SHOCKED is right. By 11 right now!

Boy, that Hillary Clinton. I’d like to run her state department, ifyaknowwhatimean. Eh? Eh?

@Spaghetti Lee: Well I kept mentioning that I needed to apologize to Obama. Why won’t he take my calls..

Did Obama make another bad Holder joke? “How many Holders does it take to put the screws to the big banks?”
Answer, of course; none.

Anybody seen this meme that’s going around – “Bergoglio Makes Mincemeat Of Journalist?” Very, very, very probably fake (as someone in the comments section points out, it gets the doctrine of infallibility epically wrong) argument purportedly between the new Pope and an American left wing journalist, but damn if it’s not making the rounds among my “Catholic” Republican ex-brethren.
(Fucking YECH…)

Yeah, beautiful day. But here in Jersey we still can’t get over 50 degrees. Well, maybe tomorrow

Come on. Give the Prez a break. The man just appreciates a dame with great gams hitting on all eight.

John, are you by chance talking about the promising young CA AG whose career that Obama just completely destroyed by called her attractive?
Please please let DiFi decide not to run again, and let Harris run for the Senate. I would enjoy seeing Ted Cruz attempting to belittle Harris’s knowledge about the Youu-Nai-Taid States Kon-stee-tu-shaan.

See, Obama’s just as bad as Todd Akin. Both Sides Do It.

I blame Obama.
Somebody has to, right?

Janet Reno was the hottest Attorney General. Everyone knows that.

And when your hero Greenwald writes his hit piece on Monday you will be the first to post about it, spittle on screen, spunk on the ceiling…saying “see, this is why we should have voted for Hillary….just like Hitler, Chained CPI” or whatever nonsense that pea brain of yours manages to come up with.

I am told that Obama went to a Madrassa when he was a child, then why isn’t he following strict madrassa rules about women? Also, too, why are his women not wearing hijab?

Cole is trolling. Cole knows very well that the definitive and unchallengeably true theory of the Obama gaffe on Harris was announced on his own blog earlier today. And Cole also knows that our miserably failed corporate media experiment cannot cite Balloon-Juice as a source for stories that they will not print.
Yes, the BJ BidenGaffeverursachung Theorie stands alone. Basic physics will blow away in the wind before anyone can challenge it.

@Anya: You have got this all wrong. He went to Madras not to Madrassa. Madras also happens to be where Kamala Harris’s mom is from which ofcourse means that Kamala Harris was born in Madras. See, we have a Manchurian candidate as the CA AG. Gotta get Orly Titz on this story right away.
Morzer
@mai naem:
Madras is now known as Chennai, IIRC.
Anya
@mai naem: Who can keep track of these foreign names. Well, then we cannot support Kamala Harris. As democrats we must stop her, otherwise we will lose what’s left of the white vote. Also, what kind of a name is Kamala? What happened to normal names like Pamela, Ann or Barbara?

@efgoldman:
Bobby, Lindsay, Rience….

@efgoldman:
I always assumed that a Rience was what you got after a lather, but I admit to not being aware of all internet traditions.

@Chris: Hilarious. Three members of my family have attended the College of the Holy Cross (Jesuit, Worcester, MA). An excellent school but not a left wing haven, which is not to say that there haven’t been left-wing Jesuits (e.g. Daniel Berrigan, among others). The “interview” is transparently a fake, not the least because it suddenly appears now and with current topical memes. Still, it’s not a bad satire.

@Chris: What absolute horseshit that alleged ‘interview’ is. Like Bergoglio would talk about ‘low information voters’ and would call out the states, specifically, for euthanasia, which is not legally tolerated there while majority-Catholic countries elsewhere (such as the place where I live) allow for it.
Bergoglio is many things, but a provincial American wingnut is not one of them.

Hello all. I am new to Balloon-Juice as a commenter. I got referred over here from LGM comments. I posted a WH.gov petition asking the Obama administration to use CPI-E to calculate inflation for Social Security. If anybody thinks using CPI-E is a good idea (as policy or politics) please sign the petition and share with anyone you like. http://wh.gov/MC91
