Obama Bullies Stupid Joe Lieberman On Senate Floor

The worst U.S. Senator, “Grampa” Joe Lieberman, has been needling (overtly mocking) Obama a little bit too much recently, it seems, leading to this fantastic confrontation today: “Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation.” Obama’s stance was “intimidating,” according to the reporter, who is most likely a white person. Look at how Obama really stuck it to that frumpy fuck: “Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.” Then some Irish cops arrested Obama and put him on death row for attempted murder, without a hearing.

    Just when I thought I couldn’t love Barry any more.

  2. Dave J. says at 4:29 pm, June 4th, 2008

    And Harriet Christian just had a heart attack, as this confirms everything she believes. She then recovered and settled down to a nice dinner with her 93 cats and told them all about “the blacks.”

  3. El Bombastico says at 4:29 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Crown Heights!! Crown Heights!! Never forget!

  4. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 4:31 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I’m sure Hadassah has already cleaned Joe’s kosher underpants.

  5. guerilla-nation says at 4:32 pm, June 4th, 2008

    the last legislator that was intimidated by a black man offered $20 to suck his dick (see bob allen).

    any word on whether lieberman tried to buy a ticket on the vein train?

  6. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:32 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Dave J.: Are any of her cats black? It would fit her profile.

  7. grobby22 says at 4:32 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Barry to Joey,”I will kick your suburban white ass”!

  8. daneellaw says at 4:32 pm, June 4th, 2008

    You would think that after Obama pledged support for Joe’s people in Israel, he’d show a little more deference.

  9. eatsshootsleaves says at 4:33 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Well, obviously. Even secret Muslims don’t like the Jews. Someone alert Fox, quick!

  10. daneellaw says at 4:33 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Must be a Muslim/Jewish thing.

  11. obfuscator says at 4:33 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I hope this is just a preview of Barry in general election mode.

  12. V572625694 says at 4:33 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Putting Vinegar Joe’s back to the wall ought to be enough to make Barry preznet by universal acclimation, right now!

  13. Dave J. says at 4:34 pm, June 4th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: Yes, and she yells at them for constantly napping and not being industrious mousers like her other (Irish) cats.

  14. tunamelt says at 4:35 pm, June 4th, 2008

    “Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand”

    Lucky Lieberman.

  15. Spence says at 4:35 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Somewhere, a WASP angel just got it’s wings.

  16. Doglessliberal says at 4:35 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I bet he was trying to get Joe to go smoke crack with him in an alley.

  17. nyhfrog says at 4:35 pm, June 4th, 2008

    “Joe, this is the Senate, motherfucker, and I’m about to do a Julius Caesar on your ass! If I ain’t got a lean and hungry look, I don’t know who does.”

    …that’s how they talk trash in Congress…or so I’ve heard.

  18. Condiments-OnlyDiet says at 4:36 pm, June 4th, 2008

    El Bombastico: You read my freaking mind!

  19. Now if he could just promise, as president, to THUMP JOE LIEBERMAN EVERY DAY. Sheesh, whatta shvants that Lieberman guy is.

  20. scotterl says at 4:37 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Just letting him know not to worry about that chairmanship and where the minority caucus will be holding their meetings next year.

  21. norbziness says at 4:37 pm, June 4th, 2008

    From Miller’s Crossing:

    Mayor/Lieberman: But there’s a way we do things, hallowed by usage and consecrated by time! When we put people on the pad, when Leo was running things, we–

    Johnny Caspar/Obama: (furious) Leo ain’t running things! I ain’t innarested in ancient history! I’m running things now!

    Mayor: Johnny, no one appreciates that more than I! I can give them jobs! I can give them good jobs! I can even give them jobs where they won’t have to perform any work, where their lack of English will be no impediment! But I cant–

    Caspar: What is this, the high hat?!

  22. blogfather says at 4:37 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Obama’s pimp is is strong!

  23. William Tecumseh Sherman says at 4:38 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I hate to make the obvious joke, but did they mention that Obama’s stance was also “wide”?

  24. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 4:38 pm, June 4th, 2008

    If Obama send a few bucks his way, OJ could drop by Joe’s place. All black people know each other, right?

  25. articulate moran says at 4:38 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Joe: It’s nothing personal, just politics is all.
    Obama: It’s not going to be personal when they find my foot up your ass.

    Does anyone know how to tell your mother you’re in love with a black man? Sweetladyirony?

  26. SayItWithWookies says at 4:38 pm, June 4th, 2008

    “When I buy a bitch a pastrami and swiss on rye, that bitch better eat his pastrami and swiss on rye, you hear?”

  27. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:39 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: He smoked crack with Hoe Lieberskank months ago, I think he was saying “give me my mothafuckin’ money, whitey!”

