Joe Lieberman Threatened With Scary Rat Balloon

by Sara K. Smith  

Cuddle him ...An angry Connecticut Democrat says that he will rent a very large floating rat and display it outside the XCel Energy Center in St. Paul if Joe Lieberman decides to attend the Republican National Convention, which he hasn’t been invited to. This angry guy, Ed Anderson, says he is “ready to apply for permits” and everything, which is tantamount to imminent violence.

Anderson helped start the Web site DumpJoe.com, so he has apparently not liked Joe Lieberman for quite some time — just like the rest of America. This gentleman will now rent a rat like the unions use to shame picket-line crossers, and when Joe Lieberman goes to the Republican convention he will look up in the sky and say, “Oh look, they made a parade for me.”

The rat has the same ears as Lieberman.

Noodle Salad July 30, 2008 at 11:41 am

Wrong animal. Rats jump off sinking ships, not on them. Let me suggest: rabid lemming.

VTBen July 30, 2008 at 11:44 am

Funny I thought the scary rat balloon was Joe Lieberman at first.

BoreExpert July 30, 2008 at 11:45 am

Prepare to be tased, bro.

MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend July 30, 2008 at 11:45 am

The person screaming in mock-terror at the rat really makes the picture. Bravo!

ColdCupofHope July 30, 2008 at 11:46 am

That’s not Joe-mentum we can believe in!

masterdebater July 30, 2008 at 11:46 am

The republicans will be ready with a giant inflatable piece of cheese I bet.

The Real JR Revisted July 30, 2008 at 11:48 am

I could actually get behind this. Where can I donate to this cause?

ManchuCandidate July 30, 2008 at 11:49 am

I though Snuffy Joe-Mentum looked more like this:

I guess the rat balloon was easier than a scaled-up writhing maggot?

magic titty July 30, 2008 at 11:52 am

Scab!

WhatTheHeck July 30, 2008 at 11:52 am

In Chinese lunar-calendar tradition, rats are one of the good guys.
I suggest angry guy, Ed, try something truly repugnant such as a Karl Rove inflatable.
Wait, Karl Rove is already an inflatable turdblossom.

Born in 1942, Lieberman is a Horse in the Chinese Zodiac. This explanation comes from Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_%28zodiac%29#Traditional_Horse_Attributes.2FAssociations

Horses should beware of the Rat, as any relationship with this sign is said to be extremely trying for the horse. Of all relationships between Chinese zodiac signs, a relationship between a rat and a horse is said to be the worst. The rat may just be too calculating, dictatorial and possessive for the free-spirited and independent horse. A relationship with a rat can potentially break down the horse’s free-spirit and cause rage in the rat – as neither will be willing to yield to the other. Rats and Horses will attract each other like no other. Male Horses, especially, will find the female Rat irresistible, though they always bring out the worst in each other.</i?

[re=47644]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Joe’s looking quite tanned, rested and ready to suck Republican dick.

Scarab July 30, 2008 at 11:53 am

Aw that’s adorable. Ever since ‘Ratatouille’ I just want to cuddle them.
I’m sorry, what was his point again?

columnv July 30, 2008 at 11:53 am

This will change the world.

columnv July 30, 2008 at 11:53 am

Oh, and the Dump Joe site is made with the same finesse as the old people at hcsfjm.com

mookworthjwilson July 30, 2008 at 11:54 am

Ed Anderson is aware of possible required permits.

sanantonerose July 30, 2008 at 11:54 am

I would go for a giant inflatable rat with its head caught in a trap.

mookworthjwilson July 30, 2008 at 11:55 am

[re=47650]Delicious[/re]: And like the real thing, that Joe Lieberman has no Genitals.

4tehlulz July 30, 2008 at 11:55 am

[re=47649]Darehead[/re]: I’ll grant that he’s a Horse’s Ass.

freakishlystrong July 30, 2008 at 11:56 am

Great Pic, Great Tags, and Great good luck with that pal…

SayItWithWookies July 30, 2008 at 11:57 am

Is there some way to give it a whiny, insistent voice?

DieOnTheTurnpike July 30, 2008 at 11:58 am

Where is the Dread Pirate Roberts to vanquish this rodent of unusual size?

AngryBlakGuy July 30, 2008 at 12:00 pm

…I guess they don’t make giant MAGGOT balloons?

benj-thewrathofgod July 30, 2008 at 12:02 pm

A giant balloon of Hans Moleman would be funnier.

sanantonerose July 30, 2008 at 12:02 pm

[re=47665]DieOnTheTurnpike[/re]: I don’t think they exist.

FalconerHK July 30, 2008 at 12:02 pm

[re=47641]masterdebater[/re]: No, a giant inflatable anus in which to stick the giant inflatable rat. Oh, and the giant inflatable anus will be part of giant inflatable Richard Simmons.

El Bombastico July 30, 2008 at 12:04 pm

Since I can’t get it out of my brain, I’ll say THIS may be more representative of Joe:

columnv July 30, 2008 at 12:04 pm

[re=47669]benj-thewrathofgod[/re]: agreed.

Larry McAwful July 30, 2008 at 12:05 pm

This won’t faze Joe Lieberman at all. He’s used to working with fake animals. Remember when he used to play the dad on “Alf”? This’ll just be stepping back into his role. No skin off his cold, wet nose.

A drifter July 30, 2008 at 12:07 pm

<a href=”http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c48/LithiumCola/?action=view&current=alfj.jpg” Joe Lieberman at home with his family.

WadISay July 30, 2008 at 12:08 pm

Everybody will also get the idea if you just press two pink balloons together.

A drifter July 30, 2008 at 12:13 pm

[re=47677]A drifter[/re]: or this
Joe Lieberman at home with his family.

TGY July 30, 2008 at 12:24 pm

The rat might be scared by Joe Lieberman.

choom gangster July 30, 2008 at 1:19 pm

are large inflatable logs of feces not available?

BadNewsJack July 30, 2008 at 1:28 pm

The rats are invading!!
I, for one, welcome our new giant rat overlords. LONG LIVE EMPEROR SQUEEKY!!!!!!

Iggy Plop July 30, 2008 at 1:36 pm

Come to think of it, Old Sour Joe does look a lot like Pinky in those old Pinky and the Brain cartoons.

LittlePig July 30, 2008 at 3:46 pm

Zort!
