Jabbering moron Joe Biden was trying to save America by turning off a $125 website for endangered species, but somehow everybody still thinks Joe Biden is a fool. So congratulations to Joe Biden for somehow looking worse than congressional Republicans, great job!
Budget talks hit an impasse on Thursday after both Republicans walked out, throwing doubt on Washington’s ability to reach a deal that would allow America to continue borrowing and avoid a debt default.
Granted, Jon Kyl and Eric Cantor were going to walk out anyway, because they are hideous cretins who are paid by the Koch Brothers to destroy what’s left of America. [Reuters]

"Granted, Jon Kyl and Eric Cantor were going to walk out anyway, because they are hideous cretins who are paid by the Koch Brothers. "
Kyl and Cantor are prostitutes? Vitter must be happy.
A mouth's a mouth.
And pooping on a poopyhead, is pooping on a pooyhead
Now Biden has more time to finish detailing his Firebird.
And rubbing Rogaine on his pate.
Ugh. Goose liver does NOT go with Rogaine.
Not even if' ya want to put hair on yer chest? Pâté – pate all them furrin' diacritical marks are down right hair-raising.
If God had wanted me to use any of those furrin squigglies, he would have intelligently designed my keyboard to have them. Therefore, I wasn't meant to accent my words. Or there is no God. Or my jokes go over like a led zeppelin. No, I don't want my lemon squeezed quite yet.
All that's left for Biden is to take a bus tour from DC to New Hampshire and explain how Benedict Arnold regretted he had only one life to give for his country, then quit his bus and take the Amtrak back to Delaware.
Aides familiar with the talks have said that a final deal will have to be struck between Obama and Boehner, not their deputies.
Oh — so Cantor walking out won't change anything anyway. I wonder why he didn't just say "I'm leaving because I'm totally extraneous to this process, nobody cares what I think anyway, and I haven't whined in public for, like, three days and this seemed like a good opportunity."
I think Cantor and Kyl are just pissy that they didn't get invited to go play golf with Obama and Boehner this last weekend.
It wasn't fuckin' putt putt…
What is with the GOP and quitting? They're like a bunch of pissy whiny little kids that constantly redo the rules, then get mad because they don't win every time and take their balls and go home.
I think their problem is fear that a black man may play with their balls.
unless it's Herman Cain….
Or bust their balls.
If only.
(In a totally non – violent way of course.)
Bust their balls with votes.
Most of them need 'the time out stair'. I think there are enough stairs over at the Lincoln Monument.
Laugh all you want but their twenty year-long temper tantrum seems to work.
They see how well quitting worked for Saint Sarah.
Everyone in US America to Eric Can'tor:
"Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarbles!
Maybe they just had jury duty.
I hope they get sequestered.
Just make sure to apply an airtight seal to the doors and windows.
Fuck you, Cantor. I guess hostage taking isn't as fun when people aren't begging. I say fuck em', they'll never default; their overlords on Wall street will never let them.
I don't know. I bet Goldman Sacks has already worked up the massive shorting vehicles that will make them 15 billion a day after the collapse.
Apropos of nadda; Cantor's with the Gayz, right?
Has his mother disinherited him?
I think this is more a game of "Gay or Southerner?" Which is nearly identical to the game "Gay or British?"

The Turtle & the Hairless.
All this quitting is making me grumpier.
There's no point in having Cantor there anyway since he doesn't seem to know there is a difference between planning a budget and deciding on whether to pay for the shit you already bought.
We are talking about the same person that claimed he was the target of Liberal Death Squads when a bullet fell out of the sky and hit a window in a building that his office just happened to be in.
I'll show 'em, I'm gonna quit the Teaparty. Oh, wait.
Budget talks hit an impasse on Thursday after both Republicans walked out, throwing doubt on Washington’s ability to reach a deal that would allow America to continue borrowing and avoid a debt default.
What a load of b.s. Republicans are holding a gun to the country's head, and demanding budget cuts that will cripple the economy.
We can't afford that deal, and their bondholder
friendsowners will cut their balls off if they follow through on the threat.~
Fun upside: I think the people who really buy the strings and pull them in this country are pissed they might have to reveal themselves averting this little economic hell-hole dustup.
This pisses me off. How about every fucking Democrat get a memo that says, "Bush Tax Cuts expire for anyone over 250,000 a year" because that's what the majority of Americans want.
And take the lid off Social Security earnings. It won't hurt Bill Gates et. al. to help his fellow Americans.
