They’re spoiled, so I guess they want to throw ‘em out.

And how many Dems voted a safe Yea just because they knew their vote didn’t matter as the corporate wish was etched in stone.

Disgusting, the whole bunch of them. My suggestion is for the unemployed to go and rob the homes of the Senators, rob the bastards of their comfortable way of life and we might get some action. Bastards.

Good morning, pups. It’s Brooks, Cohen and Krugman this morning. Bobo manages to overlook the fact that insubordination is a court martial offense. To Bobo it’s “kvetching,” and everybody does it. In a ghastly piece of crap called “The Culture of Exposure” he says the firing of Gen. Stanley McChrystal shows our troubling emphasis on private over public performance in public officials. Bobo is a moron. Mr. Cohen, in “Feeling Bleu,” has a question: How did France’s “black-blanc-beur” victors of 1998 become this divided band of brats? Prof. Krugman, in “The Renminbi Runaround,” says China is playing games with its foreign-exchange policy at the world’s expense.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge, and I’ve got banana pancakes for breakfast. We’re feeling a bit wrung out down here — it’s almost 80° already, will probably be up around 100° later, and it’s humid enough to make it feel like you’re breathing warm mayonnaise. Well, at least it’s Friday and payday. Have a great day.

Bobo is a moron.

It goes without saying…! ;-)

Thanks, Marion, that treason thingee just doesn’t matter if you’re on the same size as the wingers, seems like. Of course, since Reagan, selling out to the enemy has become tactics.

Cohen, who has only recently discovered that Football is played with a round ball is now the bloody expert on all things French and all things Football. He is an ass.

First, the French team should not have been in the World Cup. They cheated their way in much to the embarrassment of the French people and the French sporting world.

Second, no lame duck coach has the ear of the team. Domenech’s job is over, finished as the team coach and scheduled to be finished the moment the French finished the Cup. The French players, like players all over the world, were not interested in the directions of a lame duck coach, they ignored him as he ignored them.

Third, and I know this is a big surprise to Cohen, the teams playing in the World Cup are all just a mix of players from various club teams not a “play together for a long time type of team” that is part of the charm of the World Cup, part of the game, it is one of the major components of The Cup, it is one of the reasons it is so interesting to billions of people world wide.

Fourth one team in ascendency and one team in decline….jeeze what a bloody surprise, who woulda thunk.

Fifth, I think I need one.

PS Landon Donovan’s last contract was for over $2million

I love Firedoglake. This is where I go to find out what’s really going on.

But sometimes it seems like y’all have your own language here. Who is “Bobo”?

widely used to denote the moronic David Brooks, not just at FDL

PS Landon Donovan’s last contract was for over $2million

That is per year, Mr Cohen!

Bobo is David “I’m a moron” Brooks who for some inexplicable reason is given much attention in punditville. He’s called Bobo because he wrote this piece of shit. He’s a moron. On edit — he’s also widely mocked for having referred to visiting the salad bar at Applebee’s, which doesn’t have salad bars.

Don’t be ridiculous. The unemployed should apologize to Joe Barton.

Good morning all.

Need some coffee before joining the discussion, except to note that bash the most vulnerable is proceeding apace in D.C.

Brooks fancies himself an powerful intellect, but of course if you asked a real intellect, like oh Habermas or Pocock what they think of Brooks, they likely wouldn’t have the foggiest idea who you were talking about. He’s an AIPAC shill brought in from Canada to dazzle the freshman who are green enough to think that the NYT is liberal and that his columns are the manifestations of deep contemplation. What they are are book reports. He will die one day and nobody will ever mention his name again. HL Menken will be read in 100 years. Brooks will be forgotten instantly. Such is the “power” of his intellect. He is arguably the single greatest pseudo intellectual living today.

YEAH! Fugggin lazzee titwadS! USA! USA! USA!

Actually, according to some, maybe most, Republicans the unemployed are bums or hobos. See here, where you will find the following:

Reid accused Republicans of lacking sympathy for the unemployed.

“We’ve had people make ridiculous statements on the Republican side, saying they’re bums, they’re hobos,” Reid said Wednesday.

Of course, nobody pays any attention to what Reid says. Rachel Maddow had clips of quotes last night.

Bobo writes for the New York Times and is sometimes a news pundit on PBS opposite Mark Shields Bobo has a reputation for being wrong about everything.
A few months before the banking crisis he wrote about how Bush got no credit in the Media for how good the economy was.
Bobo writing reflects whatever the GOP talking point of the day is if he makes an argument other GOPers will all magically choose to talk about the same topic and use the same reasoning as Bobo uses.
Which is funny when the Lake stumbles onto a new issue we normally argue about it and come up with different reasons to be pro or con any issue.
The GOP acts like they all literally share one mind, and that mind is Karl Rove’s. A man who was called Bush’s brain but who’s great claim to intelligence is stealing elections.
After Karl stole the last 2 elections I decided that we need to elect Dems who have the Stones to say I won’t let you steal the election.

‘A man who was called Bush’s brain but who’s great claim to intelligence is stealing elections.’

with the vilest of dirty tricks, like the SC tactic that beat out McAyn, accusing him of fathering a dark skinned child.

Swim is up top…

Well aware, thx.

Another term for him is Mr. Magoo, from the famously clueless and myopic cartoon character voiced by Jim Backus. Except that’s an insult to Mr. Magoo, who was kind and possessed of a conscience.

Better get those drones over here fast!!!!

Repug bastards !!!!!

I wrote Hersezenhorn yesterday about this piece of crap article. Somehow he treated this legislation like it was an every day situation failing to mention the 1.2 million that are unemployed which would have given this vote more context. And once again, the media and Hersezenhorn fails to mention the unprecedented use of the filibuster by the GOP.

Until these stenographers wake up from their stupor and quit writing Dems say this and Repugs say that — and actually give context to what these a-holes are doing in Congress, they are just affording them protection.

Hersezenhorn and his kind are just enablers of Congress and fail to serve as the adversarial press that they should be. NY Times — a fall from grace for sure.
