God I hate that little toad!

Connecticut apologizes to the rest of the country for Joe.

The Republicans are doing an excellent job of picking up the attack lines used by Clinton.

Sadly enough.

I stopped, and two beheld I show great haste Of spirit, in their faces, to be with me; But the burden and the narrow way delayed them.

When they came up, long with an eye askance
They scanned me without uttering a word.
Then to each other turned, and said together:

"He by the action of his throat seems living;
And if they dead are, by what privilege
Go they uncovered by the heavy stole?"

Then said to me: "Tuscan, who to the college
Of miserable hypocrites art come,
Do not disdain to tell us who thou art."

And I to them: "Born was I, and grew up
In the great town on the fair river of Arno,
And with the body am I've always had.

But who are ye, in whom there trickles down
Along your cheeks such grief as I behold?
And what pain is upon you, that so sparkles?"

And one replied to me: "These orange cloaks
Are made of lead so heavy, that the weights
Cause in this way their balances to creak.

This kind of stuff hurts McCain...

he can't criticize Obama for playing "politics as usual", and then turn around and do the same thing!

...Why is Lieberman still caucusing with the Democrats? Seriously. I get it: the Dems want to continue to hold the illusion that they have a majority in the Senate. But it's total and complete BS. I'm sorry, but if Harry Reid had any balls, Lieberman would have shut the hell up long ago.

What a jackass.

I watched Recount the other night, and deeply regret that the dipshit's name was on a yardsign in my front yard 8 years ago.

He doesn't need to go to a synagogue that espouses racist ideas. Just look at his comments on the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians and Muslims, to realize that he is, himself, racist.

I hope that one day in Heaven, Tim Russert gets to moderate a full hour with Benedict Arnold and Joe Lieberman. I'd love seeing them compare notes.

Purely partisan. His little ole integrity bus is running on six flats. Senator Palpateen he is alright, even to those creepy hands!

I can't get over this guy. He's all power, all the time with him. He reminds me of Lord Gro in the Worm Ourabouros story. Compulsive turncoat!

He sounds just like Nixon. And Nixon was an anti-semite. How embarrassing for lil Joe. Pathetic.

Amen to all said there . . . especially a recall vote. Needs to happen.

The thing that I find most galling about Lieberman is how easy it would be for him to show his support by just being positive about McCain and his policies, and graciously not commenting on Obama.

I can't wait for this guy to be dropped faster than a radioactive bag of crap after the election.

Does Lieberman still enjoy seniority from the Democratic majority? If so, why isn't Reid doing something about this?

Group bonding, Theda, group bonding.

Chickens coming home to roost... and I hope they shit all over Lieberman's head.

The "Wright" card is also the race card. It is the refuge of scoundrels who reveal their true sentiments. This is why there is such a distinct difference in responses when you ask white folks and black folks if a certain person is "racist" or "is a racist." These are the little games the Liebermans and Lotts and Imuses (and yes, sad to say) a certain two-term, Democratic, former President with an office in Harlem play.

Lieberman is not a Democrat any longer, and is danger of losing his credentials as a human being.

This guy is as crazy as John McCain, here he is talking about Rev. Wright and he's speaking at Rev. Hagee church, a guy who said that GOD send Hilter to kill the Jews in WWII and send them home, and not a peep from the Jewish community, WHY?

Working assumption: McCain has promised Lieberman some cozy, crazy position in his cabinet, like Sec. Def or State. That solves Lieberman's Senate problem (he'll quit before Harry Reid can fire him), and wouldn't you know, the governor of Connecticut is a Republican who will probably have the right to replace him with an interim R senator.

I'm still a little stunned that Nutmeggers could have been duped so well by Lieberman.

It's high time this self-serving schlub was grabbed by the belt and forcefully removed from the Dem caucus, preferably with stairs involved.

What a steaming heap of dung. I hope he retires to Israel just in time for the Coward-in-Chief's final push for end times.

great fun!

That's entirely possible, but Lieberman has been working toward this for quite awhile now. I have always thought that he was motivated by spite.

I think he's that petty.

After his (to me, at least) highly unsatisfactory behavior on the FISA/domestic spying issue, I have grown some unwholesome suspicions about who Barack Obama really is.

Although it has become clear that he is not the man I thought he was and that all that "change you can believe in" hooey was just to entice naive liberals (me among them) into voting for him in the primaries and pouring money into his campaign. Although Senator Obama will never see another cent from me, I do believe he is less lethal than John McCain. I still hope he wins the election--not least because then the contemptible Joe Lieberman will finally, FINALLY get his comeuppance.

Keep diggin', Joe.

How about your synagogue, which segregates men from women and allows only 10 men to begin services, Joe?

What a hypocrite!

I suppose there is a hidden dilemma here.

To what degree is criticism of Lieberman, prompted not so much by the specific incident, but by an inherent bias against the man himself, that flares quickly when given the excuse?

