Monday Political Sausage

Today’s Sausage is full of Pink Slime.

  • Everyone agrees shit’s fucked up. No one knows how to fix it.
  • Paul Krugman is sick of your shit.
  • I’m dying to know what other 2010 Campaign Promises the GOP is going to renege on.
  • And this is exactly why the vast majority of legal scholars are going “The individual mandate is constitutional, and I have no idea what the hell is going on here.”
  • New trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s “The Newsroom”, on HBO.
  • I was hoping this was encouraging the President to whack Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and John Roberts on the nose with a rolled up copy of the Constitution, but no such luck.
  • E.J. Dionne comes to the same conclusion everyone else did about fourish years ago: the Right is off the rails, like a crazy train.
  • And for actual Pink Slime news from Doghouse Riley. Now that I think about it, “Pink Slime News” is essentially what Fox News is. It may contain news, but it’s so far removed from the original product that calling it “news” is like calling pink slime “meat”.
  • Ta-Nehisi Coates gets it.
  • Let’s call this what it is: the GOP is “settling” for Mitt Romney.
  • And this is what happens when you spend two years ginning up your base to hate a CONSERVATIVE health care plan, because on the chance it gets overturned you’re left with “PRIVATIZE EVERYTHING”, which no one wants, which means the next thing up is the Public Option or Single Payer.
  • Gee, I can’t imagine why.
  • DOOM. DOOM. DOOOOOOOOOM.
  • And you thought staff-banging was the worst of Herman Cain’s sins?
  • “The Emperor has no clothes!”
  • John Boehner hates women, gays, and veterans.
  • When ALABAMA is rejecting your “Taxpayer Protection Pledge”, maybe it’s time to rethink your strategy.
  • Bill Kristol made an unintentional point here: perhaps our society should be indicted for creating the circumstances that allowed the Trayvon Martin murder to happen.
  • I’ll give this about a week before the GOP goes back to scorching the earth. Even William Tecumseh Sherman is going “Wow, that’s fucked up.”
  • The GOP has zero problem demonizing veterans, especially those that have given their bodies in service to their country. Just ask Max Cleland.
  • You and me both. You and me both.
