comes up with “not helpful”. By all means, let us be civil to the point of numbness and not display any pique. Presumably, it would be helpful to accept the administration’s explanation of “Gee, we don’t know how this could have happened,” and move on. Au contraire, you shining example of the decline of the US press. It is very helpful to tie this event to similar historical occurrences and to put the administration in the position of having to provide an explanation. Unless, of course, it’s not helpful to risk rousing the populace from somnolence.

    While I have no doubt that many in Arab countries do dislike Wolfowitz primarily for that reason, it’s irrelevant to the present discussion. Wolfowitz was not doing a particularly good job at the World Bank, and his salary for Riza was pure nepotism. But his egregious misstatements leading up to the Iraq cluster fuck are what I dislike most about him.

    ‘Twill be interesting to see how this plays out over the next week. If Wolfie hasn’t been totally burnt he’s definitely been toasted. A lot of countries are waiting to see the recommendation of the board. Board says Wolfie should go, that’s it.

    Now the question is a) how much string-pulling the Bush Admin is willing to do about members of the board and b) how important the World Bank is considered in world affairs by the financial community. Particularly, how important will it be that the anti-corruption campaigns really get off the ground. If Wolfie stays around with a slap on the wrist, a lot of the soft power of the WB suddenly vanishes and we go back to the “making noises about anti-corruption and you pretend to do something about it.”

    “Since taking over, Wolfowitz has made anti-corruption efforts a priority

    except for his own dealings”, according to reports.

    “We have seen visionary leadership, steadfast progress under Mr. Wolfowitz,” said Liberia’s finance minister, Antoinette Sayeh. “We can only say that we look forward to that continuing,

    so that we can continue siphoning money into our own pockets.”

    Paulson called Wolfowitz “a very dedicated public servant” and said the review process by the board should be allowed to proceed

    until they find him innocent of these spurious, unfounded charges.
