Horses Ass and Sound Politics… The yin and yang of Washington’s political blogosphere? Or, maybe, fighting the same battles from slightly different perspectives?
Crosscut reports, you decide.
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Goldy, who’s that guy to your right? He looks like a Middle Easterner. How did he get into the country? On the ferry? Did you run his ID through Homeland Security?
Bush Drunk In Bejing?
I saw an amazing series of photos on AOL. Bush looks drunk. Two Secret Service agents hold him under the armpits after he stumbled in the seats. In another picture, his elbow is all scraped up where he fell. In another photo, he’s standing next to a bikini-clad volleyball player looking like he’s about to pat her ass. She’s about a foot taller than he is. His daughter Barbara looks like she’s trying hard to pretend she doesn’t know her dad. The Chinese look at him like he’s a hillbilly from the decadent West …. oh wait, he is!!
Cowboy Foreign Policy In Action
“Once war began, the U.S. looked hesitant and ineffective, answering tank columns with jawboning by President Bush on the sidelines of the Olympic Games in Beijing and Rice on the phone from a resort vacation.”
(Quoted from MSNBC under fair use.)
Roger Rabbit Commentary: It turns out that chest wingers have been thumping all these years is covered with chicken feathers.
Watch Out For Porn Scammer!
“(LONGMONT, Colo.) A man claiming to be a police detective tried to get an adult novelty shop to give him free X-rated videos, saying he wanted to make sure the performers weren’t underage … the man showed a badge and left a business card from the Longmont police ‘age verification unit.’ Cmdr. Tim Lewis said there is no such unit. ‘It was inventive on his part, I’ll give him that,’ Lewis said. Police are looking for him.”
(Quoted from Newsweek under fair use.)
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Why didn’t the cheapskate avoid attention by putting the porn videos on his credit card like everyone else? If he tries this on me, I’ll give him pictures of a guy who gets waitresses fired.
So….who paid for the room?

He could have diverted attention from himself by trying to flush the Quran down a toilet*.

Goldy I don’t see how you can stand to be in the same room as that traitor – but whatever. I’d have real trouble not earning myself a few days in jail if that punk were that close to me. While I do understand might doesn’t make right – it sometimes feels good nonetheless.
Easy answer the republican. He has a job.
It’s scary the two look so much alike.
Is that goldy dressed in a black t-shirt and black shirt? Someone should tell him that it doesn’t make him look slimmer, that dressing in black is an old wives tale.
If that article is correct, it looks like sound politics has more visitors.
Marvin Stamn,
“Easy answer the republican. He has a job.”
Oh..Marvin, Marvin, perennially wrong Marvin.
At the time the picture was taken both Stefan and Goldy were marginally employed.
In any case, there was no room charge. It was a weekly gathering of Drinking Liberally at the Montlake Alehouse on election night, 2006. (And yes, Marvie-Doodles, I know you didn’t ask the question originally).
“If that article is correct, it looks like sound politics has more visitors.”
Typically, they do. But for July HA received 136,139 visits. SP received 115,658 visits. It was a good July for HA.
@6 The closest you’ve ever been to Newsweek is your litter box.
@7 Nah, you don’t need to hit the guy to feel good. Just keep reminding yourself he paid $850,000 for a house that sold for $360,000 six months earlier.
@8 “Easy answer the republican. He has a job.”
He doesn’t. His wife has a job. Stefan is a gigolo who lives on a woman’s earnings.
@10 HA gets more comments too.
Hello.
@14 HA gets more comments too.
More comments, sure, but does it REALLY count if it is just the same four people posting and reposting over and over?
It doesn’t matter which site is more popular. More people believed the world was flat hundreds of years ago than did believe it was round. Didn’t change the facts. The facts are that unSound Politics is on the wrong side of the issues…no matter how popular it is with inbred, Bible-thumpin, Nascar-lovin, pig-fuckin, AWOL, draft-dodging, chickenshit, asshole-chickenhawks.
Did the beer make Steve any better looking in person?
Did you not understand the room charge joke?
Only because you post all day long. And the liberal trolls over there get slapped down so quickly they usually run to their own blogs to brag about something or another.
And what’s the point of posting if the best you can do is post the same http://republicansexoffenders.com/ link over and over in every thread or project about their farm animals, pedophile and America-hating, godless, commie-fascist, treasonous dreams.
Take those 1 trick ponies off the blog and the rabbit would be posting by himself. And when you consider the rabbit posted one sentence posts at 12:45, 12:46 & 12:49 is it even fair to consider that 3 posts?
Congratulations on one good month.
Is there a difference between visits and visitors? The article cited visitors, you used visits.
When byebyegoop flip-flops between horsesass.org and horsesass.com does each “visit” count as 1 or do they add up to 50 visits.
@20 “farm animals, pedophile and America-hating, godless, commie-fascist, treasonous”
You guys are into some strange shit, that’s for certain. Speaking of which, whatever happened to that self-loathing Republican who stiffed a male prostitute at a motel somewhere and was later pulled over by the cops and was found to be wearing a dress?
When I see that picture, I am reminded of that old album cover shot “Twin Sons of Different Mothers”….
Been to sound Politics – they got nothin’ but the same warmed over republican small government, big war crap that has messed this country up. They could never explain how republicans have run up the largest deficits in US history and only Bill Clinton left office with a surplus.
I quit trying to post over there because the idiots trying to reply to me were too stupid to realize they were refuting their own arguments.
I think my IQ went down just reading the pathetic partisan blog – it can be summed up in one sentence: Republican good, Democrat bad. Kind of makes Animal Farm and the two legs/four legs look sophisticated by comparison.
that was written by clark fredrickson, who was hand picked from the bottom of the barrel of the UW daily’s horrifingly incompetent writing staff. take it all with a very fine grain of salt.
If we weren’t over taxed, how else could there be a surplus?
That fellow on the left in the picture used to make me mad. Now he just bores me silly.
It’s hardly worth getting into it over there.
