Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

It’s a doggy dog world.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The words do not have to be perfect.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Karma

This post is in: Republican Stupidity

NYC plans to investigate whether Rudy Giuliani’s mismanagement of the emergency response system caused unnecessary deaths on 9/11. The investigation apparently follows a recent film publicizing the most credible allegations against him, but given the bitter taste that Giuliani’s administration left in New York (one among many, many examples) I doubt that too many will sweat the timing.

    What with the film/transcripts of some of his more egregious press conferences, the pictures of him in drag or with Bernie Kerik, clips of him espousing opinions that are anathema to “value voters” (e.g., about gay civil unions, abortion and the like) — how has this bozo gained any traction in the Republican party at all?

    I seriously don’t get it. Is it just because he’s from New York and isn’t Hillary Clinton?

    I don’t know if that’s “karma” so much as “responsible politics and administration of one of America’s largest cities”. Kinda like watching an axe murderer get the chair. I wouldn’t call that karma either.

    Several months ago somebody posted on the groupnewsblog that Rudy had made a lot of enemies on his way to Mayor of 9-11, and that many of those people were eagerly sharpening their knives, waiting for the right time to slip them in. Looks like he or she was right.

    The real Rudy.

    Merely the entire state of NY who, despite the rest of the nations infatuation with “America’s mayor” still loathe the POS.

    What Dreggas said.
    Oh, and if you look beyond the NYPD you’ll see he generally had about as much smarts in hiring as the current fearless leader. Google “Raymond Harding” as a for instance. Eeeech.

    Cool. I signed a petition awhile back pushing for this investigation. I don’t know if such things have much effect, but for whatever reason it’s happening, I’m glad. I’m heartily sick of mythology trumping reality.
