Who's ready to lead America?

I'd say the guy who doesn't make childish ads like this one.

you know, i dont think i care if i hear another WORD of what Holy Joe has to say.

the guy is just another republican hack to me. he's made himself completely irrelevent by toeing john mccain's line. maybe if every once in awhile he sided with the dems, i'd be more interested in what he was up to.

but now, he's just like lindsay graham. he's always always always going to parrot the gop's talking points.

we shouldn't be surprised anymore. we should just ignore him.

I usually hold back, but now it's too obvious:

Lieberman, what a douchebag!

Joe's right...the ad confirmed it...Obama is the one ready to lead the nation.

If this is the kind of ad McCain endorses, then we really have to question his judgement.

Relax and enjoy like this?
"Texas Candidate's Comment About Rape Causes a Furor"

RELAX AND ENJOY IT? Isn't that what Republicans suggest you do, when you've been raped?

Umm...this is a little too close to

“Bad weather is like rape. As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

for my taste.

I'm sorry, but that's the FIRST thought that came to mind after reading that.

BTW, that "joke" tumbled out of the mouth of one Clayton Williams, and of course, he is a McSame supporter. They clearly have a lot in common.

But yeah--the hypocrisy of "Holy Joe" is stunning. I guess he left his morality protector badge with Shrub after his slobbing him down a few years ago.

Isn't this the punchline to the joke that cost McCain supporter what's his name made (I actually met the dude once and cant think of his name, the guy Ann Richards beat for Gov. in Texas)....

Cost him the election...

Not sure if someone else already pointed this out...

(As you can see I'm ding three things at once)

Lieberman is, frankly, shameless.

He promised in the 2006 Senate election to help get a Democrat into the White House, and then he endorsed McCain.

And he doesn't even have the guts to declare himself a Republican and run as one in CT.

Roll on 2012.

Britney....just saw an article today saying that she's no longer of much interest to the paperazzi. No longer an A list celebrity for them. Just too "old" in terms of celebrities. Like McCain is too old.
Furthermore, Spears and Hilton: blonds, rich heiresses with unlimited bank accounts and big credit card charges...hmm. Remind you of anyone close to McCain?

The ad features two "sexually available" (as the euphemism apparently goes) blond women in an ad with Obama, and now Lieberman says to relax and enjoy it -- the rape line?? This is about the most outrageously sexist and racist BS garbage to show up in the campaign so far.

It will be interesting to see how the media handles this. And whether the people who were up in arms about sexism against Clinton will respond to this.

This is really gutter politics, and Lieberman ought to be thrown under the bus by McCain, pronto. This is not even on the same scale with calling Hillary a "monster" or many of the other errors that have led to the departure of campaign surrogates and aides.

Interesting that, just last month, McCain had to cancel a meeting with Clayton Williams because he made the same rape joke years ago.

I'm sure Lieberman will get a pass, but man...

Obama has tumbled in the Gallup tracking poll from 49 to 45% in just a few days, and it's probably all because of this spate of negative advertising. The point of the Britney and Paris ad isn't just to caricature Obama as a vacuous celebrity; it's to insinuate that he is less than a real or complete man. We're back to James Carvell and his notorious remark that if Hillary gave Obama one of her balls, then they would both have two. The Obama campaign can't sit idly by while the McCain camp continues to feed these juicy scraps to the media dogs that greedily snatch them up. I'm thinking now of Olympia Dukakis speaking to her aged father-in-law in the movie Moonstruck: "Old man, if you give that dog any more of my food, I'm going to kick you until your dead." It's time to starting kicking the lying old fuck.

From The Page: McCain "Proud" of Celebrity Ad

“All I can say is we’re proud of that commercial…. These campaigns are tough. But I’m proud of the campaign we’ve run.“

Um, one answer on the race card story is the Huffington Post.

Hey, Josh. Do you ever come this way?

Tell Obama to get it going, will you?
Tell him to start fightingt back hard and with much more creativity. Sitting around with what seems to be doomed acquiescence won't cut it.