  28. blogfather says at 4:39 pm, June 4th, 2008

    *pimp hand. Damnit I’m retarded today. first comment of the day and it was supposed to be funny, now it’s just fuct!

  29. ForTheTurnstiles says at 4:39 pm, June 4th, 2008

    The best part: Obama “led him by the hand.” Come hither, little one. I will show you how we play a game called Fuck With Me and Find Out.

  30. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 4:41 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Obama’s stance was “intimidating,” according to the reporter.

    This is actually what it’s like riding in an elevator with Angry Blak Guy.

  31. Dave J. says at 4:42 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Someone run over to Daily Kos and check to see how they’re mopping up all the blogspooge.

  32. tunamelt says at 4:42 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: That’s only true of Hawaiians. All Hawaiians know each other. So maybe he could get the Rock to “visit” him.

  33. Not_So_Much says at 4:45 pm, June 4th, 2008

    V572625694: Would have been even more effective if he had put Joe’s “front” to the wall and made him his bitch.

  34. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:46 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I wonder what went down at AIPAC.

    Barry is the MAN.

  35. eatsshootsleaves says at 4:46 pm, June 4th, 2008

    guerilla-nation: God, can you imagine a McCain/Lieberman ticket? I’m already getting drowsy at the thought of it. Plus, their combined age would probably equal Abraham’s, which might win the Jewish vote but that’s about it.

  36. bitchincamaro says at 4:47 pm, June 4th, 2008
  37. ManchuCandidate says at 4:47 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Well the south side of chicago
    Is the baddest part of town
    And if you go down there
    You better just beware
    Of a man named Barry O…

  38. Doglessliberal says at 4:47 pm, June 4th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: when he is Pres, Michelle will do his collections.

  39. The Real JR Revisted says at 4:47 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I just pictured the reenactment as if it was done by a Denzel Washington character, complete with the devilish toothy smile.

  40. sayitwithfigs says at 4:47 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Liebz: Just not in the face, Ok? Just not in the face.

  41. ronaldpagan says at 4:48 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Yay!!!! Go Obama go! I hope he ended the conversation by grabbing his crotch and screaming “SUCK IT”, just as I would do if I ever confronted Joe Lieberman.

  42. StupidGeek says at 4:49 pm, June 4th, 2008

    What I wouldn’t give to have Barry back me up against a wall and try to dominate me…

  43. heathenish says at 4:50 pm, June 4th, 2008

    are there pictures? video?

  44. Dave J. says at 4:50 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Joewn3d!

  45. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:51 pm, June 4th, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves: (blank)/Lieberman…. most boring ticket ever…. why does that sound familiar?

  46. jagorev says at 4:51 pm, June 4th, 2008

    The negro spoke up to an older white man? Well, if this doesn’t prove that he is a radical liberal commie extremist, nothing will.

  47. RacerMex says at 4:52 pm, June 4th, 2008

    A little less JFK… More LBJ

    Give him the treatment, Barry!

  48. Senhor Tambor says at 4:52 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Lieberman. Yutz.

  49. Domestic Goddess says at 4:53 pm, June 4th, 2008

    oh i get it. if you challenge obama, he takes you by the hand.
    i’m tot becoming a mccain fan.

  50. Mabalz Eshari says at 4:53 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Obama was giving Joe a little refresher course in Middle East history. He just had to press him up against the wailing wall for a second and remind him that it was the Prophet Muhammad who rode a white horse named Al-BURAQ to Jerusalem.

  51. Sussemilch says at 4:53 pm, June 4th, 2008

    He was just offering Lieberman the irrefusable honor of being Ambassador to Darfur for four years.

  52. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:54 pm, June 4th, 2008

    So this is the sort of world we live in. All of you making fun of an old white man being accosted by a young black hooligan. If you are not safe on the floor of the Senate from these people, where are you safe?

  53. blogfather says at 4:54 pm, June 4th, 2008

    So by Hillary’s standards, In 8 years, does it mean Michelle will be ready to lead the nation from day one?

  54. Tits_LaRue says at 4:56 pm, June 4th, 2008

    That’s right, Liebertard: Obama’s hooked up with the Black Mafia™, The White Mafia™, The Muslim Underground®, The Hoe’s Voting For Bro’s Brigade™ and The Happy Sparkles Unicorn Rainbow Army©… He’s working on securing the Gay Velvet Mafia®, The Actual Real Italian Mafia™©®, The Silver Foxes and The Black Panthers, too, so back the fuck off!

  55. NoWireHangers says at 4:56 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Then Joe pulled off his mask to reveal that he was really Hillary Clinton all along.

