Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

The words do not have to be perfect.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The First Cut is the Deepest

Via Nick in the comments, Ben Smith tells us that Carl Paladino’s win means that Cuomo had a “bad day” and that the Cuomo juggernaut is looking as weak as it ever has:

The results in New York tonight cut at Cuomo in two ways, though he wasn’t on the ballot. The first and most obvious is an energized conservative base, which chose a real outsider — Buffalo developer Carl Paladino — as a more plausible, if extremely longshot, vessel for a “mad as hell” anti-Establishment campaign against the “status Cuomo” than would have been the Establishment Republican, a former bank lobbyist.

Back in reality, here’s Buffalopundit who, unlike Ben Smith, bothered to look at the election returns:

I think Paladino will be a formidable challenger and give Cuomo some bad headaches over the next six weeks, but the general election is a very different animal than the Republican primary. But it was clear yesterday that Paladino was going to massacre Lazio in WNY, and massacre him he did – winning 93% – 7% in Erie County. While Paladino’s stunning win came about thanks to about 440,000 Republicans voting, the dull AG race on the Democratic side saw almost 600,000 Democrats vote statewide. Not a lot of enthused, energized Democrats turning out for what became a three-way Schneiderman/Rice/Coffey race.

In other words, the most motivated, angry, tea party guy pulled in 30% fewer votes than the two top Democratic AG candidates in a 5-person race. Cuomo remains the overwhelming frontrunner.

The AG race was the only real one on the Democratic ballot, and it was a total snore.  At 5:30 yesterday, I was the 22nd Democrat to vote in my district, which has at least a couple hundred Democrats.   Even a uninterested, unmotivated base will let Cuomo beat Carl Paladino and his desire to put the poor in remodeled prisons where they can be taught “personal hygiene”.

    This is why I thought all of the crowing over the generic ballot is so weird. It’s one thing to tell a pollster that you’d rather vote for a Republican over a Democrat. It’s another thing entirely to walk into that booth and deliberately pull the lever for someone as batshit insane as Christine O’Donnell.

    Yeah, isn’t it great! I once voted in a local general election, so no national elections to get people out to vote. The candidate I voted for won by nine votes! Big bonus, he beat out a long time, corrupt politician. When I saw the results I was pretty excited. I felt like my vote really counted. Democracy in action.

If he doesn’t nip this in the bud soon, all the money will follow the crazy, and there’ll be none left for the casual evil.

    Ben Smith must be reading the comments on this blog. I had already hand-wrung about the Paladino “Mad As Hell” appeal last night.

    Of course, I was drunk last night. Ben Smith has no excuse.

    @DoubleDutchPolitics: Followed that link you gave and heard this from Bill Maher:

    “The teabaggers, the one thing they hate is when you call them racists. The other thing they hate is black people.”

    Beautimous. Just beautimous.
