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.
Wrong animal. Rats jump off sinking ships, not on them. Let me suggest: rabid lemming.
Funny I thought the scary rat balloon was Joe Lieberman at first.
Prepare to be tased, bro.
The person screaming in mock-terror at the rat really makes the picture. Bravo!
That’s not Joe-mentum we can believe in!
The republicans will be ready with a giant inflatable piece of cheese I bet.
I could actually get behind this. Where can I donate to this cause?
I though Snuffy Joe-Mentum looked more like this:

I guess the rat balloon was easier than a scaled-up writhing maggot?
Scab!
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?
ManchuCandidate: Joe’s looking quite tanned, rested and ready to suck Republican dick.
Aw that’s adorable. Ever since ‘Ratatouille’ I just want to cuddle them.
I’m sorry, what was his point again?
This will change the world.
Oh, and the Dump Joe site is made with the same finesse as the old people at hcsfjm.com
Ed Anderson is aware of possible required permits.
I would go for a giant inflatable rat with its head caught in a trap.
Delicious: And like the real thing, that Joe Lieberman has no Genitals.
Darehead: I’ll grant that he’s a Horse’s Ass.
Great Pic, Great Tags, and Great good luck with that pal…
Is there some way to give it a whiny, insistent voice?
Where is the Dread Pirate Roberts to vanquish this rodent of unusual size?
…I guess they don’t make giant MAGGOT balloons?
A giant balloon of Hans Moleman would be funnier.
DieOnTheTurnpike: I don’t think they exist.
masterdebater: 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.
Since I can’t get it out of my brain, I’ll say THIS may be more representative of Joe:

benj-thewrathofgod: agreed.
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.

Everybody will also get the idea if you just press two pink balloons together.
A drifter: or this

The rat might be scared by Joe Lieberman.
are large inflatable logs of feces not available?
The rats are invading!!
I, for one, welcome our new giant rat overlords. LONG LIVE EMPEROR SQUEEKY!!!!!!
Come to think of it, Old Sour Joe does look a lot like Pinky in those old Pinky and the Brain cartoons.
Zort!