And keep hammering on something I heard one brave Democrat (can't remember who. Did a serious kitchen clean that was one of those Q-tip to clean in the corners kind of clean and I was fucking exhaused and still am) say last night, That the Republics want to keep unemployment high so Obama will lose the election.
All three of those things are so easy, so popular with the people (the CS Monitor did a series on Social Security a few years ago and the income cap was, by far, the most popular way to help SS) and so easy to hammer on–fits with the Republics only care about the rich meme that Labor, the base, and anyone who can be influenced by hearing the same thing over and over (like Faux News listeners) again.
Does this just make too much fucking sense?
Yes.
I've been screaming about the income cap for years. Most of my fellow duh-merkuns don't even realize there is one, and if they do, barely know anyone that actually worries about it raising (because they all make WAY under the limit). I really only started caring about it when I hit it (and couldn't believe it was so low).
AGREED. Speaking of Bush tax cuts, remember when we extended all of those because "not doing so would cause uncertainty" or something like that. You know what actually causes a fucking lot of uncertainty? THREATENING TO DEFAULT… by refusing to pay for programs you already agreed to pay for. The debt ceiling shouldn't even exist.
EDIT: oh, in my rage, I forgot about this. The WaPo headline is "Cantor pulls out of White House budget talks" Pull out. Tehee. I guess this might've been slightly funny if this was Boehner. Oh well, I mean, he's still a dick?
Sadly, my first thought was, "Oh great. What are the Dems going to give away *this* time?"
Several years ago I hit the income cap for Social Security withholding, only because I held two jobs for most of the year. Until that happened I didn't know there was a magic six figure number that meant no more withholding–it certainly hasn't affected me since then.
So wait, did Biden actually show some balls instead of giving the Republicans everything they want like the Dems normally do? No wonder Cantor was shocked.
Drama queens.
In a just world Biden would get to punch them both repeatedly in the groin before they said "uncle" and were then carted off to some corporate hog farm.
Obviously these fucks don't give two shits about America.
Actually, late last night Biden was exhausted and fed up with working with these bastards and finally screamed at Eric Cantor, "Stop that fucking whining or I' m going to cram this g**damn pizza box down your throat.
Dixie Jew got scared, and because he and Kyl function on the buddy system, so they both had to leave. I wish Biden would come out and admit it. Didn't I read on the wonket that nobody likes a whiner?
Oh how I wish that really happened.
Apparently the mere thought of raising taxes is so against what the Founders and Jesus intended that America is better off in receivership. Eventually someone will have to pay the defense contractors so people on Social Security or any remaining entitlement programs (along with our large prison population) will be forced to pick field crops, formerly done by illegalz.
Jon Kyl and Eric Cantor : I'm takin' my raping of the american dream and going home!!!!
Good thing there appears to be a whole slew of "Republicans not being bipartisan enough" articles and columns out there about this whole news story since it's only fair that these stories come out whenever Obama tries to get his way.
Oh….nevermind
OT Rant:
Did the can just get thrown under the bus on its way to getting kicked down the road until it gets rammed down a throat at someone's kitchen table? I've just about had it with punditry jargon-fests that invariably end with 'Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.'
I feel better now and hope to have my snark up and running any day now, depending on conditions on the ground.
We should know in the next six months.
Jon Kyl and Eric Cantor walked out of the meeting; fine, but why were they holding hands and humming "Dixie"?
Aahhhhhh….Well there's……Oh wait, I just read…no that wasn't hopefull….Sorry I got nuthin'
i wish biden and obama would be the bad asses the right always accuses them of being.
i mean we could seriously use some chicago politics here.
Nancy Pelosi should let them borrow her balls.
The Roaring '20's variety, preferably.
Some random GOP tool on MSNBC: Yes, it's a revenue issue too. But we have to get out of the usual mindset of Democrats saying raise taxes and Republicans saying cut taxes. Instead, we need to make sure we reduce taxes.
I swear, all in the same breath.
Synonyms — how do they work?
Bet he was homeschooled as a child…
This piece needs the screaming baby picture to make it complete.
A really cute guy is cooking me dinner tonight and odds are very high that I'll get laid. Yay!
OH! You probably meant a hopeful posting about the government and the world at large. Sorry, no can do.
I think Bloviate meant hope for all of us, not just you (and the guy too I guess).
I'll take any good news I can get at this point. Have fun tonight!
