Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.
“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)
At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.
Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.
With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.
Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?
Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.
There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.
Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.
You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.
Stay strong, because they are weak.
Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?
A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.
Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?
No one could have predicted…
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
“They all knew.”
Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.
This fight is for everything.

Ahh, that’s not fair. Joe has always been nice to me.

What a cock of shit. I read it three times and don’t see any typo.
Punchy
So, the typo is that they used “Democratic” instead of “Democrat”, right?
CapMidnight
Well, Lieberman is a leader in pubic service.

What’s an abortion rights supporter? Do they support the right to have abortions or something?
BJ long time, first time
Typos fixed.

Finally, AP gets one right. I am sure Nedra Prickler will get McBush some more Donuts with extra sprinkles on it to make up for it.
rawshark
I see it! Presidential prick!
wasabi gasp
That prick is the long shot coming up the rear.

I am looking forward to the Lieberman/Graham diplomatic shuttle job as Shucks and Oys.

Y’know, learning that Lieberman is the prick of Vice President Cheney explains a lot about the last eight years…
Singularity
You know, the “r” key is nowhere near either the “i” key or the “p” key. I wonder how this “typo” happened? This strikes me more as someone being funny and forgetting to correct their text before publishing. How it got past the editor, however, is another question. Typically, they’re supposed to do more than run a spellcheck against the text.
Jake
Fixed.
Chris Johnson
Oh, man, that is so nice :)
jake
The AP has editors? I thought they just used a program to make sure there wasn’t too much substance to each story.
Heshe
They sure got that right.
jeff
I don’t see any typo.
Brachiator
Fixed.

God bless the AP and their little factcident. Now get them to accidentally call Dick Cheney a shambling, cretinous, amoral homunculus.

ZOMG! ! ZOMG! ! ZOMG! ! ZOMG! ! ZOMG! ! ZOMG! ! ZOMG! !
Stop! You’re killing me here. I had to close my office door after I fell out of my chair laughing.

Is it a typo if it is true?

Oh crap. I read it twice on Atrios and didn’t see the “r” till I got here. I need new glasses. Will McLame buy me some?
Dulcie
LMAO Delia – I had to go over to Atrios’ place to see the “r”!
wobbly
Schmuck’s the better word for Joe.
cmorenc
THE (OR AT LEAST ONE) TYPO IS [pay attention to the comma after Ridge]:
In other words, syntactically it reads as if it says the alternative choices include:
1) Tom Ridge
2) an unnamed abortion rights supporter
3) Joe Lieberman
…I wonder who that other so-far anonymous Republican abortion-rights supporter is whom McCain is considering?
cyntax
Whoa. That’s all tree-in-the-forest but for editing.
I think my deep thought capacitor has been blown for the day (granted I’m a bit of a light weight).
bobbo
I beat you all! I saw it on Atrios, then on TPM, then here, before I finally saw the prick. But it was worth the trouble. Hilarious.
rachel
No, the right word is “putz”.
Loneaok
No, the right word is “when the hell will the Dems cut that monstrous fool out of their coalition and leave him in the wilderness to die?”
David Hunt
Second: the answer to your question is the moment that they don’t need that monstrous tool to maintain a majority so they run committee chairs, etc.
But first: No, the correct word is actually “putz.” Both “putz” and “Schmuck” are Yiddish words for “prick” (very appropriate given the thread), but schmuck can be properly used to talk about a guy in a non-negative manner. You can be a poor schmuck stuck standing in the rain without an umbrella, but a putz is always a f***ing putz.
rachel
That can’t be because a putz is… unable to rise to the occasion.
David Hunt
Thanx, rachel. I knew that both of those words literally meant a male member and something about their common usage in referring to people, but I wasn’t aware of…that technical distinction. I’ll admit that I was at something of a loss for words for giving a good example of a putz (as a character reference) without referring to bodyparts or precesses: asshole, jerk, shithead, etc.

Actually, the R key *is* right next to the L key if you’re using a Dvorak keyboard like I am. Google it to see.
Still funny anyway.