  56. ronaldpagan says at 4:59 pm, June 4th, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves: Hopefully that fuck isn’t gonna get the Jewish vote after publicly fellating Hagee.

  57. AngryBlakGuy says at 5:00 pm, June 4th, 2008

    BARRY: “…BITCH Where’s my money!!!”

  58. rockstarjoe says at 5:00 pm, June 4th, 2008

    It used to be called “The Treatment”, but now I think it should be called “The Business”.

  59. ReelectTilden says at 5:01 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Robert Byrd promptly offered to lynch Obama, but when he realized he was being uppity to a Jew, all was forgiven.

  60. Dave J. says at 5:01 pm, June 4th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: God does not love me enough to bless us with a McCain/Lieberman ticket. That would be simply off the charts on the unintentional hilarity rankings.

  61. eatsshootsleaves says at 5:05 pm, June 4th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: As a chosen person myself, I can say with some expertise that the only Jews that won’t vote for Obama are ladies over the age of fifty, who are basically all Harriet Christian. But all of my aunts loathe Obama with a fiery passion for beating out Hillary Clinton, who, like all senators from New York, is an honorary Jew in their eyes.

  62. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:05 pm, June 4th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Ha ! I beat the black guy to that comment. How often does that happen?

  63. bitchincamaro says at 5:07 pm, June 4th, 2008

    heathenish:
    read previous posts, peeps.

  64. Mediahohoho says at 5:07 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Seriously, though, have you ever tried to house train a Sharpee?

  65. eatsshootsleaves says at 5:11 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Dave J.: But McCain/Romney would be even better, because of all the hilariously clueless racism they’d be sure to commit.

    Anyway, everyone knows it’s going to be McCain/Crist.

  66. chidem says at 5:11 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I’d bend over for the big O.

  67. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:13 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Second take:

    Maybe Joe is Barack’s dealer. That would explain why he was so agitated. “Dude, you got to hook me up!”

    Just remember “The Jew is using the black as muscle against you. And you are left there helpless. Well, what are you going to do about it, whitey? Just sit there? Of course not. You, are going to join with us. An organisation of decent, law abiding white folk. Just like you.”

  68. Fred Wertham Jr. says at 5:17 pm, June 4th, 2008

    How long does it take to say “fuck you”? Divide three minutes by that amount of time and that’s how many times Barry said “fuck you” to Holy Joe.

  69. Churchill says at 5:23 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I hope Barry kicks his worthless butt! They should STRIP Liarman of his Senator Committee Chairmanships. RESPECT MUST BE PAID!

  70. Churchill says at 5:24 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I wonder when Barry will legalize Ganja, for medical purposes, of course, cought cough!

  71. obfuscator says at 5:25 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I’m picturing the scene in ‘Airplane!’ where “Roger” grabs the little kid and gives him the what-for about the NBA playoffs.

  72. Churchill says at 5:27 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Hey Lionel Hutz, maybe you are right, Grandpa Joe is the best connection in DC, that explains why AlGore chose him. It must be that, what else could it be, Grandpa Joe was an idiot eight years ago, and still is, just moreso!

  73. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:30 pm, June 4th, 2008

    obfuscator:

    “You try dragging your ass up and down this country with Hillary….”

  74. obfuscator says at 5:41 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.:

    Billy: “My uncle John says you don’t have any experience, and that you want to be boyfriends with terrorists, and that you never really try until the playoffs.”

  75. AxmxZ says at 5:50 pm, June 4th, 2008

    In Chicago, this is called “Hey Joe, come over here a minute.”

    OBambi no more.

  76. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:55 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I think Joey must have experienced a deja vu flashback moment when he a young lad & was always getting his lunch money stolen at school & the recipient of many fine wedgies. Ouch…

  77. AxmxZ says at 5:58 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Except this time around, it was all the lunch money he’s been nicking taken back away from him, in the middle of the playground, with everyone watching. To smirks and scattered applause from onlookers.

  78. JSDC007 says at 6:00 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Obama, President of the world: So Keebler cookie elf, what’s the secret to those great cookies? My elitist non-cookie baking wife wants to know.
    Joe, the Keebler elf: Make me King of the Elves and I’ll tell you.
    Obama, President of the world: Done!

  79. Slutty_Chola_Cobbler says at 6:00 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: Crack is whack!!

  80. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 6:05 pm, June 4th, 2008

    This is how he reaches out jews? So much for that AIPAC speech.

    On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know of an attic that is habitable for a four to eight year stretch.

  81. btwbfdimho says at 6:08 pm, June 4th, 2008

    In the “Obama, the Movie”, Woody Allen should play JLie during those historic three minutes.

