Well, as much as I hate to admit it, the rumor appears to be true: there is a limit to Lyin’ Paulie’s douchebagginess. According to this report from Politico by Rachel Bade and Kyle Cheney, that limit is being reached by Paulie in response to efforts by unlimited congressional mouth-frothers Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim…

Rowdy, partisan Democrats prevent Republicans from cutting out an FBI agent’s heart
Those Republicans and Democrats! Those Democrats and Republicans! They fight like cats and dogs! It makes you want to throw up your hands in disgust, amirite? That’s the way such reliable purveyors of “fake news” as the New York Times (“Hearing for FBI Agent Devolves Into Debacle”) and the Washington Post (“Shouting, bickering, and other…
“Thoughtful” conservatives getting awfully tired of thinking. But not all of them.
I remember reading as a boy that one can think for three days on the energy contained in a peanut. On the right, it seems, peanuts are getting scarce. Over at the New York Times, David Brooks is finding solace in Donald Trump’s lizard brain, which, it appears, is kicking ass all over the world:…
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along.
Ramesh Ponnuru, perhaps to fulfill a quota of some sort, has dashed off what I like to think of as a semi, hemi, demi never Trumper, “Three Clichés About Trump That Have to Die”,1 soundly thumping those lazy, self-righteous liberals who say all sorts of mean things about the Donald which just are not true!…
Honest John Boehner, A “Good Republican”—that is to say, a coward and a fraud
John Boehner, speaker of the House of Representatives from 2009 to 2015, engaged in one of the prerogatives of those who have relinquished power—speaking the truth. Among other things, Boehner claimed that all that Republican talk about repealing and replacing ObamaCare is just talk: “They’ll fix Obamacare, and I shouldn’t have called it repeal and…
Republican thought processes: Tragedy in France = New reason to hate Obama!
And a new reason to hate Muslims, as Republican politicos, including all the “presidential” ones—struggle to outdo one another in their hatred for Syrian refugees—except for, you know, the Christian ones—as well as our president. If they keep it up, they’re going to make Hillary Clinton look classy. UPDATE Dunno about Hillary, but Bernie Sanders…
Phony Evenhandedness, Case No. 377,421,903
Wash Post columnist Robert J. Samuelson sez: “Hey, those Republicans and those Democrats! They both need to grow up, amirite or amirite?” Well, sure, Bob, but when it comes to your topic du jour, the national debt ceiling, it’s the Republicans, and only the Republicans, who need to grow up. Because it’s the Republicans, and…
Chaos in the House? Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along
How can you tell when conservatives (or anyone else, really) are really frightened? Whey they pretend that something that is a very big deal is not a very big deal. Ramesh Ponnuru illustrates this point beautifully when he “explains” that there are two things to keep in mind now that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy…
“He kept us safe.” Except for the 2,700 on 9/11, and the 5,000 poor shmucks in Iraq
Thus Jeb Bush, still the odds-makers favorite to win the Republican nomination. What fools these mortals be!
The Republican Party earned Donald Trump
Starting with the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, the Republican Party became the Irresponsible Party. Republicans in and out of government laid siege to the Clinton presidency, pursuing him with an endless series of shamelessly partisan investigations, law suits, and court decisions, finally impeaching him for lying about cheating on his wife, after having…
