Sweet Jeebus Do I Hate Joe Lieberman
Dear Joe Lieberman,
You are the biggest loser in the history of loserdom. You are a bigger loser than Kevin Federline. You are a bigger loser than the entire Italian Army. You are a bigger loser than the goddamned LA Clippers.
“Pointing out that Bush sucks only divides the nation!”
Sen. Joe Lieberman, the only Democrat to endorse President Bush’s new plan for Iraq, has quietly backed away from his pre-election demands that the White House turn over potentially embarrassing documents relating to its handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans.
Lieberman’s reversal underscores the new role that he is seeking to play in the Senate as the leading apostle of bipartisanship, especially on national-security issues. On Wednesday night, Bush conspicuously cited Lieberman’s advice as being the inspiration for creating a new “bipartisan working group� on Capitol Hill that he said will “help us come together across party lines to win the war on terror.�
But the decision by Lieberman, the new chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, to back away from the committee’s Katrina probe is already dismaying public-interest groups and others who hoped the Democratic victory in November would lead to more aggressive investigations of one of the White House’s most spectacular foul-ups.
Absolutely not. Pointing out that the Bush administration is disastrously and dangerously inept at governing is a sure sign of (OOOOOGA-BOOGA-BOOGA!) partisanship. And we all know how much Joe Lieberman (and Ann Althouse, and the Ole Perfesser and other noted moderates) simply deplores partisanship. Loser.

You’re right, Woundwort–I can’t compete with that.
But Joe Lieberman can.

That needs to be Barbara Boxer in charge of securing those documents… Joe Lieberman would probably offer to do the shredding/hard drive scrubbing…

Game set and match to the discovery of Randy Constan.
It’s apt, too. Both he and Joe are in deep, deep denial about just how preciously special they are.

Victory is mine? Woo-hoo!
What do I win? I hope it isn’t this CD.
Randy does have something in common with Joe and his BFF George. None of them want to grow up.

I swear we did everything we could to get rid of him. Joe Lieberman is apparently the electoral equivalent of herpes. The gift that keeps on giving.

General, you win a self-paid vacation to assume command of a Elite L.A.R.P. Commando Team
Congrats!

Why is this fucknut still heading a Committee? Sorry, you lost the election for Democrat, Joe. You don’t just keep your committee seats because you managed to bribe enough Connecticut voters.

Who is Lieberman’s counterpart in the House, regarding Katrina investigations? And is that person prepared to pick up his slack?

That photo is smug, orange and ‘orrible. Makes him look like the last baked bean on a plate.
Perfect photo, in fact.

Is there any way he can be recalled by Connecticut voters? Can the new anti-Lieberman head of the Connecticut for Lieberman party do something?

Hi, my parents house got destroyed in Katrina. Many of my friends and relatives lost all of their worldly possessions in Katrina. I also know a few people who died. One do to the slow response from the government.
Following Lieberman’s 2006 campaign it was clear that he had no problem with race baiting. In this latest move it is clear that he has no problem with racism and ethnic cleansing. Why has no one pointed this out?

Who is Lieberman’s counterpart in the House, regarding Katrina investigations?
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson
(D-MS)
As to picking up the slack, let’s hope so.

Hey! lay off the Clippers! They made the play-offs last year and the Lackers didn’t.
Sure they stink again this year…

Joe is still bragging on his web site about all he’s done for Katrina victims, though. Perhaps a few emails condemning his hypocrisy are in order?

Lieberman’s a bigger loser than his BFF Dubya, even. At least the C-Plus Augustus will go to the top of the list of Worst Presidents Ever. The list of Bootlicking Congressional Toadies Who Sold Out Their Constituents is so tediously long that Lieberman won’t even rate an asterisk in the history books. He won’t rank as thesis material at a fourth-rate EDoc mill — in Connecticut.

Ach, that picture! I have such a visceral reaction to it. Couldn’t place who it reminded me of, exactly, I just knew I wanted to slap that face. At first I thought it was this guy, but that wasn’t quite right. Maybe him? Nah. Or this? Nope. Finally I realized there just is no substitute.

Yeah, a contemporary NBA metaphor would be “bigger loser than the goddamned New York Knickerbockers.” (Though the Clippers have fallen off this season. Stupid Dunleavy.)

If Joe is such a loser, I guess Gore must not be the sharpest tool in the shed for picking him as his side kick. Maybe global warming was beginning to affect Gore’s brain.

You know, I’d be proud to have the multitudes squat and ‘do their business’ in me, as long as Joe Lieberman was at the bottom of the pit

Joe’s a Democrat? Did he switch parties again after he didn’t get elected as one? I’m so confused.

Unfortunately, Lie berman seems to have Dems over a bit of a barrel–if they had pulled his committee chair, I’m sure he would have had no problem whatsoever in switching officially to being a Republican, thus throwing the Senate into a 50-50 tie, giving Cheney the tie-breaking vote and committee chairs to the Republicans. I’m sure that would be worth the committee chair of Joementum’s choice to the Repubs. If the Dems pick up 2 or more Senate seats in ‘08, then we can tell him what to do to himself, and the Rs have 21 seats to defend, whereas the Dems have but 12. If the Ds can hold onto everything they currently have, like in ‘06 (not likely, I admit, but still…). So, ‘09 could be sweet. We’re rid of Dumbya, and Lie berman is rendered… meaningless.

“Jesus said, “Love your enemies.â€?”
But it wouldn’t be as fun if we did that, now would it?
Also, Christian, nice effort, but Woundwort still holds the title…

Joementum ain’t gonna switch parties. He’s gotta stay a Dem so he can run with St. John in ‘08 on a happy-happy-joy-joy bipartisan ticket. IMHO.
