A ConCon would be scary, but think of the snarkertunities!

Any way we can just put a big HTML strike code in front of Amendment 2 in its entirety? Or just copy-edit it to remove the ambiguities, before Scalia does it from the bench?

IOW he is bing his usual pigheaded self. That tenacity is fine at times, but it can also be a PITA when it turns into garden variety stubbornness

Now that you are The Media, maybe you'll apologize to all the downtrodden copy editors you just insulted.

Yucks, because on the Twitterz you're absolutely REQUIRED to follow people who you don't like because, like your roommates during freshman year, the admins pick them all out for you AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE but to comply, because once you create an account there, the site admins totally OWN you. They will force you to read only tweets from stupid people 24/7 because once you log on, the site will not allow you to navigate away from it nor will it permit you to get up and do anything else. So stay far, far away from Twitter or else say goodbye to your freedomz. 4EVER.

And too, also argle bargle bargle something NSA something something government snooping yadda yadda yadda &etc. So therefore and thus!

Well, to be fair, Cenk just lost his job to the new Al Jezera network, so he needs a fundraising hook and Wonkette appears to be the most convenient target.

Now everybody kiss and make up.

Eeeeeesh. The drama!!

You got called out for being lazy and recycling a 3 year old non story you stole from Ghost Brainfart during a slow news week, not because anyone is OK with the legalized extortion and bribery known as our current campaign finance system, you WATB

Go home Cenk, you're drunk!

There are other reasons he's the problem, too. Many of them.

Including the fact that he's apparently fundamentally incapable of distinguishing between the perfectly routine fundraising the current system absolutely requires of all politicians being done without enthusiasm and without the slightest hint of quid pro quo, and corruption.

Had Holmes-Norton said something along the lines of "If you ever want another of your clients' bills considered by my subcommittee, I better find a fat check in my mailbox by Thursday", <em>that</em> would've been corruption. But she didn't say that, she essentially said "My boss told me I'd be in big trouble if I didn't ask you for money, so this is me, asking you for money", only with more "uh"s.
