Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

People are weird.

When I was faster i was always behind.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

    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…..

    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.
