A month or two ago I was about to write a post with the awkward title of “It’s starting to look a lot like Rubio—Not!” because my original post appeared to be overtaken by events, as we say in the biz. Sen. Rubio was struggling, while Jeb Bush was sitting on a mountain of cash….

Conclusive Proof that ObamaCare is Working
The Republicans have formed a “Select Committee” (of Select Assholes) to “investigate” Benghazi. Best evidence that said committee will be a complete and total farce: Charles Krauthammer thinks so too! Yes, Charles Krauthammer! Yes, that Charles Krauthammer!
Ukraine—It’s like catnip for neocons!
I’m not going to bother linking to any of the multitudinous stories ruminating about the meaning of Putin’s latest folly. I’m sure that William Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, et al. are fulminating at length over the Crimean Invasion. Putin is laughing at us! He’s eating our lunch! He is playing chess with tanks and we are…
George Will, pissy, prissy, and probably prescient
George Will—or “George F. Will,” as they like to call him at the Gabbing Geezer—when he isn’t sniffing and harrumphing over the “unraveling” of the Obama administration, sometimes gets it right. A case in point is a recent column on the administration’s recent agreement with Iran regarding its nuclear program. After directing a variety of…
Saudi Arabia and Israel: A marriage made in heaven?
When will the lion lie down with the lamb? Well, not any time soon. When will Israel lie down with Saudi Arabia? Well, right about now, judging from “warnings” emerging from neo-con windbags gods like Charles “Krautman” Krauthammer, who says that the failure of President Obama to intervene in Syria, plus his obvious desire to…
Anne Applebaum, oddly ubiquitous
Anne Applebaum is a distinguished journalist and scholar who has written about the horrors of the Soviet Gulag and the oppressive Communist rule in Eastern Europe following World War II. She is married to Radosław Sikorski, currently Poland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. So why is she writing about Iran? My guess is, synergy. In a…
Robert Gates and Leon Panetta: They’ll none of them be missed
Last week, that music hall pair, Robert M. Gates and Leon E. Panetta, aka Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside, brought their good cop/bad cop routine to Dallas, Texas to answer questions about President Obama’s proposed incredibly small bombing of Syria. Gates, aka “The Thoughtful One,” said it was a bad idea while Panetta, aka “The…
Back to Square One in Syria? Has It Come To This?
We can’t be that lucky. We can’t work out a face-saving, quasi-significant, or even pseudo-significant, deal with bad boys Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin that will actually “solve” the chemical weapons “crisis” in Syria, can we? Life isn’t that nice. Well, probably not, but if Congress can delay having to make an unpleasant decision for…
Republicans to Tea Party: Remember what we said about immigration? Yeah, it was all bullshit.
The Republican Party Establishment, which has been kissing Tea Party ass for the past four years, is up on its hind legs and shouting again. All the “experts,” like Charles Krauthammer and Bill Kristol, agree: we need to learn to speak Spanish! Florida Senator Mario Rubio, whose name even sounds Spanish, is the self-anointed leader…
Suck on it, Hillbillies
Am I a bad winner? Suck on it. Suck on it, Peggy Noonan. Suck on it, George Will, for predicting a Romney landslide. Suck on it, political “expert” Michael Barone, for doing the same. Suck on it, Charles Krauthammer. Suck on it, William Kristol. Suck on it, Weekly Standard. Suck on it, Bibi Netanyahu. We…
