Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Smell the santorum

Over at Kathryn Jean’s House o’ Bug Crazy, the santorum is not only particularly frothy – it has sparkles in it.

My favorite moment on Hannity last night came during an interview with Sarah Palin: “If voters start shifting gears and deciding they want ideological consistency, then they’re going to start paying attention to say, Rick Santorum.”

I put the former senator and governor together in a column this week, as it happens. …

By the way: When Sean pressed her on whether or not she would be endorsing someone in the primaries, when it might matter to someone, she dismissed her influence at this point, calling herself a mere “pundit” whose endorsement wouldn’t amount to “a hill of beans.”

Jesus. Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum meeting at K-Lo’s apartment, to sup her bitter tea and nibble at her cupcakes of regret, is the kind of cosmic dumbness event that flattens small cities and makes the sunsets red for months.

God is not kind enough that he would grant me, before I conga from this vale of tears, the sight of Santorum on the convention stage clasping the hand of his Vice Presidential pick, Two Time Sarah.

A girl can dream.

    Smell the Santorum?

    Thank you, the retching of my morning coffee and oatmeal back into my mouth has now left me ready for the day.

    Stone-cold classic. Loves me some Sarah Proud and Tall.

    No, but I think it’s the only show she’ll go on. Sarah finds the hard-hitting question of O’Reilly and Cyborg Lady (I don’t feel like looking up how to spell her name) far too taxing.

    Sarah Palin is 100% pure Grift-o-matic. Even Rick the Sanctimonious won’t put up with that.

    SP&T, great as usual.

    Hannity interviewing Palin – could it get any stupider?

    Yes, it can get stupider. Over the years I have given up being amazed at the level of stupid in some people. There must be a vast supply of stupid in the fourth dimension that people like Palin can somehow tap into.

    ” she dismissed her influence at this point, calling herself a mere “pundit” whose endorsement wouldn’t amount to “a hill of beans.””

    Plato once commented on the politicians who visited the slums during their campaign and noted;

    “Your vanity shows forth through every hole in your garment”

    They dressed down for the poor folk for simpatico. The faux humility
    is best expressed by the avaricious crone in question.

    Einstein is rumored to have said that “two things are infinite: the Universe, and Dumbf*. And I’m not sure about the Universe.”

    I wonder if she pronounced “pundit” as “pundint” again. I just want to tell her, “No, honey, it’s not ‘pundint’, it’s ‘pundon’t‘”.

    I swear, it’s enough to make ya skirm.

    @Hillary Rettig:

    Edit: there should be a link in my post; it’s probably momentarily stuck in moderating limbo…

    In any case, the image is based on the biblical parable of the ten virgins (Matt 25:1-13). Taking a look at this passage will clarify the image.

    @Hillary Rettig:

    1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
    2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
    3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
    4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
    5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
    6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
    7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
    8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
    9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
    10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
    11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
    12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
    Matthew 25:1-12

    Which, frankly, seems a bit rude on his part.

    As for the shawl, I have no idea.

    If by intimation she was referring to Romney’s lack of “ideological consistency” then she wasn’t exactly wrong.

    @Sarah Proud and Tall:

    The shawl may very well signify vanity on behalf of the virgin in question. The foolish virgins are (since they’re foolish and therefore obviously not good God-fearing women) bound to be immodest, vain, and all too eager to lose their virginity.

    @Hillary Rettig:

    It certainly does, doesn’t it? I thought my eyes were just playing tricks on me but no, that’s her bottom, more or less.

    More, actually. Was this the ideal of the early renaissance woman? Slim, delicate arms, a tiny waistline, dainty neck and no breasts to speak of … but thighs that could crack nuts. Seriously, that woman is FloJo from the hips down.

    So, Sarah thinks that brokered convention really would do wonders for her market value.

    Grifting to the last dead cat bounce. (Sorry for that violent image on a pet friendly blog.)

    Oh yes, that is the Northern Renaissance ideal. Go to Google Images and check out the van Eyck brothers, Hans Memling, Albrecht Durer, Lucas Cranach, and Hugo Van der Goes, to name a few.
