THIS MAH BIG PLANE. In Iraq, we are apparently vaguely disappointed to not be blowing it up anymore: Mr. Kerry’s visit to Iraq on Sunday was the first by an American secretary of state since 2009. He came at a time when concerns are growing over Iraq’s role in the crisis in Syria, and when the United States’ influence in Iraq has been dwindling. The State Department has been sharply reducing its huge presence here, and its diplomats have seemed powerless to affect the course of events on two of Washington’s pressing concerns: Iraqi tolerance for the Iranian weapons shipments … Continue reading Happy Kerry Photo

‘That Is How I First Came to the Senate’

Allison Hantschel

Photo credit. John Kerry, delivering a blistering, fierce, loving, rambling, inspiring farewell address to the Senate today: I came to the National Mall in 1971 with fellow veterans who wanted only to talk to our leaders about the war. President Nixon tried to kick us off the Mall. We knocked on door after door on Capitol Hill, but too often couldn’t get an audience with our representatives. A precious few, including Ted Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey, came to where we were camped out and heard what we had to say. And I saw first-hand that our political process works only … Continue reading ‘That Is How I First Came to the Senate’

Snarky, My Favorite Flavor of Democrat

Allison Hantschel

OUCH: “Tea Party House Republicans have had a rough month … We have a few suggestions for House Republicans that might make their next month a little bit easier,” said Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Jesse Ferguson in a release. Among the “suggested” agenda items complied by the DCCC: breakfast paid for by lobbyists, “Science 101,” a workshop on “How to stop talking about ‘legitimate rape’ and insulting women,” a math course on “counting to 218 votes” — and, of course, trust falls. Also on the suggested topics to be discussed: “How to increase our approval ratings: What root canals, … Continue reading Snarky, My Favorite Flavor of Democrat

Oh NO YOU DON’T, Swift Boat Assholes

Not. Again. The founder of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, John O’Neill told Fox News’ Hannity that if Barack Obama nominates John Kerry to Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense the group will “do the very best we can” to protest the appointment. Twitter is full of this bitchery this morning, armchair warriors yelling about the sacredness of our military and how JOHN KERRY IS A GAY FAGGORT and all manner of other oldsauce nonsense. The only saving grace in trying to re-run smears is that in our brand-new information superhighway magical mystery Internet wonderland, anything we’ve heard more … Continue reading Oh NO YOU DON’T, Swift Boat Assholes

Happy Democrat Photo: Feel the Tammy-mentum!

AP photo via Politico. I know. I feel dirty, too. My favorite Democrat is opening up a can of whoopass on Thompson: Already down almost 10 points in the PollTracker Average, Tommy Thompson has now shown up in a video from a Tea Party meeting in June bragging that who better than him to “do away with the Medicare and Medicaid”.

Shorter John Kerry: Who You Callin’ A Bitch?

U-N-I-T-Y: Ask Osama bin Laden is he is better off now than he was four years ago. [snip] You know it isn’t — it isn’t fair. It isn’t fair to say that Mitt Romney doesn’t have a position on Afghanistan. He has every position. (APPLAUSE) He — he was against — he was against setting a date for withdrawal. Then he said it was right. And then he left the impression that maybe it was wrong to leave this soon. He said it was tragic to leave Iraq. And then he said it was fine. He said we should have … Continue reading Shorter John Kerry: Who You Callin’ A Bitch?

I am thinking about all the dicks you’re going to have to eat, pal. ALL. THE. DICKS. When the it comes to the contentious topic of Mitt Romney’s tax returns, the Romney campaign has invoked precedent, defending their decision to release just two years worth of returns as the standard set by the campaigns of John McCain and John Kerry. The Romney campaign renewed this argument on Sunday. In fact. Sen. Kerry (D-MA) had released 20 years of tax returns when he ran for president in 2004. And also, I thought Kerry was an America-hating Commie Frenchman. Since when is … Continue reading Happy Kerry Photo

Our President is a Ridiculous Dork, She Says Approvingly

I just love how after the kid (a remarkably composed and mature child, as I would probably have been stuttering and tripping over myself at his age) says he shoots marshmallows from the air cannon, Obama looks around like, “and I don’t have one with the presidential seal on it WHY, now?”  A.  Continue reading Our President is a Ridiculous Dork, She Says Approvingly

Happy Kerry Photo: The GLASSES, Guys

I’m sorry, it’s been completely years, and I should be over him by now. I’M NOT. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts has introduced federal legislation to expressly prohibit anti-LGBT discrimination in housing. The bill, known as the Housing Opportunities Made Equal Act, or HOME Act, would amend the 1968 Fair Housing Act to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, as well as amend the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to prevent such discrimination in lending (the bill would also bar discrimination based on source of income and marital status). A House version of the … Continue reading Happy Kerry Photo: The GLASSES, Guys

No Surrender

Peter Adrastos Athas

One of the things my distinguished colleague from the great state of Illinois and I have in common is a fondness for John Kerry. He’s not my boyfriend and he wasn’t always a great candidate but he’s a good guy. He’s gone back to the Senate, rolled up his sleeves and gone to work instead of petulantly pouting like Senator Walnuts. Bruce Springsteen’sNo Surrenderwas Kerry’s theme song in 2004. Best campaign song sinceHappy Days Are Here Again.Too bad the campaign didn’t have a happy ending, no lewd jokes please. Hush Jude. Here’s a live peformance by the Boss and the … Continue reading No Surrender

Happy Michelle Obama Photo

Our First Lady is awesome: Austin Futch, 10, from Memphis, Tennessee, said he quizzed the first lady about a few things on his mind concerning life in the White House. He wanted to know how it felt to be surrounded at all times bySecret Service agents — not too bad because they are nice guys — and if it was hard being married to the president. “No, he’s a pretty good guy,”Michelle Obama told him, according to a transcript of the calls released by the White House. “I mean, it’s a tough job and sometimes you want to do everything … Continue reading Happy Michelle Obama Photo
