Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

This fight is for everything.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Let there be snark.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

Come on, man.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Who is Obsessed?

by | 22 Comments

This post is in: ,

You all claim I am obsessed with Obama (who, after a week of letting his surrogates smear the Clintons as racist for decidedly non-racist remarks has now seized back his title of uniter and transcender-in-chief), but if you really want to see obsession, check out Hugh. Check out the past day or so at Hugh’s:

John McCain: Open Borders And Closed Rivers
From The Hotline Blogometer: Conservatives Reject McCain
Michigan Crowd Boos John McCain Over His Immigration Proposals
John McCain and the GOP

And on and on and on and on. We are approaching John Cole/Cindy Sheehan levels here.

    Two different kinds of obsession, John. That is one of those things that conservatives do better than liberals–grab hold of a fabricated issue and hold on with pit-bull ferocity until either they or the issue is dead.

    Yes, but Republican divisiveness is delightful, and their candidates are really different from each other. None of them have a unity pony. Whereas our candidates are good, and I don’t like to see the divisiveness, especially on what certainly looks like cooked-up media-circus type nonissues. I’m more of a keep your eye on the brass ring kind of girl myself.

    Wonder what Hewitt thinks of the Great Orange Satan’s push to get Michigan dems to vote for Mitt…

    The difference as I see it is that Hewitt is agenda driven, where as John is merely expressionn irritation. i.e. Hewitt’s a professional, John’s a dilettante.

    John, have you tried a therapeutic look at Slate’s slide show “The Baby Primary”? Shows most of the candidates holding a particular baby. I believe Obama is the only one actually looking at the baby, well maybe Hillary is too, but Obama actually looks like he likes the baby. That should settle it.

    I don’t like kids.

    You know how everyone thought Bob Dole was mean and the person most likely to honestly utter the phrase ‘get off my grass?’ That is me.

    Well, unfortunately for you, no one is throwing the baby…

    You’ll like ’em when you have ’em.

    Didn’t Bob Dole bite the head off one?

    Or if you’re looking for obession with Hillary, check out Andrew Sullivan.

    Everyone’s got to like someone…or dislike as the case may be.

    Take a step back here. I’m sure its not that bad.

    “I don’t like kids.”

    Aw.

    Remember the 1960’s Batman movie with the dehydrate-the-UN plot?

    There’s a 3-part video on YouTube of ‘Little Batman’, a fairly high-production-value remake starring a bunch of 5-year olds.

    Check it out. You’ll probably be amused, at least, if it doesn’t make you like kids.

    Um, John…you’re being a bit unfair in re: the Clinton/Obama thing. Clinton surrogate Andrew Cuomo and “shuck and jive” (sorry, as a black man, I found that one offensive), Bob Johnson’s “something in the neighborhood” comment? There was some foul stuff being spewed on both sides. Just because you don’t like Obama’s packaging doesn’t mean you can completely look the other way when he’s being slimed.

    You would send us over there? John…what did we ever do to you to deserve that kind of punishment?

    As far as kids, I like ’em if they’re reasonably well-behaved. But I have no patience for smart mouths. My friend’s 10-year old girl already answers her mom with the eye-rolling and the “whatEVER”, and all I can think is that I really would be hard pressed to keep my temper if spoken to that way.

    And the eco-wackos whine that any border lights will endanger certian species and a border fence mights disrupt wildlife migrations BUT FENCES SURE DONT STOP BIRDS THEY JUST FLY RIGHT OVER THOSE FENCES

    Reminds me of when my Nephew was explaining a “D” on his
    Report Card to his Father (my brother, of course)…”Dad, that “D” in Biology is really a “C”.” His father’s reply? “Son, that’s Stupic”.
