Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

How stupid are these people?

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

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

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

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

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

People are weird.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You cannot shame the shameless.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Cole went rogue tonight. There may or may not have been a lady involved. It’s after 3 a.m. and his status is unknown.

Dunh dunh dunnnnnnnh.

Here are a couple shots from an on-air segment I did for HuffPostLive with Zach Carter and Jason Linkins.

*** Update ***

John here.

My liver hurts, my atm card is smoking, I have blisters on my feet the size of Chris Christie’s ass, and I am dreading tomorrow morning.

Also too, all unauthorized photographs of fat boy will become Rick Rolls. I will tame this woman, and I will use the force of the commentariat to do it.

    As he so eloquently explained in the update.

    Do your worst and shame him, commentariat. I’m taking the photo down from my blog because he asked nicely.

    @ABL: “BWAHAHAHAHAHA. “COLE, FTW.”

    For those who weren’t quick enough he-who-shall-not-be-photographed changed ABL’s posting of a photo of hwsnbp to a rickroll.

    However the photo still exists at ABL’s site, and it is in the BJ RSS feed, which is what made me grasp the switcheroo.

    You have a twitter account and a hashtag for this hilarious, omnishambles, slapdash Roadtrip. Use it!

    Also, CoughCross-posted at ABLCCough!

    If ever there was a time for that, it’s now.

    I’m not exactly sure how RSS feeds work. My listing for BJ & ABLC says the new entries appeared at 3:23 and 3:32 and I still have the photo in both. I guess when I ask for the listing that is when the content is transfered and it doesn’t change after, even if the site changes.

    I’m really enjoying The Angry & Cranky Chronicles. Y’all should do a cross-country tour. I’d chip in for the gas money.

    Pics or it didn’t happen. Of the lucky lady who got to experience the rogue JG of course. Or, if that’s not possible, more ABL will do.

    As long as the blisters aren’t on your ass John. It only sounds like your ass is chapped, you’ll survive.

    @bemused: It’s Jim Fcuking VanDerHei from Politico. Ugh.
    @Pseudonym: Maybe it’s that chick he was supposed to hook up with yesterday. From Raw Story??? I think???

    Mika’s bringing up Dumbya not being in Tampa. Scarbo’s being weasly – “Dumbya doesn’t like politics.” Yeah, uh-huh. I am sure it doesn’t have anything to do with Dumbya leaving office with the lowest approval rating of a modern president.Seriously, that’s all Scarbo has? Scarbo is just so jealous of WJC and Gore, it’s embarrassing.

    John Goodman could play his father…..Philip Seymour Hoffman – it would be his biggest acting challenge yet

    @mai naem:

    Ugh is right. They don’t like Clinton bringing up inconvenient facts from his era and successfully connecting them to the present but saying Clinton’s speech is so 1999 is just drawing more attention to those same inconvenient facts.

    Bill E Pilgrim

    @bemused: Yes they had a whole narrative going about how Clinton was really a “fiscal conservative” and Barack Obama is a socialist and spendthrift thus Clinton was going to have to walk a tightrope and blah blah blah, and Clinton came out and told them that they were all completely full of it. In so many words.

    So, new narrative time.

    We were 350 dollars short of the 1100 dollars we needed to open a field office ( we only have 18k voters, 60/40 R/D so we don’t rate an OFA field office).
    Anyway, we got 500 from a single local donor yesterday afternoon, I think on the strength of Michelle Obama’s speech, although I wasn’t at the law office when he dropped the check off so can’t be sure.
    He is a Michelle fan, though.

    @Bill E Pilgrim:

    They’re stuck with trying to play defense, iow, desperately throwing crap and hoping something sticks.

    Obama and campaign have to be pretty pleased with Big Dawg’s performance. I know I am. It was great to hear him shred the lies one by one. The Republicans have no equivalent, not even close, to a Bill Clinton figure.

    dmsilev

    @Bill E Pilgrim: The thing that gets me about that is how predictable it was. The GOP spent weeks, months maybe, building up Clinton as the good Democrat as opposed to that evil Obama guy, and it wouldn’t take much of a strategist to realize how easy it would be for Clinton to cut the legs out from under that position. Which he, of course, did.

    Doesn’t say much for the strategic sense of the Romney folks. Which should be added to the long long list of reasons why Romney shouldn’t be President.

    @kay:

    Congrats Kay! I hope you folks can reverse that 60/40 R/D to 60/40 D/R.

    Probably a lot to hope for but that’s what hope is all about. :)

    Cole needs better songwriters if he’s going to make it in show business. And can we sue ABL for false advertising? Lots of pics, little or no anger. Is it a black thing?

  40. 40.

    Bill E Pilgrim

    @dmsilev: I had exactly your thoughts about that. How perceptive do you have to be to realize that Clinton could, and would, destroy your Republican fantasy comparisons in one speech?

    On the other hand, watching CNN this morning (all I have) they had Stephanie Cutter on and some Republican shill asked her “One thing that Clinton did do that Obama doesn’t is talk about the deficit, so..”

    Right, Barack Obama has never talked about the deficit. And of course no one called her on it except Cutter who said of course he has, at which point the conservative married to John King interrupted her to say “Yes but what about my right-wing colleague’s question?”

    Click.

    Reality doesn’t penetrate, is my point. At all. You can hold it right in front of them and you get “Yes, but what about the thing you’re holding right in front of me, where’s that?”

    @Odie Hugh Manatee:

    I’m sorry I didn’t get to talk to him (although I’ll call him) because he’s sort of a closeted Democrat, but he loves to talk politics. He would periodically send me emails during the 2008 primary asking me to explain the delegate count rules.
    We had this big battle over where to put the office. There was a faction who wanted it on the “historic square”, but that’s where the courthouse is, I’m there all the time, and there’s not much traffic, honestly. The storefronts on the square are beautiful, but it’s just not a high-traffic area.
    I want it in a storefront vacancy in a strip mall right next to the busiest “in and out mart” on the main east-west street because that’s where people will see us. I think I’ll eventually prevail and we’ll get it rented by the 15th.

    @bemused:

    The small bits of Politico I saw on C-SPAN’s coverage last night looked like Right Wing hacks in training. I don’t know who these people but I don’t like them (apologies if any of their team was fair or made sense – didn’t stick it out).

    Whatever inspired him, at least he was inspired to help get an office going and that’s what is important. Still, it would be good to talk to him and keep a good connection for the future.

    Good luck on your endeavor and cheers to the great asset you will be helping to provide!

    Cole, don’t be an asshole. Everyone here is excited about your trip. Everyone here is hungry for information and posts. Deliver some fucking goods. Don’t be an asshole.

    ETA: Don’t give a fuck if you got laid. We need more pics of you and ABL and Heather (if she approves) hobnobbing with other bloggers, journalists, doing shit on the convention floor, etc. And as far as Heather’s approval, she agreed to join this hot mess of a roadtrip and I think approval is implied.

    Good luck with that, big guy. You’re more likely to get Kathy Mattea elected to the Senate from West Virginia.

    Wait, if there was a woman involved and he has blisters on his feet Cole either spent the whole night chasing the poor woman around Charlotte or he was “doing it” wrong. Just sayin…..
