@ JBinMO

i just want to be able to hit anyone who says we are a christian nation with facts,

-- JBinMO

Anyone who believes the United States is a Christian nation is unlikely to be dissuaded by mere facts. Have you tried a burning bush, or parting the Red Sea? It seems President Bush, with his "same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th," has actual proof of resurrection of the dead!

I just want to be able to hit anyone who says we are a Christian nation with a Chrysler.

@ PensacolaGroundZero242

Iran loosely fits that description doesn't it?.

-- shooter242

You loosely fit the description of a sentient being, but you certainly don't take it to heart!

@ PensacolaGroundZero242

Don't even try to argue with Shitter -- did you know he was once in the eye of a hurricane?

Or maybe it was the heart of an artichoke.

@ NoBallzBabyf*cker

Which hostile foreign power, exactly, do you represent? You certainly can't be an American, what with your palpable hostility to our Constitution, our national security and our very way of life. Are you, perhaps, the Good Will Ambassador from Dickcheneystan?

Another Broadway musical moment...

Hard to believe I'm the only one singing this paraphrase of the famous tango from My Fair Lady:

Ready, everyone? And a-one, and a-two...

McCain's campaign is plainly down the drain!

[I think he's blown it! By George, he's blown it!]

McCain's campaign is plainly down the drain!

It's even funnier when you imagine Rudy GiuliAndrews performing the vocal.

@ Elephantiasis

... when Special Ops gets a handle on where bin Laden or Al Zawahiri might be, and there's a Hellfire-armed Predator overhead ...

... then Lindsay Lohan will be elected Pope.

No, just kidding, what will really happen is Dick Cheney will have to remodel because his guesthouse will be simply decimated.

The wrong Russian!

Bobo Brooks references Tolstoy, but it was Dostoevsky who wrote the book on Li'l Butch: The Idiot.

I will never be convinced that Brooks (go to http://www.johnrozum.com/images/egghead-jr.jpg to view his most flattering portrait) believes a word he says or writes; he's too smart to be that stupid. He's either working for hire or perpetrating one of the greatest performance-art pranks in the history of op-ed.

@ RealName

How comforting to know you're always ready with an opinion about others' opinions about someone else's opinion. How convenient that yours is always the only one that counts.

You remind me of that old saying, "He's so twisted when he dies they won't have to dig his grave, just screw him into the ground."

@ saintlucid

How about wagering some cash on that proposition? Say $10,000?

-- saintlucid

I guess it never occurred to you that if YellowDog is right, who will be left to collect on the bet?

Original article: The Politico sewer

C'est what?!?!?

He's advocated for rolling back the Bush tax cuts - does he voluntarily pay the taxes he would pay if those tax cuts were rolled back? If not, he's a hypocrite, benefiting from policies he denounces.

-- cestmoi123

You think you can just throw random amounts of money at the IRS and compel them to take it? Obviously, you have never paid taxes; you must be an affluent Republican patriot!

More shit from Shitter

I think it's more frightening to comtemplate someone with no moral compass at all, doing the pragmatic or politic thing of the moment. That's how eugenics, McCarthyism, or the killing fields of Cambodia came to be.

-- shooter242

That is also, as you pretend to have forgotten, how the court-appointed Bush Administration came to be. And probably, come to think of it, how you came to be.

Rummy, is that you?

It has been explained over and over again, that steady, although uneven, progress was being made through the latter part of 2004 and and through 2005 and into the early part of 2006. -- noballzbabyf*cker, 7/19/07

We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat. -- Donald Rumsfeld, 3/30/03

Separated at birth, perhaps? Or merely graduates of the same school of circumlocution?

Goldberg Variation

I think it's way past time we throw some crappy little columnists up against the wall.

"Truth, justice and the American way."

Everything Shitter242 knows, he learned from watching reruns of The Adventures of Superman.

A perfect illustration of non sequitir.

@ Mr. Timberman

Also, do you know a good burka boutique?

-- William Timberman

Have you tried Bath, Bath & Burka? Not only will they beat any competitor's price, they'll stone him to death!

@ sysprog

I think you've hit on something.

It's not the 9/11 Generation. It's the Moral Waiver Generation.

Monday, July 23, 2007 06:12 PM

It was so much easier to spell "Anonymoose"

Remember 9/11/2001?

-- nabalzbbfr

I do, from within smelling distance of the WTC. Not an Iraqi in the bunch, onstage or behind the scenes. No connection to Saddam Hussein whatsoever. Didn't you get the memo?

Or are you simply, like the treasonous cabal you continue to defend, stark raving mad?

Monday, July 23, 2007 07:30 PM

He just all broken up about Tammy Faye

Sinclair Lewis described the flag in one hand and the bible in the other, but it was nabalzbbfr's own idea to add the clown nose and wax lips.

Original article: John Yoo -- then and now

@bucky1

call you out as unable to act on a candidate until you get the memo

-- bucky1

It's increasingly clear you got the memo -- straight from your Republican handlers.

Original article: John Yoo -- then and now

Very cute, Bucky!

Of the two Democrats you claim to support for President, one is admirable but unelectable and the other isn't running. Thanks for playing, but the Republicans are calling you home now.

A Wandering Jew?

How peripatetic is our Senator Lieberman!

First he claimed to be representing Connecticut. After a while it seemed he was actually representing Israel. Now it's excruciatingly clear that in fact, he represents Armageddon.

Thursday, July 26, 2007 09:38 AM

Imposter!

After watching Blumenthal's video, I no longer believe there is any such person as John Hagee.

Look closely: that man claiming to be Hagee is obviously Newt Gingrich after he swallowed the corpse of Jerry Falwell.
