Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Today’s installment in Hermann Cain’s Excellent Adventure (via TPM):

<div align=”center”><iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/jhQVAviVbg4″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>

The ad comes from a pro-Cain super PAC, so I guess we can’t credit the man himself with this bit of entertainment.  But whoever is responsible, this Obot couldn’t be happier at this kind of contribution to our electoral process.

Keep ’em coming, friends!

    I’ll bet (in keeping with the normal GOP MO) they never got permission to use “Eye of the Tiger” for that video. Why does the GOP constantly steal other people’s intellectual property?

    I’ll see if I cab email Jim Peterik and let him know about this.

    It’s amazing that the same people who put out the creepy smoking sad man ad also came up with this.

    It’s quite a kick-ass campaign ad, really.

    Well, according to today’s Jonah Goldberg, following Mitt’s nomination, the secular leftist hate machine will be behind any and all republican on republican discord. Clever bastards those secular leftists.

    That’s a great political ad. Wish the ads that the Democrats and some of our 3rd party groups came up with were half as stiletto/go for the weak spot.

    Sweep the leg!

    Though all of Cain’s current ads are pretty weird/fun/puzzling the one that got me was the cowboy with the yellow flowers. That’s one strange piece of work!

    My head is just reeling with all the bizarre stuff coming from the republican candidates this week. Even freak Pat Robertson thinks they’ve gone too far into loony land.

    Did John just put up a post starting out with a Krugman piece which then disappeared or am I having hallucinations?

    @Jim C.: Wouldn’t matter. Any Democrat using an ad of this type would be condemned by the MSM. First rule is IOKIYAR, next rule is DAHTDSS (Democrats are held to a different set of standards)

    Nothing warms the cockles of my heart more than seeing Republicans shiv other Republicans…

    Can we keep Cain in the race as long as possible so we can keep being shock-and-awed by his campaign commercials? Though it’s gonna take some doing to top the yellow flowers one.

    There was some weird Alaska Democrat (former Senator?) from the 2008 primaries who ran this ad where he just dropped a rock in some pond, watched the ripples, turned to the camera, smiled, then walked away.

    Or did I hallucinate that?

    ETA: Mike Gravel!

    That was my first thought, too. The joke used to be that Communism was the society where, what was yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine. But, hey, things are totally different now.

    @Tom Levenson: Peterik just got done with a years long lawyer dance and now owns every note of every song he ever wrote from his days w/ “The Ides of March” through “Survivor”, and he guards them like a mother lion guards her cubs.

    cowboy with the yellow flowers:

    Yes it is a bit weird. Man oh man do they need an editor!

    However, the slow smile from Cain is very, very nice. Very nice. Companionable. Good old boy. Sexy, even.

    Keep the video of the smile and throw the rest of it away.

    @bemused: Couldn’t believe that! When Pat Robertson thinks you are a bunch of kooks, well that just says it all right there…
