...under the NFL's new "U.S. Senate Rules." Drew Brees tried, but it's almost impossible to get 60 points in this climate.
Here's a song for your 2010 Republican Party:
Will, Please post your articles after you sober up. GHK— GHK
Comment removed.
Will-- what is more hurtful? When your work is criticized as dishonest, or when it is noted as lazy? Are you more self critical of your dishonest journalism, or when you are lazy and don't bother to look deeper to get to the heart of a story? Which makes you feel most guilty, laziness or dishonesty? The third option would be stupidity, but I think you're quite smart, so we'll limit it to the other two options.— Mr. Smith- The marginalized minority is doing what it does best - whine, complain, cry, whimper and cower. Listen to any "conservative" and they'll be whining within a few seconds. There's nothing on Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Ingraham that doesn't dissolve into self-pitying whimpering. Real Americans are the strength of the country. We can stand up and defend our beliefs without crying about how everyone is out to get us and the mean brown people are plotting to kill us all. It's really sad.— E.Plebnista
- Yeah, Wil, I'm sure that you sang a different tune when the Senate Dems were abusing the filibuster rules to keep qualified conservative judges off of the federal bench during Bush's presidency. Ain't it a bee-yotch when it goes the other way? We'll "do something" when your "one" actually has a good idea that addresses an issue. Waiting, waiting. . . . .— ILikeIke
- "We can stand up and defend our beliefs without crying about how everyone is out to get us and the mean brown people are plotting to kill us all." Oh the irony. Post after post whining about Republicans obstructing progressive utopia, followed by this one, utterly lacking in self awareness.— RG
- Due to wx etc. I've been off-line awhile but wondered when Will (and Polman) will do a piece on that HUGE story about Palin having 3 words written on the palm of her hand during a speech. I mean this is breaking news, on some planets. BO probably sleeps with a teleprompter by his side (I know,tmi) and Palin gets nailed by the rabid left for three words on her hand. I can't wait for Will's predictable column (unless of course, Beck said something that offended Will especially). These are tough editorial choices, I know, but that's what you guys are paid for -- decidedly left wing columns. That's ok, it's the Inky and I still read it for entertainment value.— pj katauskas
I don't know if I agree with you Will or disagree. But one thing's for certain: a real journalist would have given an argument instead of your weak insinuation.- You have to love Swifty's typical GOP response when he claims 2/3 of the USA opposes "Obamacare" (a/k/a comprehensive health care reform). Of course, Swifty and his fellow wingnuts have it almost exactly backward. Actually, according to a new WAPO-ABC News Poll, 63% FAVOR comprehensive health care reform. Way to spread the mantra of the party of No, Swifty.— AHiredGun
- ///We can stand up and defend our beliefs without crying about how everyone is out to get us and the mean brown people are plotting to kill us all. /// People from India want to kill us? Since when?— General_Turgidson
- Would they please fire this guy already...— dogg
- Excellent, General.— pj katauskas
- I guess some of you folks don't read other blogs, which is fine, but on most blogs not every post is supposed to be "War and Peace." Bloggers can write long essays, and I do that when I can, but they also put up posts that are as short as one sentence or one word or a even picture with no words, like the Bush billboard. That's because a) it reflects their world view on some level b) often it links to a longer article, since a blogger's goal to to drive an ongoing discussion. When I put up a short post like this, it's typically because I'm working on something else and rather than just have what's already been up there for a number of hours, I think it's a good idea to change the subject a little. Tonight, I'm actually writing a long, researched blog post, and while I do that I threw up this short post making fun of Republicans who now filibuster everything. This is how blogs work -- if you don't like blogs, no one is forcing you to read them. Sit in a comfy chair and read the New York Review of Books instead.— will
- A long researched blog post, goody, another one on Palin?— pj katauskas
- Let's see when President Mike Pence takes office in January of 2013 and the Democrats are back to their rightful and deserved status as looney minority party in the Senate if they still insist on abolishing the filibuster. I'll go ahead and take a wild guess here....No. Since you can't count on Will Bunch to give you the accurate analysis on this I will... The liberal Dems, like Levin and Leahy, have been rolled out to the media to declare the GOP use of the filibuster as "unprecedented" and "outrageous" purely as a political ploy to paint the GOP as over the top obstructionists. It's a desperate strategy on the part of the far-left Dems who can't believe that they got so close to their dream of socialized government-run healthcare only to have the ignorant peasants (i.e. American people) reject it. In addition to being ridiculously hypocritical, it's also a losing strategy since it's obvious now that America is happy the GOP is obstructing the creeping socialism of Obamacare.— 24601
