Bernie Sanders is getting some flak for getting all “Hey! Man talking, Lady!” on Hillary’s ass during last Sunday’s debate, but, really, it wasn’t a sexist thing. It was just a Bernie thing. Bernie talks to everybody like that, because Bernie lives in Bernieland, where he’s been living his entire life, where he’s right about…
Marco Rubio, Super Loser
Let’s all have a chuckle at the expense of Republican Establishment fair-haired boy Marco Rubio, who can’t understand why the old lies ain’t workin’: “If you had told me a year ago that the front-runner at this stage in the Republican campaign would be a supporter of Planned Parenthood, who says he doesn’t stand with…
Robert Kagan, hoist on Fareed Zakaria’s bare bodkin
At the Washington Post, Fareed Zakaria notes the long-time silence of “principled conservatives” regarding decades of Republican thuggery in the name of power. Zakaria seems to take particular pleasure in skewering Robert Kagan, whom I skewered earlier for his tardy recognition of Republican sins. Sure, Trump is terrible, says Fareed, but how and why is…

Donald Trump: “I have been on top of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Oh, yeah, and one really fat governor. Some northeastern state. I don’t remember which one. It had a coastline, I’m pretty sure of that.”
Justice Scalia, very big, very fat liar REVISITED
Want to read words of praise for the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin “Nino” Scalia by a renowned liberal legal scholar? Harvard’s Lawrence Lessig, Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership, has just the article for you, praising both Nino’s integrity and his “extraordinary life-loving laugh.” Want to read an ill-tempered diatribe by a…
Pseudo New Yorker
Legal humor here. “’Cause daddy’s motherfuckin’ hungry, that’s why.” “Digitize this and have it on my desk by Monday.” “Break out the good mustard, girlfriend, because the white boys are having a party!” “It spoke to my inner Jew.” “Hold all my calls. For, like, forever.” “I’m redefining the hell out…
Chris Christie sez: “Yo, you think my belly is big? Check out my ego!”
Yes, if Chris Christie ever had a soul, he just sold it to Donald Trump. It’s a demonstration of just how rotten the Republican Party is when perhaps the most prestigious Republican governor in the country endorses a presidential candidate who has promised to torture innocent women and children. And for what? So he won’t…
Robert Kagan, struggling with the math
Bipartisan neocon Robert Kagan, who has served in the administrations of both Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, has a prescient rap on the Donald Trump phenomenon up at the Washington Post, denying that Donald hijacked the GOP. Instead, says Bob, Donald is “the party’s creation, its Frankenstein monster, brought to life by the party, fed…
Pseudo New Yorker
Legal humor here. “You lower it slowly, slowly, until they expire in an agony of anticipation.” “This one is for venial sins.” “At this point I can’t figure out whether to market it as a form of punishment or a parlor game.” “And, for the Inquisition, we can just slip on the old…
