Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

    Yay, open thread!
    About 15 minutes ago I heard this loud noise, a car had run into the light rail station in the middle of Tasman Drive here in Sunnyvale, about…100 or so feet from where I live. It was lying across the NB light rail tracks, and had run into concrete benches/electrical equipment. It looks like the drive is okay, but it obviously has everyone living here rubbernecking. Don’t take the NB light rail to Mountain View tonight if you are in Santa Clara County.

    From the left:
    1. ???
    2. ???
    3. Newt
    4. Bachmann
    5. ???
    6. Paul?
    7. Cain?

    One of those must be Pawlenty. Is Mitt in there? Or is it only already-declared candidates?

    @cathyx: From right- Caine, Paul, Romney, Bachmann, Gingrich, and I can’t place the others. Pawlentey, Huckabee?

    It’s a pretty good caricature job.

    It’s kind of creepy that Bambi is saying, “Please don’t shoot me” given that wingnuts refer to Obama as “Obambi.”

    This raise the question of why Rudolf would be included.

    Sarah Palin running would be like Christmas? I dunno. Why in the hell is William Shakespeare there?

    Everything old is new again — they laid the same joke on the Dem field in ’88, I think.

    Gary Hart was Snow White, then you had Dukakis, Gephardt, Bruce Babbitt, Biden, Paul Simon, Gore, and Jackson.

    @Violet:

    Re Pawlenty – it’s pretty bad when you’re so indistinct in every way that you can’t be recognizably characterized by a professional cartoonist. Maybe Ohman should try making him a talking dishrag, like the feather for Quayle in Doonesbury.

    It seemed like only yesterday when then candidate Obama was being mocked and ridiculed for being a celebrity.

    Along comes Sarah of the two books, Fox News commentatin’ gigs, Discovery reality show, special guest on Dancin’ With the Stars and now the greatest film actor since John Galt.

    It’s fucking funny.

    @GregB:

    It’s fucking funny.

    I think you misspelled pathetic. Though in fairness, the Obama as celebrity story was pretty ineffective. It didn’t seem to convince anyone who wasn’t leaning hard in McCain’s direction already.

    Objection – Sarah Palin is “Snow White” to the same extent that I am a black lesbian Australian.

    I really thought her fifteen minutes of fame had dwindled down… very disappointed to see her rearing her ugly head again. I honestly thought that even the right-wing was largely done with her, that she was regarded as a liability and an embarrassment. My perception was that she was appearing in fewer news stories and the discussion forums after such stories were considerably shorter than they had been, that even the discussion forum peanut gallery had said pretty much all it had to say. Yet here she is again. In the words of Bill the Cat: Pffpht!

    It’s a measure of the state of the GOP race that it’s hard to identify who the dwarves are. I got Newt (fat-face), Bachmannia (the crazy-eyed witch in the middle), Mittens (super-jaw), and Raising Cain (the mustache, but the others are too obscure.
