I'll just offer the requisite apology to everyone on behalf of CT voters...we're really really sorry about what we did in 2006.

The only way to remove the blood shame is to vote him out in a landslide next time around, and beg Lamont for forgiveness :P

A) I thought Cheney only went out at night, and I thought you could only see him out of the corner of your eyes.

B) His press office confirmed something? Aren't we still unsure if he has an office or if he actually exists? Since when does the VP office actually answer questions about Cheney? Isn't their job to answer with more questions?

They answered this question because they knew that the answer would drive Democrats crazy.

These days, that's all they have.

C) Is it possible that Lieberman actually died (was murdered by Cheney) years ago and Dick Cheney has actually been running around in Lieberman's skin talking all this crazy nonsense? I think we are on to something, Cheney mysteriously slips in, and only a sickly looking Lieberman shuffles out. Where did Cheney go? HE'S INSIDE LIEBERMAN!!

Genius...

Unless Cheney had bariatric surgery, I don't think it would work.

...more questions like "So?"

He is vetting Joe for his job like he did for McBush in 2000. Only dick knows how to land a dick for the VP slot!

Cool, then the GOP will have two anamatronic figures to bore the country to death with this fall.

Seriously. Two old, and old looking white guys on the ticket. That's an image that's going to pack a punch.

Veep Cheney Hangs Out At Joe Lieberman's Office

dog bites man.

dog bites man.

Dog bites rat.

I imagine the conversation will go something like this: " Joeohhhhhhhhh, I am your faaathaaa..."

I have always thought of Joe as being more like the Senator Palpatine than Luke. He is definitely walks on the dark side. Remember there are only two Sith lords at any given time.

He's just as chinless and effete as Palpatine.

Maybe Lieberman actually will be Vice-President.

In 2000 it was only about the title. But by now, this Benedict Arnold has accumulated quite a record of vice for the job.

this is an argument to choose rendell as his veep. traitor joe's head will likely explode if someone else is the first jewish VP, let alone pres. do it, O!

user-pic

for obama to choose rendell, of course. it also will be fun to see holy joe tacitly argue that obama is bad for the jews in such a case as well.

Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb bomb Iran.

The one thing Cheney-Lieberman-McCain have in common is their desire to bomb the a--ah out of Iran.

Now isn't that just special. Since Lieberman is essentially just a double agent for the dark side, you'd think Cheney would be a little more inconspicuous when meeting with him.

I hope that Leiberman has been kept out of the loop regarding sensitive Democratic materials and strategies. Who needs another Watergate when you can just use Lieb, eh?

A few months ago, it was reported that Lieberman would probably speak at the Republican National Convention. If that happens, he should just convert his party affiliation for "I" to "R" and call it done.

That just makes me totally sick. Dick Cheney - sweetcream crunchy Jesus!

Lieberman just makes me sick.

Could be that Lieberman and the GOP are choreographing his final defection to the Republican caucus (of course, he's been there in spirit for a couple of decades). Big press conference, somber mood, an air of tragedy in Lieberman's remarks about hopw he can no longer bear to see the Democratic Party make common cause with radical Islamists and Black militants.

You get the idea.

I expect it will happen before the Republican convention; that way Lieberman can be this year's Zell Miller (God help us).

The funny thing is, there'll no doubt be a chorus of Republican voices in the MSM pretending that a Lieberman defection represents a shocking and momentous turn of events, when anyone with more than a first-grade education saw it coming ten years ago.

That's why I'd rather kick his ass out now. Give the voters the chance to give us back the Senate, rather than campaign as the incumbent Congressional party too.

Second.

The Democratic Party is not collectively bound by some Tammy Wynette Rule. If Senator Lieberman wants to fool around with another Party's man, we should all feel just fine about kicking his ass to the curb.

good. then the GOP will have a majority in the senate leading up to nov. and we can knock of the majority leader in his reelection bid. say goodnight, mitch. 60-39-1?

Rumor has it Loserman was blowing Cheney in an effort to secure a job with Halliburton after November 2008...when Joe's influence will be greatly diminished after the dems pick up 6 new senate seats, 25 congressional seats, and the White House. Poor Joe will be a man without an island.

Dick said "thank's for the blow-job....but we don't employ traitors at Halliburton."

Poooor Joe!

I want to be the first Democrat to tell Joe to F*CK off in November! Woo Hoo!

Wait. How could he have been blowing Cheney, isn't Joe keeping Kosher?

with friends like holy joe...

Ah give those kids a break....http://www.tagg-theangrygayguy.com

I think the good people of CT need to start a recall petition so that a new senate election can be held.

Cheney is resigning and negotiating with Liberman to be VP

I hate that Joe Lieberman keeps making the news.

I am marking the days until he is Irrelevant. There will carousing and merriment galore!

To CTVoter:

I don't blame you.

Snark aside, does anyone have any real idea what might be going on here?

Could be nothing: "Hey, Joe, let's get the wife and kids together for a little BBQ this weekend?"

Could be: "Hey Joe, we got some big plans for the middle east before November, and we kinda need you to caucus with the Republicans and create major distractions while we set everything up. You game?"

Or: "Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?"

Since I see several of these ideas floated whenever Lieberman's status is discussed, I wish people would understand a few basic facts:

1. Lieberman's joining the Republicans would not result in a change of control of the Senate this year.
2. Lieberman cannot be removed from the Chair of the Government Operations Committee this year. These 2 are because they were both contained in the organizing resolution for the 110th Congress, and any motion to undo it would be subject to a filibuster.
3. Lieberman can, and should, be expelled from the Democratic caucus, effective immediately. Doing so would have no effect on his Chairmanship, nor on the Democrats' status as the Majority Party or Harry Reid's status as Majority Leader.
4. United States Senators are not subject to recall in any state. By the terms of the Constitution and the 17th Amendment they are elected by the people to a six-year term, and states have no power to shorten or terminate that term.

The "Go Fuck Yourself" coalition.

Birds of a feather...

And the smell of sulfur hung in the air for hours afterward.

Lieberman knows exactly who his sugar-daddy is of course, no confusion there.

If people don't like you, the only other way to get election money is through corporate funding for coporate votes.

Dems voters don't line up to give Lieberman anything, Repugs voters don't line up either - that leaves Leiberman's good daddy-o Mr. Dick as the only life line. Money grubbing criminal handouts is the ONLY thing Lieber's got left in whole wide world, otherwises it's the private sector and God knows Lieberman doesn't want to work that hard.
