Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

No one could have predicted…

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

This blog will pay for itself.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Everybody saw this coming.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Bark louder, little dog.

    “Great American” is code for “a guy who’s received a blow job from Sean Hannity” right? Not sure what “Patriot” stands for, unless we’re talking about killing brown people.

    Since he’s got the numbers up there, polling the Top 3 contenders plus a drop out and 911, I couldn’t help but think about this:

    The Louisiana State GOP changed the rules at the eleventh hour to allow other candidates to file more delegates, even though there were plenty of delegates to compose full slates in each congressional district. At the time of the original January 10 deadline, Ron Paul had the largest number of delegates pledged to him. The party then changed the rules to give other candidates until January 12 to file more delegates.

    In addition, due to mistakes by the Louisiana GOP, hundreds of voters were forced to file provisional ballots, including nearly 500 that could change the outcome of the election. According to the LA GOP, caucus locations relied on a voter list from November 1, 2007 or perhaps earlier despite the fact that under the caucus rules, voters need only have registered Republican before November 30, 2007.

    There were even instances at the caucuses where state-certified Ron Paul delegates appearing on the ballot were forced to file a provisional ballot despite the fact they were pre-approved as delegates.

    If Ron Paul were to win Louisiana, he’d pick up some 30-odd delegates, which would put him squarely in the running with the Big Three Republicans.

    The Grand Panjandrum

    Rumsfeld:

    1. No plan for the Occupation. None.
    2. Treated General Eric Shinseki with utter contempt after the General testified before Congress that the invasion force should be at least 400,000 in order to occupy the country.
    3. (Paraphrase) You don’t go to war with the army you want, you go to war with the army you have.

    So lets see, Rumsfeld? Fuck Rumsfeld. I sure other commenters will add to my little list of “complaints.” I suggest Hugh go watch this Frontline report called Rumsfeld’s War. Most of what is in it is now common knowledge but at the time (2004) it was certainly an eye-opener.

    Great! War criminals can be patriots too, eh?

    Ah, Louisiana — home of David Duke, Ron Paul, and other Republican embodiments of the Southern Strategy.

    I’ve always wondered what it felt like to wake up after the wild, fun night look at who — or what — is lying next to you in the bed, and wonder how he, she — or it — got there. I gather that’s supposed to be a common experience in New Orleans, and I guess the Republicans just couldn’t stand not knowing.

    Bush shitcanned Rumfilled. Ergo, Bush is a small minded person. Finally, Spewitt wanders within spitting distance of the truth.

    He makes my brain hurt.

    That’s because it’s so small! Ha ha! Oh snap! Hewitt wins! Rumsfeld wins! Great American Patriots win!

    “Only small-minded people think Rumsfeld is other than a great American and patriot”

    For some people, it’s not enough to say, “I believe X;” they have to add, “And if you disagree with me you’re an idiot.” Jonah “Why don’t people take me seriously?” Goldberg also suffers from this kind of intellectual inferiority complex.

    Based on hewitt’s horseshit, hewitt is small minded. hewitt says “Only small-minded people think Rumsfeld is other than a great American and patriot”. You’ve just proved yourself wrong, Hughy.

    Classic logical fallacy — Hughy Lupus and the News is small-minded and loathsome, but that is irrelevant to whether those of us who don’t share his expansive appreciation of the innumerate…I mean innumerable…gifts of Donald Rumsfeld.

    For the readers of this blog,

    Step away from the media, read a detailed history of the man. I’m sure he never meant any harm to this country. He did however have to deal with media and politics like no other before him.

    If you were to just strike the media out of the equation, we would be successfully rebuilding Iraq as I write. You seem to eat, digest and confirm what you hear, not what you take the time to research.

    Then where are my ponies, JWW? Where. Are. My. Ponies? Show me your pony research, and maybe we’ll talk.

    Hey, JWW, don’t take this wrong, but I think you need therapy to deal with some cognitive issues. If it’s possible, please, put my tax dollars to good use, go to the nearest VA, and let them help you.

    The Grand Panjandrum is right. Rumsfeld’s arrogance and contempt for anyone’s thought but his own seriously damaged this country. If one were a rabid, reactionary, and paranoid, one might think his actions were part of some vast Islamic conspiracy to weaken the US and make it ripe for takeover.

    That will most likely get me booted, but it was worth it. I don’t like to talk with idiots anyway!

    You seem eager to strike at anyone who happens to disagree with you. You appear that all current or former Bush administration members were lifelong failures and destined for failure.

    You may want too believe that Rumsfeld was the keeper of the key, he was only the landlord of a specific aspect of the US, as is President Bush. They only hold the power they were eleceted or selected to wield.

    Think about this! If they fail, we as a nation fail with them. We voted President Bush into office because we had that choice. He in turn made selections within his cabinet and voted upon by the senate to confirm. Where does the blame really fall?

    By all accounts, I see this administration far superior to the Clinton administration and that of George Bush Sr. But I also see that all the whining pissants have a place in the prime time news. Those pissants from Hollywood to Paris seem to control our emotions and our forward progress. They have the money to control the press and the fortitude to see us destroyed.

    You speak of pitable, the likes of you is what causes the better half of this nations problems. You are kind of like herpes, no cure, just a pause between outbreaks. Your words amount to the bile cast from the ill.

    Oh deminondion,

    Your ego far surpasses any knowledge or talent you think may posess. “easy to taunt, easy to trick”

    Hey monkey man,

    I didn’t see any facts in the opening comment nor have I seen any since. You have only made my point for me. You guys feed on second hand fodder, not historical fact.

    Now go kiss your mirror goodnite and wish yourself happy dreams.

    JWW: Why the hate? We all love America. We may disagree on what the best course of action is for our great nation, sometimes profoundly, but we all want what’s best for the country – after all, we all live here.

    We voted President Bush into office because we had that choice.

    You voted for him, shotgun, not me. Actually, about half a million more Americans voted for Gore, so unless you’re one of the Felonious Five Supremes, leave the “we” out of it.

    On a related note, what are we doing in this handbasket and where are we going?

    So who wants to show the picture of Saddam shaking hands with Rummy? Or perhaps the docs showing VDH selling arms to the Iran we have been at war with for thirty years?

    Have any of you guys actually spoen with Chummy Rummy? I was truly surpriised with our brief encounter – I expected the guy to seem like he was living in some sort of Sea Monkey world where he was the smartest sea monkey in the bowl and that he had no cencern of ‘lesser people’ (i.e. any one whose last name was not Rumsfeld). This was, in fact the case, but I was surpried at how LOUDLY a man can profess his own stupidity.

    If this is anyone’s ideal patraiot and American, I’d wager Rosanne Barr would be his ideal of health, hygine, and female form.
