Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Come on, man.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

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

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

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

    Since when did Krugman’s blog become the snarkiest thing on the internets? I mean, "All Your Bailout Are Belong To Me" and now brilliant M.P. take-offs?

    I guess that the New Great Depression (GDII?) has really gotten to him. We’ll have to really worry about the economy when he starts rickrolling us.

    Someone needs to tell McCain to shut the fuck up, before someone gets killed.

    Audience member: Will you assure us that as president you will take immediate action to investigate, prosecute and name the names of the people actually responsible?

    McCain: I will. And it is already a matter of record that members, Democrat members of Congress fought against reform and it is a matter of record and hearings that they said everything was fine. Senator Obama a year ago said that these kinds of subprime loans are, quote, fine with him. And the fact is that the same people that are now claiming credit for this rescue are the same ones that were willing co-conspirators in causing this problem that it is. And you know their names. And you will know more of their names. Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd are two of them.

    @4tehlulz:

    The ‘thugs are already rewriting the cause of this financial crisis: "mandated" loans to people who were bad credit risks, defaults on mortgage loans by welfare queens who eviscerated the global economy because of entitlements. We need people in front of the media now to explain in clear terms that the problem isn’t home loans to the poor, the problem is a combination of speculation in the housing markets, predatory lending and a quasi-Ponzi scheme of totally unregulated mortgage derivatives that led to ridiculously overleveraged financial markets. Allowing the ‘thugs their narrative will make reform and re-regulation all that much more difficult. Already we’re hearing things like: "The problem isn’t free market capitalism, the problem is that the Democrats perverted the free market."

    The Dems need to break out the comfy chair and the Sternly Worded Letter(tm).
