Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Second rate reporter says what?

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

This fight is for everything.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

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

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The revolution will be supervised.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

    Anyone catch the video this morning of reporters asking McCain what he hated most about campaigning to be POTUS? He responded that he hated the negativity, particularly Senator Obama’s criticism of Governor Palin.

    No creepy smile, just a fucking creep.

    Negativity, Jake? Watcha talking about?

    I understand the Palin handlers have asked her to cut out that sort of crap because she’s in great danger of flooding her own sty. ;-)

    Personally I think the Onion article of the year should run like the following.

    “John McCain was shot down by North Vietnamese, kept as POW for 5 1/2 years”

    followed by a copy and paste of the relevant part of his wikipedia entry, and segued by a small comment about his reticence to speak about it that has made a vast majority of Americans unaware of the facts presented in the article.

    Speaking of creepy, anyone catch Maher this past week showing a clip of McCain greeting Bristol n Bubba? Maher described it as “attempting to suck out their life force” but it actually looked more bizarre than even that sounds.

    The Onion’s breaking news today: “New McCain Ad Fails To Mention McCain Running For President,” and “Obama Suddenly Panicked After Gazing Too Far Into Future.”

    “And that is why we must all strive to make our own tomorrow together,” Obama said to resounding applause before stopping abruptly, breaking into a cold sweat, and bringing his trembling hands to his blanched face. “Oh, God, no. They’re sentient. Every last one of them is sentient!”

    The Onion always lives up to expectations.

    Side note: I really hope that Lincoln Chafee will have a seat on Obama’s cabinet.

    He called Palin a “cocky wacko”?

    I like it.

    I loved that piece when I read it earlier this week (days blur, My Friends, the damn days blur. I’m with the poster earlier who said it’s all surreal since Gore conceded.)
    I loved the piece because it admits his own people know he has a very creepy and nauseating smile and are trying to circumvent it!

    because she’s in great danger of flooding her own sty. ;-)

    Once I got this, it was the LOL of the day.
    I had to get thru my image of her flooding the sty in her eye with tears and then I thought of that biblical thing about taking the sty out of your own eye before trying to lance the one in your neighbors and then I got PIG STY.
    hahahahahaha.
    I’m sexist.

    I’m with the poster earlier who said it’s all surreal since Gore conceded.

    When Al did his “State of the Union” satire on SNL I had some very, very serious vertigo.

    hahahahahaha.
    I’m sexist.

    Of course you are. Why do you hate women so much? And you’re probably a mooslim, too. [There are a lot of wingers out there saying that the “lipstick on a pig” thing has to do with halal prohibitions on pork. Fo’ realz]

    Jeez, what a suck-ass job. You’d live in fear of being fired if the Old Man let out with one of his “awkward and eerie smirks”.

    I really hope that Lincoln Chafee will have a seat on Obama’s cabinet.

    I have mixed emotions about Chafee. He made a lot of noise about being independent when he was a senator, but he was an enabler of Republican policies.
