Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

Infrastructure week. at last.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

This really is a full service blog.

    Ummm, maybe young Luke ought to work on his grammar skills at bit? Even on Twitter?

    Though “Latino Gay Contraception” does make a hell of funny tag….

    I saw this elsewhere, and I thought (projected? ;-) ) “Man, he must have been _really_ drunk”

    Latino gay contraception is all fine and good, but why no mention of Atheist Muslim Latino gay contraception?

    @JPL:

    Your party needs another Bush to run for office.

    “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”

    I don’t get it. Other than tasteless classless gibberish.

    What did Jeb Bush say? Was that tasteless classless gibberish too?

    @Gypsy howell: Oh, it is a thing. It is the thing that wingnut mothers like the scare their offspring with, e.g. “If you don’t obey your father, the gay Mexican abortionist will come to get you and send you to a madrassa. And also FREEDOM.”

    Politicos having a major sad over the election. The presidents gonna fock the liberal wing because he doesn’t need them anymore. I live in gumdropland and didn’t get my ambrosia lollypop.

    If you are too stupid to be able to tell the difference between a profile in courage and a curfew on profilage, then you may be Luke Russert.

    @gogol’s wife: I don’t think explanation is possible. But as far as pure gag reflex, how about the banner story in today’s Wisconsin State Journal newspaper speculating on a Ryan run for presidency in 2016?

    Those individual words all make sense, but when taken together, I have no fucking clue what he’s talking about.

    I think the way to read it is that “Latino”, “contraception” and “gay” started out as three elements in a comma-separated list of things Republicans should stop fighting, then the commas had to come out to meet the character limit.

    That the first Republican to try this approach will be hanged from a lamppost with a mouthful of condoms after the next Tea Party meeting is left as an exercise.

    @Baud:

    “Latino gay contraception ok”.

    Sounds like something from an alternate-universe bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap.

    The deserting coward and his “brain”, Rove, tried to woo latinos into the GOP.

    Undercut by the racist scum that are the Teabaggers, who hate them some brown and black people something fierce. Exhibit #1: Joe Arpaio.

    Guys, come on. It’s not that obscure.

    He expresses it very badly (drunk, maybe?), but he’s pointing out what we’ve been saying for a while; for the GOP to continue to be relevant, it has to reach out to gays and latinos and quit fighting culture wars it lost a generation ago.

    Junior may be a nepotism hire and way out of his league most days, but even he can see that the GOP doesn’t have much of a future with the old (literally) demographic. The country is moving on; time the GOP started moving with it.

    ploeg

    Word salad or not, Luke is in touch with the Republican lizard brain. The demographics dictate that Republicans can’t be so bigoted anymore, therefore Jeb is your 2016 frontrunner.

    Separate from the laughable way he expressed this is the laughable idea itself, that any GOP leaders at all will deal with this situation either honestly or courageously. Personally, I’m looking for Eric Cantor to launch himself on a huge ego/power trip when the new congress begins its session and for the GOP to go downhill from there while John Boehner sobs about how meeeeeeen Obama is. I’m willing to admit — and I’m even hoping — that I could be wrong, but I’ll believe the GOP will sober up when I see it for myself.

    Bill in Section 147

    @Baud: Leadership. I think that is the answer your looking for.

    Wolverines! Also too.

    Maybe if junior had some actual liberals or even Democrats on his show he would hear some ideas. John McCain hasn’t changed his mind so why have him on to re-affirm what he said in 2000.

    But I think he is just realizing that the party of hate and the anti-Obamas are not demographically on the right track.
    Don’t worry by December he will be back to the same format wondering why Obama and the Democrats are not giving up more to please the Republicans and bring about bi-partisanship.

    Bill in Section 147

    @Lurking Canadian: I don’t think what you envision will work because the lynching is difficult when you roll on the Rascal Scooter. Also too, the tea party does not use/have/carry condoms so that is not going to happen. God gives out babies so no need to worry about the issue.

    It will be interesting to see how fear of the other can be manipulated to re-emerge as a winning strategy. Romney showed that just plain lies work for getting an additional 21% of the vote over the solid 27% Real America. So start lying sooner and get better at it will likely be the first plan. If that fails then the tide may turn to “maybe we can get our own brown spokes-model.” Of course Michael Steele didn’t exactly work out as planned.

    Bush/Rubio is the 2016 plan if 2014 nudges the House blue.

    The absolutely most amazing thing that I heard in last night’s election coverage was that the last time the GOP won the presidency without a Bush or Nixon on the ticket was, wait for it… 1928 !

    Such an ignorant little twit. Deals solely in stereotypes; never done a minute of reporting. JEB pandered to conservative Cuban-Americans while gov of Fla, but I doubt his shtick will play so well with some other Latino groups who don’t care about Castro. Li’l Luke doesn’t even know that not all Latinos are alike. JEB also was extremely anti-choice. As to gays, when we had a horrible incident of a little girl who died in foster care after getting lost in the system, JEB was caught snickering over the fact that the foster mom was gay.

    I also had to read the comments to figure out what he meant. Commas are important sometimes. Even the Oxford variety. Thanks all of you being better Twitterese speakers than I am.

    I think he’s advocating eugenics — forced contraception to prevent the birth of Latino gays.

    Tim C

    I *think* what he’s trying to say is that the GOP has a major demographic issue on its hands and is really really really doomed unless they start bending on one or more socal issues. I’m not sure he’s right, let’s say they become more tolerant/accepting of homosexuality, that can work on a local level for them, but how many votes do they loose from their fundamentalist members? Probably more than they gain. Also too, twittering isn’t a very good way to communicate.

    Perhaps Lunkhead Luke is speaking in code. Maybe it means he’s not going to have gay sex with a Latino without using a condom.

    The sycophant/ignoramus media, typified by Luke Russert and Chuck Todd, are the second biggest looser in yesterday’s election.

    And, for a repeat endzone dance, NOM will just be a Rovian grift machine henceforth. Ha-ha.
