Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

White supremacy is terrorism.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Come on, man.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

    Unfortunately, Hillary is probably going to be McCain’s running mate. And if you don’t think that is going to happen, ask yourself: What wouldn’t she do to get a shot at 2012 if Obama wins the nomination? Top that off with:

    1. McCain/Clinton would win 2008.
    2. He’s gonna die in office so she wins
    3. She is already setting up the meme that “it is the serious, responsible thing to do.”
    4. They already share the same ideas and slogans.
    5. The ultimate triangulation.

    Mark my words…..

    “Sure there are casualties along the way. And also there’s a real sense of accomplishment.”

    Awesome.

    Accept second fiddle to Obama.

    Sorry, it was too easy ;)

    Frank,
    That gives her a shot at 2016. She will be three years younger than McCain is now (69). And you assume that Obama would offer it. He’s not going to. Way easier than your “too easy”, you can’t accept what will never be offered, ’cause Obama isn’t going to have Bill anywhere near the Whitehouse (unless maybe he needs ome uranium from Kazakistan).

    It’s a double super secret coded message for the ladies of the Amazon caucus to sharpen their swords for the coming shrinking ball crusade. Tin foil hat please.

    I’m sorry, but Arsenic, and anyone else who is boarding the “Clinton will switch parties to be McCain’s VP” is officially a retard. You know who the only people who hate Hillary Clinton more than far-left activists are? Right-wingers. For fuck’s sake, if McCain put her on the Republican ticket, he’d finish behind Nader. He’d finish behind write-ins for Mitt Fucking Romney. Step away from the computer and get a little goddamn air.

    I’m sure we’ll hear today ALL about how Olbermann using her own words (and the words of her own campaign staff) against her is proof of his “bias”.

    Damned biased facts.
