Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

In my day, never was longer.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

“They all knew.”

Republicans in disarray!

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

So very ready.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

When I was faster i was always behind.

That Will Leave a Mark

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

Allan Colmes, the liberal half of Hannity and Colmes, just made Zack Exley, a smirking, condescending twerp from MoveOn.Org, look like an utter fool and a babbling idiot on national television. I can’t wit for the transcripts. Exley did not have one serious respnse to Colme’s questions, and instead had all sorts of cutesy words and phrases like ‘misunderestimated,’ etc.

In other words, it was like listening to Alec Baldwin without the acting talent.

    Well, if it was that good I expect you to e-mail us (i.e., us right leaning and libertarian leaning bloggers…and anybody else who’d appreciate it). I don’t watch television so I missed it. :)

    Hey. It’s Jane’s law:

    The party in power is smug and arrogant.

    The party out of power is insane.

    Basically Colmes (dead-set against the war, mind you) wanted a serious answer for what Mr. MoveOn wanted to do about Iraq… his answers were contradictory and nonsensical, and yes, mostly bumper sticker, Bush-hating nonsense like “fire Rumsfeld.” Which of course doesn’t begin to actually solve ANYTHING.

    At least you concede that Alec Baldwin has talent.

    Of course, this will just reinforce the kooky liberal theory that Colmes is a lackey and not a real liberal.

    Apparently, having a brain and not buying BS from either side makes one a lackey to Hannity.

    Dan- The problem with all the Hollywood leftists is that by and large, most of them are exceptionally talented.

    Good for Alan! Despite disagreeing with him on nearly everything, I’ve actually come to like the guy.