  82. 1ofUS says at 6:18 pm, June 4th, 2008

    blogfather: Izzy is emphatically pimpernuckled

  83. 1ofUS says at 6:19 pm, June 4th, 2008

    The lion Obama should lie down with the Lieberman lamb and stroke his naso labial folds. That ought to fix it.

  84. apocalypsethen says at 6:27 pm, June 4th, 2008

    you mess with the unicorn, you get the horn.

  85. Cicada says at 6:30 pm, June 4th, 2008

    1ofUS: I wonder if he has to clean those wrinkles out, like you do for Shar-pei dogs? Does Lieberman get what a veterinarian friend of mine calls “Wrink Stink”? It would be oddly fitting, since he looks and talks like Droopy.

  86. metropolitan says at 6:33 pm, June 4th, 2008

    damn, obama’s really going against the republican standard bearer!

  87. Harvey Birdman says at 6:34 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Knock ‘em out the box, ba-Rick!

  88. Mr. Herpes says at 6:44 pm, June 4th, 2008

    We should all make a circle like the good ol’ days and scream ” Fight! Fight! A black and a white! C’mon, baby, nail that……oh, it’s Lieberman…yeah, nail that white!”

  89. donner_froh says at 9:12 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Does this mean Joe is out of the running for the VP slot?

  90. sweetladyirony says at 9:14 pm, June 4th, 2008

    articulate moran: Start by sending subtle hints, like wearing t-shirts with their face emblazoned across the chest.

  91. drunkenredinjun says at 9:56 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Obama’s lucky Joe be missin’ his posse of Bill Kristol and Richard Perle at the time. You grab Joe’s hand when Perle’s around, you get KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT.

  92. wallythepug says at 10:04 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Hope this relieves all those naysayers who thought Hopey was a pushover. FIrst he whupped the Clinton machine (both of them) and now he lets Holy Joe that his backstabbing is not appreciated
    My favorite part of the exchange is when he looks up at the press and gives them his million watt smile.
    How can we arrange for a “meeting” with Limbaugh/Hannity/O’Reilly?

  93. RobPetrified says at 10:19 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Apparently Obama was practicing being Presidential.
    When he becomes POTUS, he can go meet with Prince Saud, and instead of
    walking hand in hand through the garden of a thousand blow jobs together like Bush II did,
    he can use forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, and literally back up the towelheaded
    prince against the wall, lean in very close at times, and appear to try to dominate
    the conversation, as the two talk over each other in a few instances.
    Wouldn’t that be a massive improvement in US-Saudi relartions!

  94. drunkenredinjun says at 11:00 pm, June 4th, 2008

    or Doug (the hammer) Feith. Yea, I doubledogdick dare Hopey to push Lieberman around when Feith’s there. I didn’t think so tough guy.

  95. AxmxZ says at 2:08 am, June 5th, 2008

    RobPetrified: I dunno - after the hand-holding with Dubya, the prince might think Barack is proposing.

  96. 1ofUS says at 2:43 am, June 5th, 2008

    drunkenredinjun: or Ricky (snuffy) Perle. That badass jew’ll shrink your head and drown it in a tub.

  97. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:35 am, June 5th, 2008

    As a child (not a native) of Connecticot (oops) there is a chance that the Mad River will circumvent it’s godDams, thereby creating an unstoppable force of water that will destroy the Danbury Mall and obliterate the incest in Fairfield. Godspeed, Connecticut.

  98. drunkenredinjun says at 3:56 am, June 5th, 2008

    1ofUS:Snuffy would shrink your head while he’s enjoyin’the herring. and there’s not one fucking thing you could do about it. If snuffy comes to deliver you a pizza, we hope you’re right with the Lord.

  99. drunkenredinjun says at 8:56 am, June 5th, 2008

    I cold turkey huffin’ paint and chuggin’ Robitusson and Liebermilch still sounds like Clutch Cargo.

  100. Mumble Softly says at 12:37 pm, June 5th, 2008

    I resent the Muslim on Jew violance that this example personifies. Based on my reliable sources, I believe that the Jewish people have already disavowed Joe “Droopy” Lieberman in favor of a less offensive spokesperson.

  101. problemwithcaring says at 4:27 pm, June 5th, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): That is all they understand…

  102. schvitzatura says at 10:21 pm, June 5th, 2008

    Waiting for Joedas to take up the 30 Shekels of Tyre dropped on the floor by his GOP paymasters…

  103. ronaldpagan says at 12:19 am, June 6th, 2008

    …But did Obama get shot 50 times?

  104. KurtTGS says at 6:22 pm, June 6th, 2008

    “Billy: “My uncle John says you don’t have any experience, and that you want to be boyfriends with terrorists, and that you never really try until the playoffs.”

    Classic!

    Great reference to the greatest movie of all time.
