Never click on pottico.

Worth repeating.

Never click on Politico

Apparently both Krugman AND O'Donnell are such sharp and astute observers of the political scene that they both stepped in it with both feet!

Why post this? It's ok to pass up something stupid.

A wierd and unfunny satire. At the outset the author quotes a nasty remark uttered by a former Republican Party leader in Iowa, as reported by the New York Times. In an author's note at the end the author mentions Swift and Orwell to his understandably confused reader - satire, get it? Laff riot!!

This election is, you know, like, serious, the future of the nation being in the hands of a spendthrift malignant narcissist whom no one knows anything about and a senate majority leader who is a crook and a nut - stuff like that.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

The Demos get to a point where they can't help themselves, and they overdo. It's like the Paul Wellstone funeral.
When they're uber manic, they just turn people off. Independents WON'T be impressed.

I try to avoid Politico ...

... but sometimes it is impossible.

They are entangled with everything, it seems.

For those of you who have a sense of humor and who recognize that even liberals can sometimes (intentionally) be funny, you may enjoy reading this original article which subsequently caused some completely clueless liberal TV-talking-heads to crack open their skulls when they dove into the deep end of the pool. If you don't want to contaminate your browsers by clicking on Politico, it is also a syndicated article, and you can find it at http://www.creators.com/liberal/roger-simon.html.

That's "President-Elect Romney" to you...

If there's a stench, it's behind Hillary.
Go over to Drudge for her mug shot of what look to be some painful gas!

I have a sense of humor and I didn't find this pseudo-satire funny at all. Lefties enjoy trying to get other people's goats (see Alinsky, Saul). Conservatives have work to do.

The headline of Attercliffe's post says it all: "Not even the great economists of history can get us out of this fix." Still laughing?

Politico... Roger Simon... I'll pass.

If there's a stench, it's coming from Politico. You can't get any more unprofessional than this piece. This will further damage their already shaky credibility. I'm guessing there are panicky meetings on damage control going on with the JournoList crowd.

Sorry for second reply post, but my reason for posting this article was as a reference for the follow-up actions of demented liberals who completely missed the satire and fell for the story hook, line and sinker -- because they so desperately wanted to believe it. Check out the video at http://video.msnbc.msn.com/the-last-word/49173345#49173345 and watch Lawrence O'Donnell make a complete fool of himself.

For satire, this was a pathetic piece. Sounded the same as all of Simon's opinion articles. The Stench comes from the Politico site!

Politic IS the Washington Post. The Washington Post IS Politico.

Enough said.

I agree with #5, though I believe that this article and its posting are more sinister than stupid. Think about the narrative being advanced through this "clumsy satirical piece."

They obviously don't remember Mr. Stinky (per Moo!chelle) on his campaign plane in 2008.

Newsmax is right up there these days as being another upside down site to click to. Today's headline reads "Elderly overwhelming against Romney/Ryan Medicare plan", this in ALL swing states, they reference a just released WA Post poll, that is BS..I saw another poll yesterday where Romney/Ryan were up 16 points with Elderly in Florida..Big swing in 24 hours! Why would Newsmax even headline a Washington POST poll? pffft

I must cleanse my nostrils from the stench of this waste of 3 minutes.
