Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yes we did.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Shocking, but not surprising

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

I don’t care how fun he is after a few whiskies. fuck that guy.

Let there be snark.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The revolution will be supervised.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Han shot first.

I really should read my own blog.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

It was down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

There will be lawyers.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Reality always wins in the end.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

There’s some extremely good trouble headed their way.

I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.

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

Via TPM, Mitt Romney goes medieval on Rick Perry:

<div align=”center”><iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/3HyCDCBOZR4″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

Reagan’s commandment is toast, for which I say praise the FSM, hallelujah and amen!

I know it gets very serious soon, but I gotta thank Mitt for giving us this moment to sit back, put our feet up, and enjoy the show.

    I’d like to point out how weird and cool it is to see the Teamsters use the phrase “Merry Pranksters” as a compliment. The Teamsters!

    It’s like OWS went Superman II and traveled back in time to fix 1968.

    Hmm.. Romney has decided to let Hermie hang himself. He obviously doesn’t see him as a threat. I did buy popcorn from the tiger cub next door so I’m prepared for the onslaught though.

    What’s even more entertaining is the fact that this is a man (Rick Perry) who has no conscience about executing innocent people — his return fire on Romney is going to be something AWESOME to witness. Hopefully a whole new interpretation of “going biblical on his ass.”

    Wonder if it will be separate ads for Mitt-flop, illegals, and the Mormon Card or all balled up in one juicy spot?

    Reagan’s commandment about not criticizing fellow republicans was the height of hypocrisy considering he primaried a sitting Republican president.

    I only watched a snippet of the debate last night. I saw when AC asked him to renounce Robert Jeffress.

    His response was a word salad that would have made Sarah Palin proud.

    I didn’t really get the whole “Perry did better this time” vibe folks were talking about.

    yea, the deliberate ‘unconverged rgb projection tv’ filter on top of the ‘oooh lets zoom in on a tube TV’ filter was a bit much.

    @David Koch:

    http://www.floridapoliticalpress.com/2011/07/06/ronald-reagan%E2%80%99s-eleventh-commandment/

    The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase Ronald Reagan used during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California. The phrase was actually created by California Republican Chairman Gaylord Parkinson hoping to prevent a split between liberal and conservative Republicans. The Commandment reads:


    “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”

    To understand what Reagan meant by the “commandment” we need to look at the 1976 Republican primary against incumbent Gerald Ford. Ronald Reagan was deeply critical of Ford’s policies in Vietnam and giving up the Panama Canal. Reagan criticized the actions of Ford but refused to lobby personal attacks on Ford’s character.


    “Speaking ill of fellow Republicans” does not mean we cannot question policy decisions.

    So we know which candidate Fox news has chosen, because otherwise they’d have sent a bunch of cease and desist letters about their intellectual property. The vast majority of these clips are from Fox. Only a couple of them show that corpulent vomitous mass of boy-fucker Sonofericsonoferick.

    I’m saving a pretzel for the gas jet when the response comes out.

    But why is Romney attacking Perry when Cain is ahead in several polls? I think that the final ticket will be Romney/Bush. FL is crucial and Romney is already touting a voucher program for Medicare so he needs some help to win that state.

    @JPL:

    I suspect he believes that, despite the Koch Bucks, Cain will flame out soon, and spectacularly, while Perry’s handlers and backers will keep pushing him back out on the dancefloor. Mittens will probably wait a couple weeks to see what happens with Cainmentum. The 999 thing is a steaming heap of dogsh*t and it’s about all he’s got, so when it craters it will take Cain with it.

    Mittens is a career candidate. Hasn’t made the leap to career pol because he loses most of the time.

    Even his 1 win was kind of fluke, since he won with less than 50%.

    Oh Noes! The vapors!

    The hostility between Mittens and Goodhair is so alarming that the GOP’s uber-pollster Frank Luntz has now decried such behavior as “horrific” and predicted that it could cost the party in its efforts to win the White House in 2012.

    Why even renowned peace-maker Newt Gingrich has admonished his confreres, warning that “the bickering does not help the Republican party..it hurts the Republican party.”

    However, Tiffany & Co.’s favorite politician has identified the true culprit in last night’s Klown Karnival, CNN moderator Anderson Cooper, insisting that “left-wing journalists” should not be allowed to dictate the questions.

    Should be interesting to see what Perry does with his archive of Mitt’s Hits. There’s an awful lot of fun stuff from Romney the RINO’s Massachusetts liberal phase just waiting to be thrown right back at him.

    I’ve been laughing at “Perry really did throw up all over himself in the debate” all day.

    Rachel’s right — BLR really is the best thing to come out of this campaign so far.

    @Lee: Yup, just saw the update at TPM.

    Methinks the Romney campaign realized how unbelievably stupid (and almost certainly unnecessary) this was.

    May be too late, though…if I were Perry or a Perry-ista, I’d neither forget nor forgive.

    I don’t think Perry’s going to be the nominee, but he ain’t broke yet and he may now be truly dedicated to putting his assets up ex Gov. Romney’s fundament.

    If you’re gonna use a comicbook movie reference, get it right, please. You should have said Superman The Movie instead of Superman II
