Et tu, Atrios?

During the primaries, I wondered how many months would pass before the fanatical Obi supporters/Hillary bashers turned against their new Messiah. I didn't think the day would come so quickly for this guy.

Meanwhile, this Kossack is furious at MSNBC for running anti-Obi hit pieces. Odd. MSNBC's animus toward our president has heretofore escaped the notice of most people. Nevertheless, the majority of Kos readers responding to the poll question "How would you characterize MSNBC's underlying agenda?" say that the network is either "right-wing" or "Republican."

Y'know, it suddenly occurs to me that the folks who visit Kos may not see reality the way other people do...

And this Kos diary asks whether Markos Moulitsas works for the CIA, as alleged by Konspiracy King Alex Jones. The author of the diary insists that his question is offered in jest. Here, too, we have a poll -- and at this writing, the majority of respondents agree that Kos does indeed work for the Agency.

I like this joke.

The joke gets better. Some of the comments accuse the diarist of being in the employ of the Republicans. Aren't you glad that Kossacks aren't a bunch of paranoids, as opposed to the towering intellectuals who dote on Alex Jones?

The only O-bot I personally know is irate over the MSM coverage of Obama. She heretofore had Chris and Keith on pedestals for their blind worship of "the One".

I find that highly amusing.

Ha! Ha! The last time I read a diary over at Kos they were calling somebody an evil lying bastard. Almost word for word to troubador's tip jar comment. I guess some things never change. These people have been completely delusional for a long, long time.

Two nasty Obots I know were informed this past week that they must look for summer and fall jobs on spring break instead of drinking themselves into oblivion at the beach. The reason you ask? Their portfolios for college have disappeared as have their parents retirement since November. These twenty somethings have never even babysat or mowed grass. I suggested they join the military for college money. Things are changing rapidly.

I hadn't actually considered whether Kos worked for the Agency, but he has certainly talked about applying for the job and the interviews. It wouldn't actually surprise me. Is there a reason that it is absurd on the face of it? I mean, what do I know?

The interesting is that they talk about how different things would be if McCain had won, but never acknowledge or contemplate how differently things would be unfolding had Clinton been nominated. It just cannot be acknowledged that there were other options and if all of the votes had been counted, we would have a more experienced president.

love that poll, joseph! I wonder if they will realize that it's backfiring. Hope not, the educational value is off the charts.

This is hilarious. "The buck stops here?" When has Obama ever taken blame or responsibility for anything?

Saying "I screwed up" doesn't quite cut it.

So far four Obama appointees have "tax problems". They forgot to pay them

The buck stops at the nearest person Obama, with the help of the MSM, can blame.

I had to check twice to make sure I hadn't landed on Jon Swift's site. That's the funniest shit I've read in weeks. Karma is wonderful!

"The buck stops at the nearest person Obama, with the help of the MSM, can blame."

...which is somewhat reminiscent of the "few bad apples" argument when it came to assigning responsibility for torturing and beating prisoners of war to death.

Obama has, in fact, taken responsibility for many things. But only good things, and ones he didn't actually do.

You always bring the best stuff from B0botland! It;s why I check this blog often.
My favorite turnaround - because of irony, it's them blaming foreigner Gordon Brown for the crappy way Obama treated him (" The British burned the White House to the ground in 1814

These prissy Brit publications should be grateful we even allowed the PM into our White House.)
Remember when only freepers thought anyone not from US was bad?
