Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.
Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.
Their freedom requires your slavery.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius
Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!
I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.
Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.
Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.
The worst democrat is better than the best republican.
Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
Black Jesus loves a paper trail.
Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.
Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?
Damn right I heard that as a threat.
A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.
They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Steve King was the wanker whining about having to come in a full 5 days a week to work, because then he wouldn’t be able to spend quality time with his family.
He’s a consistent fountain of petty complaints and stupid comments.

Jeez ,Tim. Everyone knows that MLK Jr. beat up Zombie Jefferson Davis. George Washington beat up Robo-Hitler and Mega-Tojo.
History iz important stuff, you know.

RIGHT NOW – at this moment, Dennis Kucinich’s presser is being carried LIVE on all three news channels
atlliberal
Could someone please ask him, specifically which freedom this bill takes away? I don’t understand why professional journalists don’t ever challenge them on their over the top rhetoric.

@Mike Kay: This may be the most attention he’ll ever receive.
Well played Dennis, well played.
Mike Kay
TIMBER!!
Kucinich falls.

Kucinich declares his criticisms and doubts, not the bill he wanted to support, however, after careful discussions with Obama, Pelosi, wife & friends, he’s voting yes.
Mike Kay
@atlliberal: Which freedoms? Graft and Corruption.
Mike Kay
WOW!
Dennis is now coming out with a strong defense of Obama and the bill, and slapping down the culture of republican fear
jibeaux
Liberty.
Freedom…..from health care.
At some point, we just HAVE to stop demanding that we get screwed.

Ruh-oh, the Firebagger embolism is about to burst. And with John Boehner declaring that HCR will pass over his dead body I’d say this day is starting to shape up pretty darn nicely. But, I can’t get my hopes up yet. We are talking about Democrats here.

@Zifnab:
That was not King that was Kingston (sp?) from GA.
El Cid
@The Grand Panjandrum:
I think that Boehner has been undead for quite a while, and the orange paint is just the cheapest fleshtone paint they can afford on an hourly basis.
The Grand Panjandrum
@El Cid: With all that big tobacco money he was handing out you’d think they could afford a little higher quality paint job, eh? But you know, he does kind of have that faded tobacco stain look ..

Nobody’s jamming DC. Most of the nation’s couch potatoes and weekend warriors are going cuckoo for some college hoops.
You too can play along and help distract the tea baggers, join the Balloon Juice NCAA tourney pool. You’ll need the group ID# in the group label below.
Don’t forget the “seed bonuses” when you make your picks.

Having criticized Kucinich harshly in the past as a useless wanker who’d be happy to let the country burn as long as he got to hold on to his shiny little toy unicorn of purity:
I have to admit that I was wrong, and I apologize.

Plus, he killed his Sensei in a duel and he never said why.

I only wish the article Sully excerpted had been honest enough to say “Congressman Steve King (R-IA), to a tiny crowd of tea-partiers.”
Felonious Wench
@Llelldorin:
Me too. Dennis, I salute you, sir.
@The Grand Panjandrum: Win/win all around. Can he take Cantor too?
Gregory
@SGEW:
And Ronald Reagan beat up Megalon and Gigan, of course.

When I think of Steve King I think of horror.

@Felonious Wench:
OT: I rather like your nym. Any interesting stories behind it?

A commenter over at Obsidian Wings said King’s remarks pretty much constituted sedition. It would be great if someone brought this up in Congress. (Hello, Alan Grayson?)
