Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Not all heroes wear capes.

This really is a full service blog.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

We still have time to mess this up!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

    Shaheen is still going to curb stomp this clown but it’s going to drain money from other races, that’s the real point of him jumping in.

    Recently, he said:

    Love Massachusetts, miss it very much, but you know, we’re in a changing phase of our lives.

    Most of the responses I’ve heard are unprintable.

    He’s a carpet bagger and Shaheen was a popular governor before she became a popular senator. I hope his running drives more democrats to the polls in a mid term year so we don’t turn the state house back over to the party of crazy.

    He is dumb as a bag of rocks but he will get a ton of money for this race so we will all have to scramble to deal with him. The amount of banking money that flooded his campaign in 2010 was just astounding. They got what they paid for though as he did manage to water down Dodd Frank quite a bit once elected.

    lol

    @MomSense:

    He wouldn’t have gotten the chance to water it down if a certain beloved Senator hadn’t decided to play purity progressive pony.

    I hitch hiked from Illinois to New Hampshire and hiked in the White above the Kangamangus Highway in the summer of 71. Does that give me deep ties?

    So if this Scott Brown guy isn’t willing to assert that he’s a better candidate for the US Senate than the Democrat, what is his reason for running?

    I know that the linked article says the following:

    Brown spent the first year and a half of his life living in New Hampshire before his family moved to Massachusetts. […] Brown became a New Hampshire registered voter 13 weeks ago, according to the Rye, N.H., town clerk. He and his wife moved to their 1,700-square foot seacoast New Hampshire vacation home in late December.

    This is all true. What it does not say is that Brown and his wife have owned (and used) that seacoast vacation home (in Rye) for more than two decades. (It also does not tell you how many other properties they own.)

    @debit:

    He doesn’t need debate skills, people. He has hot pants. And a pick up truck.

    I have yet to speak to someone with a better reason to vote for him. Ah, I remember the good-ole-days of Brown’s first run. When Obama’s national security problem was wanting to provide oversight and stop the worst abuses. I wonder if Brown has flipped the script yet.

    Can’t these people find something useful to do? So tired of watching overprivileged and unelectable goofs publicly play out their midlife crises by grabbing at what they see as the next toy — a Senate seat.

    @Cervantes

    All the worse, if after that much time he cannot bring himself to speak the state’s name (or cannot remember it).

    Shall refrain from doing more than giddily metnioning that the sandy stretches of Rye waterfront were created from the publicly financed construction and maintenance of groins.

    @MomSense: But it cuts both ways. If he attracts tons of money to the campaign and still loses thats money that didn’t go into other campaigns on their side, as well as ours. I actually don’t have a problem with Shaheen having to fight for this seat–I think it energizes the voters and we can’t afford to take any seats for granted, anyway.

    As a Mass resident who has experienced Senator Scott Brown, I can tell that “Do I have the best credentials? Whatever” is about all he has got. Insect level intellect.

    Hal

    So basically, Scott Brown was elected in Massachusetts based on looks and a pickup truck. I really have to laugh anytime anyone legitimately thinks he has a chance. One 2 year stint in the Senate only to be beaten by a political newbie who has since far eclipsed Brown.

    Not exactly. His main opponent, Martha Coakley, was an awful candidate.

    @Cervantes

    Yes, yes, she was.

    Currently it seems she’s on track for becoming governor, so hope she has learned something lasting from the Senate race debacle.

  41. 41.

    Cervantes

    @NotMax: Of the five candidates on the Democratic side, I know four pretty well. Coakley is not my favorite. She’s doing well in opinion polls but she’s not popular among party activists. The primary is in September.

    Davis X. Machina

    @Cervantes: Brown had a ton of free media — in a sports-mad town having the then-#1 morning sports-talk show give over entire days to the Senate race. The bro vote was significant. Two of my brothers from exurban Boston — far interior Cape Ann, and the swamps of Plymouth-Carver-Kingston — both union members, both life-long Democrat, voted for Brown…

    Villago Delenda Est

    @Cervantes: By that standard, the Bush Crime family should be able to run for office in Maine like they’re as Down East as the next guy, and all those Villagers who own vacation homes on Martha’s Vinyard and Nantucket are authentic Massholes.

    I have very little faith in anything, but I do believe in Democrats’ talent for screwing things up. I also believe that the corporate press/media is devoted to promoting Republicans who claim to be different than the standard right-wing, hypocritical Christian, bigot. I will not rest until the papers on morning after the election state that Scott Brown lost.

    The only Roland he met didn’t have hair, and was about a head short of being tall.