Britney said we should believe the President and do what he says without question, so she's more likely to be a Republican.

i was wondering where ol' "rape gurney joe" wandered off to ...

an attention ho like joe is never too far away!

Jeez. That's cringe inducing.

Lieberman should "just relax and enjoy" his now limited time as a United States Senator.

WHAT

AN

ASSHOLE

please, god, give us 60 seats in the Senate so we can give this douche the bum's rush.

Bobby Knight may have repeated the rape joke in public setting. It is an old joke. John McCain's fundraiser friend (now disowned by the campaign) also told the joke. John McCain told his own (repeated) rape joke about a woman who was raped by an ape that had escaped from the zoo. McCain is not smart enough to come up with his own jokes. He wasn't smart enough to fly planes real well either. he crashed several due to his reckless mavericky style.

Why don't you go over and suck up to the KoolAide drinkers at republicanoperative.com

Who would have guessed? And at his age! Joe Lieberman is turned on by Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Aside from that, Lieberman is beginning to make McCain sound young(ish).

Every woman knows what 'relax and enjoy it' refers to. Lieberman is a pig.

'Just relax and enjoy it'?? WEIRDO.

Speaking of ads, here is the story and Rove-McCain's other ad regarding the Landstuhl hospital visit:

"What the McCain campaign doesn’t want people to know, according to one GOP strategist I spoke with over the weekend, is that they had an ad script ready to go if Obama had visited the wounded troops saying that Obama was...wait for it...using wounded troops as campaign props. So, no matter which way Obama turned, McCain had an Obama bashing ad ready to launch. I guess that’s political hardball. But another word for it is the one word that most politicians are loathe to use about their opponents—a lie.What the McCain campaign doesn’t want people to know, according to one GOP strategist I spoke with over the weekend, is that they had an ad script ready to go if Obama had visited the wounded troops saying that Obama was...wait for it...using wounded troops as campaign props.

Hadassah Lieberman must be so ashamed!

So we have two woman whose fame comes to large extent from millions viewing their vaginas on the internet and Lieberman uses the expression "relax and enjoy it"? Such a choice of words from someone who wears his religious piety on his sleeve.

Lieberman has gone round the bend. I don't know what his problem is, but it doesn't matter much. He'll serve out his term. He'll say ridiculous things because that's the only way he knows to get attention anymore. He'll increasingly vote with Republicans. And then he'll be gone. A footnote in history. In 20 years when we ask who was Gore's running mate, most of us will rack our brains and perhaps still not come up with it.

Krusher, Joe Lieberman has been in NY Metro area politics to know this line is explosive. He used it anyway.

The press did not challenge Lieberman, so here goes.

Tex Antoine was a weatherman for WABC-TV7 (pre-disney ownership, same property) in 'the late 70's.' Even I remember the newscast that got him fired. He was a very popular weatherman at the time.

This from Everything2.com.... http://everything2.com/e2node/Tex%2520Antoine

"His weather spot came up just after a report of a violent rape case. Tex thereupon said about the last story, ``Confucius says, `If rape be inevitable, just lie back and enjoy it.' '' This so-called joke got him first suspended, and then fired. Supposedly some said he was a little drunk at the time. The incident was a major news story at the time"

So Lieverman was actually remixing Tex Antoine's rape 'joke.'

Does anyone from the media understand how serious an ethics violation Lieberman made just yet.

Has anyone asked Hadassah (his wife) how she feels about her husband joking about rape? I think we need her on the record about this. I take it very seriously. but no one in the media has the brains to do the same.

um, like maybe that woman who "plasters on the make up like a trollop, you see you next tuesday" who happens to be his second mrs.?

"Relax and enjoy it?"

Is he talking about the campaign ad or the rape of the working class by the GOP?

Puerile, adolescent scum, all of them. And this suckup is like the maladjusted creep who feels compelled to ass-kiss the class miscreants in the schoolyard, so as to guard against getting beaten up.

In case anyone hasn't mentioned it above, is there a recall underway yet?

Good Lord Joe,
You really are an asshole !
