Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Infrastructure week. at last.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

    That’s hysterical. “If your love for America were like an ice cream, what ice cream would it be?”

    And I’m with one of the other commenters there. Where it was live, wouldn’t it have been lovely if Obama had just come out and said, “You know, I really think the American people would rather hear about healthcare and the war in Iraq, rather than lapel pins and Reverend Wright. So can we just grow the hell up and focus on the issues instead of this idiocy?”

    TPM is reporting that now Clinton is now bashing Obama for bashing this debate abomination.

    I’m seriously really, really beginning to hate this Clinton beeyotch.

    We were both asked some pretty tough questions. That’s part of what happens in a debate and a campaign. And I know he spent all day yesterday complaining about the hard questions he was asked.

    This is why people are getting pissed off at Hillary. The utter, shameless dishonesty.

    Obama was not complaining about “tough” questions or “hard” questions. He was pointing out that the questions were inane, not tough. He was pointing out that the questions had absolutely NOTHING to do with any of the very real issues that are affecting your country.

    If only the questions HAD been tough. Instead, they were utterly retarded and pointless.

    WaPo “Journalism” defined: in paragraph 23 of 25 we discover:

    The debate also touched on Iraq, Iran, the Middle East, taxes, the economy, guns and affirmative action.

    Also, the McCardle has turned out another embarrassment, speculating that Obama is too skinny to be presidential material. Her commenters remind her that not only is he thin, but that he stays fit by playing basketball, which is, you know, urban, and that’s just not something the American people are ready for. And this gets published by the fucking Atlantic.

    Can someone tell me where we’re going and what we’re doing in this handbasket?

    A modest proposal:

    How about the national media cover my local high school’s class president election, and the local high school paper kids get to cover the Presidential election. The national election coverage will improve, and the national journalists will get to cover all the gossip and inane popularity factors they enjoy so much. Sounds like win-win to me.

    Obama missed one when he was asked about the flag lapel pin?
    He should have looked at the two questioners and asked why they weren’t wearing one.

    Obama missed one when he was asked about the flag lapel pin?
    He should have looked at the two questioners and asked why they weren’t wearing one. said “why yes, as a matter of fact I would like to say something about the nation’s transportation infrastructure, why it’s a matter of vital national interest, and what I intend to do to make sure that bridges get repaired before they collapse and kill people.”

    I just do not understand why any Democratic politician in this day and age dignifies that kind of crap with a response. The network media in this country shows what they think of people who aren’t in the “political class” when they announce that we really care about flag pins and not health care. We’re apparently so dumb that we don’t think New Orleans being in ruins and bridges falling down and 4000 killed after the end of Major Combat Operations and civilian wiretapping and civil rights protesters on no-fly lists and rising median temperatures and listeria in the water supply and rising gas prices and Wall Street run amok and the fact that practices we’ve condemned as war-crimes are now official government policy is nearly as important as whether our political candidates wear their patriotism on their sleeves. Sleeves now being the same as lapels, and easy, shallow words and gestures now being the same as actual patriotism.

    Where’s Madame fucking Dufarge when you need her? There’s a very long scarf somewhere that needs Gibson and Stephanopoulis’ names knitted into it.