What the fuck is wrong with this country? This shouldn't be an issue – you know why? Because we passed a fucking budget. There is no sane reason why you should have a debt limit authorization separate from the budget. If the idiots in Congress don't like the amount of debt the country needs to take on then they shouldn't pass the damn budget.
Sorry – nothing funny above. Truck Nutz. Buttsechs. There.
War Bonds.
This clownshow needs a dancing bear.
Nah…too easy.
This would imply that Republicans use their legs for something other than kicking the poors and minorities.
Here's my gloomy prediction. Barry is going to get hosed in 2012, plus we'll have GOP across the board (I bet that just made noman cum). When THAT happens, these fuckers will be OMG no jobs so they will say "We have to prime the pump" and release assloads of money into military projects. Cuts…err sacrifices will need to be made on the backs of the middle class and poor so goodbye Medicare, UHC, etc. When this happens, the Koch brothers will release a video of them smoking cigars and sitting on a pile of skulls laughing about how much they want to help the country.
Canada is looking better and better.
Oh Dashboard, please don't talk like that, I had that exact thought yesterday as I watched Barry's numbers going south over the last 2 or 3 weeks. I hate Cantor with such a burning passion, I would like to prick-tease him until he died.
You don't know much about Canada right now, do you? sigh.
Things are worse?
Consumer debt just exceeded the U.S. before the crash, housing values relative to income are now above the U.S. before the crash, if you count national and provincial debt they are as indebted relative to GDP as the U.S. and they're betting the farm on the Chinese buying commodities forever, and Harper aka Bush III (no exaggeration, at all, not a whit), just got a parliamentary majority and will be sitting on the throne for 5 long horrible years.
You're guy's only hope, at least politically, is if some wing of your Conservative Party grows a conscience and causes a schism bringing down the government. Either that, or some tawdry sex scandal, but looking at Harper, that would never happen, because who'd have sex with Harper other than his wife? I mean, really. The guy looks like a bunch of oatmeal poured into a sausage skin.
Now don't be silly – Noman can't cum unless he's stalking a playground.
Awesome…but ouch.
The fine art of Frank Frazetta.
Republiklans don't raise the debt ceiling and the campaign contributions from the financial sectors and Wall Street dry up.
It's OK. Joe can still talk to himself.
And probably have a more intelligent conversation at that.
Osama Bin Laden is still dead?
I got nothing.
Um – Peter Jackson's finally gotten to starting filming of The Hobbit after all the problems and delays?
Now if you'll excuse me I have to apologize to my neighbors for the loud and long laugh I just had.
Am I the only person who sees the bright side here? Because I really don't think Cantor's pissy fit is going to go down well with the American people…and I remember that the 1995 government shutdown bit the Reeps in the ass…
Go ahead, Cantor, take your balls (if you have any) and go home…
Maybe they were just too sexy for those talks
too sexy for those talks
too sexy
Just watch the megabuckers move everything into gold just before the market craters over the debt limit crisis, then they'll buy low and laugh their evil asses off.
Are you fucking serious? Eric fucking Cantor walks out, and it's Joe Biden's fault?
Come on, Ken; time to quit the charade, already. Gawd, I loves me some turtles, but this continued assault by you writers makes me want to take a car to a family of turtles crossing a road…
Yeah. Biden really blew it by daring to put forth a Democratic proposal that *gasp* increased corporate taxes. What a fuck-up!
There have been a couple of interviews with Mitch McConnell where he's made it pretty clear that the Senate Republican's strategy is to not compromise at all and force the Dems to either pass bills alone or cave entirely. The House doesn't even have to worry about Dems having the numbers to pass bills alone, and Cantor sounds like he's decided to follow Uncle Mitch's lead.
It's like the GOP wants to govern as though the rest of the country that doesn't agree with them doesn't even exist. Shocking!
This is the Gospel truth, right here. Unlike tax cuts, the debt ceiling has to be raised, no buts or ifs about it. Period. Republicans may seem like they want to bring the country to utter destruction, and maybe that's true, but they'd never have the balls to do it in one fell swoop by refusing to raise the debt ceiling. They'll niggle away until the thing eventually collapses, but they'll never be able to pull the trigger.
What the GOP does win in all of this is the messaging. The Dems ultimately win this issue, but the GOP wins the optics…again…like always.
The breeze between their ears, I assume.
There is something left of America?
More staged bullshit from a group that isn't serious about saving the economy or coming up with jobs. The word I heard last night was this was a planned stunt to garner more publicity for these guys. And the obtuse American freedumb lovers lap this up. I am afraid for my country.
