Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

I was promised a recession.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

The choice is between normal and crazy.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Condi: Cheney Channeling Kucinich

Methinks SoS Rice just discovered an amusing loophole.

Rice Insists Cheney Supports Diplomacy for Iran

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that Vice President Cheney fully supports a diplomatic course over Iran’s nuclear program, denying impressions of divisions among President Bush’s foreign-policy advisers.

“The president of the United States has made very clear what our policy is. That policy is supported by all of the members of his cabinet — and by the vice president of the United States,” Rice said at a news conference here after talks with Spanish officials.

The veep supports engaging with Iran? Baloney. Sensible people including and especially Condoleeza Rice recognize that the vice president views talking with Iran as one step removed from giving Osama Bin Laden a cabinet post. But we also know that Cheney will speak to the press when pigs fly. Hmm.

    Only problem is, ElBaradei’s “new crazies” aren’t all that new. Hell, Cheney himself let slip his gameplan for Iran about 2 years ago when he said that he thought Israel might attack first. Problem is, Israel has been, to this point, saying, “No…YOU guys attack Iran.”

    Everybody wants to jump in the pool. Its just a matter who does the first cannonball off the high board.

    If you didn’t care what happened to me
    and I didn’t care for you
    we would zig-zag our way through the boredom and pain
    occasionally glancing up through the rain
    wondering which of the buggers to blame
    and watching for pigs on the wing.

    I’m still waiting for Playboy to issue their “Girls of the Bush Cabinet” featuring Margret Spellings, Elaine Chao, Michael Chertoff, and Condelezzie Rice in a pair of pumps and a pink thong.

    Is that anything like the Crazy Girls posters, billboards and statue in Vegas? I think I’ll pass. Crazy Girls is much nicer on the eyes, I think.

    On their Momentary Lapse of Reason album the song “The Dogs of War” is an extremely telling description of BushCo, I’ve always felt.

    The wording here is ambiguous. Are we just talking about Condie in the pumps/thong combo? If not, is it separate pumps/thongs for all of the above, or all of them squeezed into the same pair?

    Let’s put Spellings in a teddy, Cherty in some stockings, and Chao just naked as a jaybird, aside from the drapes and carpeting, licking the top corner of the Constitution.

    Yes, John, I’ve hijacked your post. My bad.

    And the response, from “final cut”:

    ‘Get your filthy hands off my desert!’

    You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
    So that when they turn their backs on you, you’ll get your chance to put the knife in.

    You’ve gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
    You know it’s gonna get harder (harder) harder (harder) as you get older… yeah, but in the end you’ll pack up, fly down south.. hide your head in the sand…

    Yeah, that sounds like Bush too. Great song! So much of what Pink Floyd did reminds me of our current political affairs.

    Ah, but of course. I know who I’d pick for “big man, pig man” but I’m still not sure about the fucked up old hag. Rove perhaps?

    Well, I’ll bet Rove is hot stuff with a hat pin and good fun with a hand gun.

    Okay, Pink Floyd aside, can’t Cheney just give an interview to Limbaugh or Fox?
