Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

This really is a full service blog.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

The revolution will be supervised.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Such a shame:

Sen. John Ensign has moved out of the C Street house, the Christian home he shared with other elected officials on Capitol Hill that came under scrutiny for its residents’ beliefs and practices and their role in trying to end the Nevada Republican’s affair with a campaign staff member.

The red brick town house emerged this summer as the subject of political intrigue — not only as a pivotal location in Ensign’s affair with Cynthia Hampton, but also that of South Carolina Republican Gov. Mark Sanford, who sought guidance there as he wrestled with his own affair.

Looks like there will be no more wetsuit optional Christian seksitime at the C street brothel for Senator Ensign, which means he will probably be really grumpy at the office tomorrow. Then again, since he apparently is into banging the hired help, maybe this just expands his opportunities.

    Who knows what evil now lurks in the heart of the toilet stalls?

    That’s OK…the C-Street Sexytime Palace still has Bart Stupid, I mean Stupak (D-MI), among it’s residents. So there’s still someone out there fighting the good fight for Moral Righteousness while living in a Den Of Iniquity.

    I’m sure they will all sit around the campfire now hand in hand with baby jeebus for strength, followed by a rousing round of Indian Toe Wrestling.

    yeah. the whole philosophy seems to be that rules are for the ruled and we rule, so lets get bizzay.

    Ensign probably hasn’t ever tried to make seksitime without having the C Street brothel available. He won’t know what to do. Book a hotel room? Bring a hooker home? What’s a pampered, enabled Republican Senator to do once his seksitime love pad is taken away?

    Gawd but I hate John Ensign. Come to think of it, I hate most Rethuglicans. Buncha sleazy, self-serving, hypocritical bastards. They all deserve to rot in hell.

    And now they’re all concerned about deficits and how we can’t afford health care reform? What about green-lighting the fiasco that is the Iraq War to the tune of $1 trillion plus? $1.5 trillion tax cut for the uber-wealthy? Billions of dollars to the drug companies in 2003?

    If they despise the government so much, why don’t they resign their offices and get the heck out of Dodge.

    Screw every last one of them.

    @Violet: They don’t seem to object to boner pills for single radio commentators traveling to the Dominican Republic…I guess Christianists have somewhat malleable views of the things they approve of.

    David Schuster made that point after Tom Tancredo walked off the set during the back and forth with Kos. Perhaps this point is a good one to keep hammering home. If the Republicans despise government so much, why don’t they just quit and go do something else? It certainly changes the discussion.

    Heavens, these creeping pathetics, skulking and groping around the scullery. Can’t we once get a little manly misbehavior with at minimum a viscountess? I’d settle for an atheist in a decent suit and an honest tan.

    No football threads on non-Steelers Sundays? No AFC North love at all?

    Also, lots of guidance is sought at the C Street House, apparently. Guidance. Lots of it.

    Right-Wing Unleashes Racism on Rep Cao
    http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives/2009/11/right-wing-unleashes-racism-on-rep-cao.php

    I will get bored with it, so this is probably the first and last installment. Especially since somebody said Cao was the perfct wishy washy nonentity in a CNN interview (but, more reason to think he would be a good Blue Dog, then).

    I will go see if I can find that interview on youtube.

    As for Ensign, I don’t know what to say. Hope he can keep out of trouble, since he seems helpless. I have compassion, even for GOPers.

    I still have a hard time believing what I have read about his messes, but I guess they are true. I half expected to read that somebody had to pin notes to his lapel, in case he got mixed up.

    Stupak lives in the hot-sheet hotel on C Street? The same Stupak who insisted that the HCR bill be so moral and clean that it won’t deal with the unfortunate consequences of the activities that those legislators are doing in the C Street house? That Stupak?

    Ensign? which is he again? Someone needs to issue player cards with vitals on the back for these guys. There are too many to keep straight.

    OT, but the Cleveland show (the Family Guy spinoff) just did the BEST takedown of those creepy ass purity balls where Christianist dads make their daughters pledge their virginity to them. Long story short, it rips apart the double standard that women who have sex are whores, but dudes can be actual whores without consequence.

    Looking back, maybe it’s not as OT as I thought.

    maybe he and ex-ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips should get together and form their own ‘Christian home’…

    I think she was just a staffer. Or the wife of one.

    General –

    I think you misunderstood. They said she was “on his staff”.

    There’s a difference.

    Yes, whoever said puns are the lowest form of humor didn’t follow politics.

    Please forgive me for correcting you, but that’s not a pun.

    I don’t know if Spider Robinson still does it – I don’t even know if he’s still writing – but there were more than a few in his “Callahan’s” series. One that I can recall has the punchline: “Middle lamb, you’ve had a dizzy Bey”. (Explaining it would take too long.)

    I wish I were smart enough to come up with good puns.

    John, just how is it that you used to be a GOPer? That is something I’ll never understand.
