May I be the first to say, Joe, go fuck yourself.

When can we strip this clown of his committee assignments?

One caveat: Lieberman's statement was made mostly before the "small town" flap broke out.

LIEberman is another AIPAC hack and THUG...GOOD RIDDANCE

Is there any doubt now that the Democratic goal in 2008 should be not a veto-proof majority, but a Lieberman-proof majority? A couple more seats, and we can kick this clown out of the caucus and let him join his buddies on the other side of the aisle. I bet Connecticut voters are having a serious case of buyer's remorse right now.

I wonder if Greg and Eric are taking bets on how many times the f bomb is dropped on this post.

My question is a serious one.

What does it mean to the Democrats between now and November if they were to essentially kick him out of caucusing with them? I understand that control of the Senate would fall to the Republicans, but what does that mean on a practical level between now and November? Would this be harmful, or because this is a general election year, is the damage minimal?

Or is is better to wait until November when the Dems pick up a number of seats and can just toss him aside then?

Anyone have any thoughts?

It's kind of fun watching the jerk go down in flames. The Repugs really know how to stoke the ego of these decrepit, angry, fear-mongering, lying old men...

Dear Joe,

Get your myrtle the turtle ass up on that podium and inspire them with your dynamic personality and eloquently inspirational speaking style.

Your JoeMentum will carry the day.

Connecticut voters suck. You are a turd. Please flush yourself and leave the seat up so GWB can jump in behind you.

All the best,

IDAK

well, it's funny to see how all of you dumb bunnies salivate over Lieberman, a by-and-large sensible and decent guy with a pretty honorable record. and it is really funny to recall how you DBs were squawking that he had no right to run as an independent blahblahblah and how pretty boy Lamont (of the House of Morgan) was gonna whip Lieberman's ass blahblahblah. Eh, the guy's a Senator in the US (of the KKK of A!) Senate, he counds for a lot more than you fools.

Oh, and Obama is still a member of a club with an ignorant fruitcake leader.

man, just we needed around here - another Republican troll.

Ok, enlighten me again....WHY did Gore pick him as VP??? He might have been better off asking Cheney.

In a lot of ways, this is the question of the 20th century, along with "who really won that election?"

Don't know that I could stomach The Return of Zell.

"Ah want Buuu-uush!!"

I may blow chunks now just recalling the venal swine.

Well, let's not forget Obama campaigned for this jerk. I knew at the time -- like many here -- that Lieberman would us Dems under the bus because of the results of the primary.

Honestly, I'd rather have a 50/50 split, with the thugs in charge of the Senate than have Lieberman in a chairmanship. But in fairness, if I were a Senator, I'd want control of the body....

I think its safe to say this is Lieberman's last term in the Senate, I seriously doubt he could run and win again.

There will be dancing in the Democratic Party streets when Harry Reid takes that Committee chair from Lieberman after this next election, but if Reid allows him to continue, there will be lynch mobs in those streets instead.

You got that.

I guess the only question is whether or not Zell and Joe both contracted their brain-damage-inducing tertiary syphilis from the same source.

first off, the Bill determining the Senate Majority is NON-REVERSIBLE, so joezoe tortureman CAN'T return control of the Senate to the repuglitards

the Democrats will stay in the majority until 2009, no matter what joezoe does

and my second point ???

joezoe tortureman is politically DEAD, let him join the repuglitard party. nobody in that political abattoir will notice the smell anyway

let joezoe hang with all the other political "DEAD MEAT"

So will the Repubs bring out all those "Sore-Loserman" signs at the GOP convention?

What a jerk he is.

A committee ouster now? Don't think so.

If Reid announced such an ouster now then the Lie would just make a grandstand event of getting up and walking to the other side of the aisle while the GOP, as usual, exploited the resulting uproar to the max. Crossing over would be an act of political suicide, of course, but that is the destiny of the Lie no matter what... and he knows it.

And while Reid has screwed up massively on all too many issues... have you thought about exactly how much more damage the GOP could do to our country using a Senate majority as they face their inevitable final swirl down the toilet?

No... for better or worse Reid will keep up the charade for the sake of the Lie's ego... for now.

free patriot informed me that:

first off, the Bill determining the Senate Majority is NON-REVERSIBLE

Ohhhh... I'd thought otherwise.

... so what were we waiting for again?

I may have a slight medical problem. I SEE Joe Lieberman, but I THINK "douchebag".

Gosh. Who could have seen THIS coming?

Fow now, the best thing to do is to ignore the senile old fart. After the Dems pick up 3 or 4 or 5 seats in November, THEN it will be time to start lobbying the Senate caucus to strip him of his committee seats.

Please go to the convention with McNut and stay with him. don't even think about it twice and do not look back, vinegar Joe.
