Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

A consequence of cucumbers

The revolution will be supervised.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

No Justins, No Peace

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The words do not have to be perfect.

So many bastards, so little time.

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

And the winner is- AG Gonzalez!:

NUMBER ONE WORST PROSECUTOR IN THE COUNTRY: THE WINNER IS U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALES

Alberto Gonzales – The Attorney General (AG) of the United States, in Washington D.C., Alberto Gonzales, earns the first place on our list of ten worst prosecutors in the United States for being what many have called the worst AG in our nation’s history. His involvement in the firings of nine United States Attorneys and the politicization of the Justice Department form the basis for which he was selected as the worst prosecutor in the United States in 2007. When he testified in front of the U.S. Congress, he allegedly committed perjury by his false statements, inconsistent statements, and all of his “I don’t knows.” Members of his own Department of Justice and the Head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, have contradicted his testimony. Even Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee considers Gonzales to be a liar. Gonzales may be the target of a major investigation by a Special Prosecutor; he continues to be the subject of Congressional investigations, and should be investigated by the Integrity Office of the United States Department of Justice, and the State Bar of Texas Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel for his unethical actions while White House Counsel and Attorney General. Maybe Gonzales also earns this top spot by how United States Senator Charles Schumer sums up listening to the testimony of Gonzales under oath: “He tells the half-truth, the partial truth and anything but the truth.” Other than that, he has been a model government lawyer.

By comparison, disgraced and disbarred Mike Nifong of Duke Lacrosse fame is deemed to be only the third worst prosecutor in the country. At least one branch of this administration is striving for excellence. (via Scott Horton)

    What amazes me is how cowardly, given all that has transpired the last few years, the Dems in Congress are. Check the AG for his incompetence, arrogance, and generally ineffectual abilities? Why, of course not. Instead, they hold hearings, bitch and whine, then give him the power to wiretap American citizens without warrants.

    Fuckers.

    but Leahy’s gonna write a sternly-worded letter recommending AG come by and lie to them some more, if he doesn’t shape up. and he means it, this time!

    As a former criminal defense attorney, the only thing I hate worse than crooked cops is dishonest prosecutors.

    Abuse of power is a bigger threat to our freedom than anything.

    We don’t need government to protect us from murderers and rapists. Lynch mobs can handle that.

    But who will protect us from government?

    Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    A whiff of anthrax can do that to a person. Oh, isn’t anyone investigating the anthrax case, that domestic attempt to murder the leadership of the Democratic Party? What, no-one? Nothing being done, no progress for SIX GODDAM YEARS?

    Who is in charge of that investigation? Oh yeah, him.

    Uh, no he didn’t. He specifically backed away from that claim to conclude that AG DIDN’T lie.

    I was going to add some snark about this kind of list being produced by evil [defense] trial lawyers, but I see that the two main contributors are former federal prosecutors.
