As I co-sign off my man Ta-Neshi Coates: WEAK SAUCE, Jay. WEAK, WEAK SAUCE. Please show us the proof of these supposed improprieties and I do know what the “real deal” is with your interpretations, so come at us with some real world reputable sources for your allegations and not the usual suspects you supply us with for a change.

…and pussy coward chickenhawk. Bawk bawk bawk!!!

Not bad, Tom, but I think you missed a few talking points in there. Swing back by Democratic Underground for a refresher.

Way to duck the valid points I brought up by using yet another false equivalence between reality-based concerns and Republican’t propaganda propagation. Coming from someone who is a regular font of Republican’t misinformation only adds to the ironic humor. Don’t worry, Jay – we’re laughing at you, not with you.

And, thanks, Jay, for showing anyone not aware of the duplicity, hypocrisy, dishonesty, and maliciousness that is the heart and soul of the modern Republican’t party.

Stay classy, Republican’t Putsch fellator.

The hypocrisy you display is amazing.

The comedy stylings of Jay “Ayers! Wright! Typhoid Barry! ACORN!” Tea, ladies and gentlemen.

And by “your sense of humor makes me want to rip out my eyes” I mean “your sense of humor makes me want to rip out my eyes”.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go have a good cry over being called part of a pack of “lying weaselly hypocritical unamerican traitors Republican’ts.”

And by “cry,” I mean “laugh.”

Hope you feel better after getting that out of your system. Now run it past someone with a passing grasp of grammar and spelling for the next time you cut and paste your laughable vitriol.

J.

Me too. But I could see that before he was installed (against the wishes if the american people) in 2000.

Tom, how long after 2000 or 2004 did YOU wait before going after Bush? After all, YOU lost those elections.

Probably significantly longer than you and your ilk waited until going after Clinton. And most definitely longer than you and yours went after Gore and Kerry. Also, there is a slight difference between going after someone for partisan political reasons (with little to no truth to them), such as the Republican’ts have, and going after a lying, cokeheaded deserter who went AWOL from his cushy National Guard “service” during wartime (just to mention one actual factual reason for going after him before he stole his first federal election in 2000). But go ahead and try to set up the false equivalence anyhow, Jay. Just another data point to show how much of a pack of lying weaselly hypocritical unamerican traitors Republican’ts like you, Jay, are to the studio audience.

I waited until I could confirm that George Bush, Junior was an incompetent, mean spirited boob in way over his head and surrounded by Machiavellian shitheads. So pretty soon.

This is just an embodiment of the principle we’ve had beaten over our heads for the past eight years: “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”

I guess that tax situation was really that complex, if it monopolized their attention that much.

J.

Th IRS found that he’d omitted to pay self-employment tax. This is a mistake that he and his professional tax preparer should not have made. He paid the back taxes promptly.

The reason he owed self-employment taxes was, of course, that he was not self-employed but worked for an international organization that ran under one of those weird tax-law self-contradictions that the Right loves to complain about since after all it has to get something right once in a while. The IRS saw this failure as something so dangerous and malicious that it charged him no penalties. You try missing something you should have paid and not getting hit with a penalty.

And that was the end of it, almost. The enforcers didn’t notice anything else wrong until the case was examined by somebody really sharp: Obama’s vetting crew. Good luck catching this bunch out with some Palin-esque surprise.

So, when they pointed this one out, he paid up promptly.

Yes, he is utterly unqualified to serve in high office in a Republican administration: he admits mistakes and corrects them.

(Not to say there are no valid grounds for doubt about Geithner. But trust the Republicans not to get involved with those.)

Well, sure. They can’t win as they are and indeed they didn’t.

But things don’t ever stay as they are. The pendulum swings. Things get better and folks get complacent. Thinking things are “permanent” speeds the approach of a tipping point of complacency.

And then the Repugs find something to scare people with and the Dems remember they don’t have a spine so don’t fight back. Best we can hope for is that it takes as long as possible to get there.

“He said he would bring more to the job than any of his predecessors, except possibly Lyndon B. Johnson.”

Wonder if he’ll get as much flack for this as Hillary did for her unfortunate remarks.

Wonder if Cheney will ever get as much flack for anything he’s said or done over the last eight years.

Wonder if Putsch will ever get as much flack for anything he’s said or done over the last eight years.

Wonder if Senator Intertubes will ever get as much flack for anything he’s said or done over the last eight years.

Wonder if the conservative media and the Rabid Republican’t talk radio gang will ever get as much flack for anything they’ve said or done over the last eight years.

“Did either of those other guys have 28 years in Congress before they became VP?”

As if 28 years in congress doing nothing but sucking off the government teat is a qualification

Maybe you can ask Senator Intertubes about that one. Or Cunningham or Abramoff or the rest of the cast of thousands of Republican’ts that have been raping the treasury for the past eight years. Funny how they can lose billions in Iraq, trillions of government money “floating loans” to their banker friends, and no one can even ask them about it. But, the $350 billion that Obama might get a chance to oversee and audit – well, hey, we have to audit that six ways to Sunday before the man’s even president! Nice set of hypocritical standards (or lack thereof) you gots there…

One can hope for a restoration of the rule of law and/or even slightly trying to get to the truth of the Republican’t cabals crimes during that time. One would probably be foolish to expect anything approaching justice when, even now, tired old ditto monkey gibberish and the same old deflect and smear is still all the Republican’ts got.

Until then: elections count. You lost. Get over it and stop trying to throw even more monkey wrenches into the process now that many of the sheeple have finally noticed how badly you’ve Cheneyed things up.

You sound like the fools who want to fight in a burning house.

Sean D. Martin: “I suspect that’s got exactly as much chance as coming true as a ‘permanent Republican majority’.”

If they don’t change, they will never win another nation election again. The demographics have turned against them to the point where they can’t win as they currently are.

If I recall correctly, the turning point state in 2008 was Virginia and the Democrats won Virginia by 8 points.

Confusing, to say the least.

Almost as confusing as “Joe the Plumber” and Taxes being a big issue, but Timothy Geithner the nominee for Treasury Secretary and Taxes… not so much.

I suspect that’s got exactly as much chance as coming true as a “permanent Republican majority”.

Now that you bring it up…