My own belief is that Lieberman has earned himself the avalanche of abuse that has come down on him, because he purports to act on principles of justice and integrity that transcends partisan boundaries.

Yet he transparently and facially is partisan! He is adept with framing statements in such a way as to achieve partisan ends.

Note his recent comments about officials oaths to protect the people. Well, that oath he refers to says nothing about protecting the people, it refers to supporting and defending the Constitution. But because of this subtle framing his auditors are left with the impression that public safety trumps the Constitution in the Executive branch. It doesn't. Lieberman was consciously guilty of using a rhetorical device to skew people's perceptions of the constitutional obligations of public officials.

That is reprehensible. And shameful.

For Dem leadership in Congress to sit there and let this man stay on his committees is absurd. Maybe they want everyone to continuously see how ridiculous Lieberman looks so it reflects badly on John McCain. But damn...

I'd like to strap him to a missile and shoot him right over to Haifa.

When is someone in the media start calling Lieberman what he really is and that is an agent of a foreign power, namely Israel?
And if more people were aware of the history of slavery in this nation -I suggest for a start Douglas Blackmon's 'Slavery by another name'- they'd understand Wright's words -taken out of context- a WHOLE lot better.

Do you think they ever say anything about Arabs at Joe Lieberman's synagogue? He continues to go to it, so if they do, we can be certain that he agrees with it.

Off-topic: Your mental health break of the evening.

XXL interviewing DMX

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

Is that why you’re not following it?
No, because it’s just—it doesn’t matter. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. It doesn’t really make a difference. These are the last years.

But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.
I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that shit a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done fucked this shit up then give it to the Black people, “Here you take it. Take my mess.”

Right, exactly.
It’s all a fuckin’ setup. It’s all a setup. All fuckin’ bullshit. All bullshit. I don’t give a fuck about none of that.

I am terribly upset with Obama's stance on FISA and immunity and have adjusted our family donation schedule to reflect no more $$$ for him IF he actually does vote FOR the bill as it stands.

That said, I so can't stand this little Joey boy, you know the little man who keeps looking for approval. His continued attacks on the Democratic Party and their candidates is not merely shocking, but it stinks beyond any cheese my mother ever forced me to eat.

I just wonder if anything will ever mean enough to get the Democrat's to grow a pair...

In fairness we don't know if [Lieberman] said these inflammatory, anti-American, racial comments every Sunday...
but we should "take him at his word and move on"
withOUT his lying backstabbing ass in our party.
enough is enough, joe has GOT to go!
(cue more hand-wringing from Harry Reid)

If he takes Obama at his word, then why even bring it up two months later after the issue has died?

Leiberman is playing the shill for McCain. It's the only conclusion we can draw from this weird proclamation. The only reason to bring this up is to try to stir up the emotions that were running above normal temperature two months ago. But it's too late...the issue is dead (for now).

Sorry to tell you this Joe, but the last time a Jew resurrected the dead was 2000+ years ago, and to be honest, you really don't compare to that particular Jew.

I think Lieberman could be used as a liability to McCain if the Democrats played it right. Even the most conservative republicans here in Texas are turning against McCain because they do not want another war. War with Iran is not optional to them, and Lieberman could be painted as Israel's point man and an influence on McCain to go into Iran. It's time somebody did a youtube of Lieberman's alliance to Israel over America, and him whispering in McCain's ear. We need to take the fight against Lieberman viral, since the Democrats in the Senate can't take any action against him yet.

Lieberman really does seem like McSame's very own 'wormtongue' though, doesn't he? i imagine if i were a conservative republican it would seem even more so!
i think in the final analysis that Lieberman will be about as useful to McCain as he has been to the Democrats in recent years.

Shorter Lieberman: I'm willing to put the months-old controversy I just reminded you of behind me.

Mr. Lieberman has persistently placed the interests of the neo-apartheid Israeli state ahead of the interests of Americans. As such he fits the classic definition of traitor to his country and supporter of racism abroad. Any surprise he imports it?

There is just something about Lieberman that is the fingernail drug across a blackboard, the car alarm that won't turn off . . . the traitor in our midst. Wouldn't you like to see a poll of CT voters now? Do they still love him?

But look at it this way: every time Lieberman whispers sweet nothings in McCain's ear, McCain's stock goes down a little more. In fact, the DNC should run ads of McCain and Lieberman holding hands and smiling those silly-assed grins. A picture is worth a thousand words!

CT should have stuck with Weicker in '88. By now, he would have switched parties and the state would be represented by two real Democrats.

Nagh. The FBI all want to do it too. The thing that keeps them from actually following through while they drive around in the dark blue Fords all looking like Efraim Zembalist Jr., is the money they'd have to spend out of their own pockets at the car wash trying to get that smell of chickenshit off their tires.

You know the part I liked? It was when Lieberman said it was time to MoveOn.

That was so subtly chickenshit I was afraid he'd turn around and start pecking the white greasy part like he was in a Connecticut barnyard.
