More information has leaked about the Straight Talk Express destroying America’s minivans in Miami on Wednesday, a.k.a. “The Monica Lewinsky Scandal.” What of the bus passenger asshole Joe Lieberman, was he hurt in the crash? No, but he was attacked by a biracial cake: “A little more to that Miami traffic accident yesterday involving Joe Lieberman aboard the Straight Talk Express: Turns out the impact sent a staffer’s chocolate birthday cake with thick white frosting smack into the Connecticut senator.” EAT IT UP, GRAMPY.
The black and white cake will have your ass in January, Joe:
“At the moment of impact I was sitting in a booth … right in front of counter right where the cake was. The cake went all over me. That was the end of my suit,” he said, apologizing for the lack of suit for a taping of “Political Connections” on Bay News 9. “I always wondered whether sometime a political protester would hit me with a pie in the face. I never thought a friendly birthday cake would attack me from the rear.”
My God, he is such a trollop:
“The fact is that iI have not changed. The Democratic party has changed from what it was under Bill Clinton, particularly on foreign policy, trade and economic policy,” he also talked up his environmental credentials before hopping into a McCain volunteers black Hummer and heading to the next event.
“We’re just Humming along. This campaign is Humming now,” Lieberman said, brushing off our offer to check the tire pressure”

So movie cliches happen? Next time, I’m hoping it’s a panel of glass…
He is on a Republican bus, he should feel lucky that the cake is the ONLY thing attacking him from the rear.
Next up: Nickelodeon pours a bucket of green slime on Droopy Dog’s head, cementing his legacy as Grand Dragon of Old Dorks.
Ohhhhhhhh Deeeeeeeear.
The Democratic Party changed for the better…you kept all their bad old policies…You suck.
>>I never thought a friendly birthday cake would attack me from the rear.
TAKE THAT CAKE JOE! TAKE IT HARD!
“The fact is that iI have not changed. The Democratic party has changed from what it was under Bill Clinton, particularly on foreign policy…”
Yeah, that Bill Clinton was soooo into forging documents to justify invading oil-rich countries for no reason. Those were the days.
“We’re just humming along now”
I guess we know what he was doing in that “booth” on the bus, then. Way too much info there, Joe.
So, which part of the dessert did the most damage Joe? The elitist, smug, white frosting, or the uppity, liberation-demanding, “As I Rise”, black cake? Be careful with your answer, senator…
Headlines that contain both the words “Lieberman” and “hurled” make me smile.
It is the beginning of the revenge of Karma!
4tehlulz: Yes, we’re all waiting for President Barry to make Joe Lieberton consume cake in a unique way.
Let us hope that more inanimate objects in Joe’s life rise up against him. The iron attacks his face, his golf club tee off using his testicles, a matzo ball explodes in his stomach…
I once rode a Greyhound cross country with every screaming baby and chain-smoking drunk between Baltimore and Bakersfield. And that still had to be more fun than riding the bus with Joe “blah blah blah” Lieberman. I mean it. Bad things would happen.
Your Cupcake! I eat it up!
Republican straight talk means the straight is all talk.
I never thought a friendly birthday cake would attack me from the rear.
Bob Allen offered $20 to eat the cake so he wouldn’t become a statistic.
If ever there were a campaign rife with symbollism, this is it. We’ve got everything from the Negro horse beating the bitter female horse to nothing-but-net basketball shots to toppling applesauce and crashing buses and flying biracial cake. Hell, you can even throw in the multiethnic golfer winning despite ridiculous odds. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Too bad there wasn’t a multi-cat litter box on board.
Does the fucker even speak English anymore? Is he so smug about his 400 years in office that he can tell a news station:
“I iz quite sorry, but I am the Lieberman, and I don’t has to speak you ’bout things.”
Yes, one dick diamond for Joe.
They should have cued up the “Wah wah wah wah waaaaaaaaah” sad trombone music, then Joe, bedazzled by cake, could’ve looked into the camera, made a remark about getting his “just desserts”, and then rolled credits on the sitcom the McCain campaign is turning into.

“Humming”=Hummer…
what’s next? a grand piano lands on him from a 10th floor window?
nah. couldn’t happen.
could it?
itgetter: and yet stories mentioning “Lieberman” saying “…attack me from the rear” have yet to have the proper meaning to be satisfying.
A true case study, if ever there was one, of mandatory testing of elderly drivers. First, throwing diaper bombs out onto the highway, then careening into fellow motorists, and now losing control of their mulatto cakes? I mean, get that man a Rascal, will ya?
You just know the bus driver spent the last 50 miles listening to Lieberman kvetching about how hard it is to find a real knish in Miami and complaining about his driving, screamed “I can’t take it any more,” and smashed the bus into the first handicapped van he could find.
I’m going back to practicing law and follow that bus around. Soon be better off than tax break old McCain will deliver.
If only Joe had been on the bus with that Canadian Sweeney Todd-wannabe. *Sigh*

AfghanVet: Ba-da-bing!
tsunami: And if it does happen, please let there be video.
weirdiowasculpture:
“I shouldn’t of had all that cough syrup this morning.”
“I always wondered whether sometime a political protester would hit me with a pie in the face.”
Only if the pie were made of tempered steel, Joe.
S.Luggo: Why a cake and not a bucket of sulfuric acid?
4tehlulz: In truth, he’s done it before. McCain needs something to help with the taste when he tosses Joe’s salad.
Oh, Joe. It’s always the friendly ones that “attack” from the rear.
“The Democratic party has changed from what it was under Bill Clinton, particularly on foreign policy, trade and economic policy.”
Few remember quite as well as Vinegar Joe how Bill Clinton led the Democrats to permitting 12-digit budget deficits, upper class tax cuts and preemptive war with Iraq.
Joe Lieberman: letting America decline and Americans die for Israel’s sake and loving it!
“Be careful with the apple pie”
“Uh-Oh”
“Grandpa, did you just sit on the apple pie?”
“I sure hope so”
Oh, it’s like the pie in the face that we’ve all always wanted to throw at Joe. Beautiful. Even the Straight Talk Express is telling him to “eat it.”
ms_mcgee: Alas, WALNUTS doesn’t keep a bag of dicks aboard the Straight Talk Express. Or so he says.
Maybe the next bus he gets on an insane chinese immigrant wil decapitate him.
4tehlulz: Fudgepacking indeed…
You know, this episode made me realize I dislike Joe more than many other dislikable politicians. Not even Dick Cheney makes me grit my teeth as much. I’m a bit surprised.
TGY: the self-righteousness and condescension are hard to stomach. Dick has a healthy dose of teh Smug, and he wrote the book on dismissiveness, but Joe is too much of a winp to pull that off.
Vanity Smurf: There can be no video of the Lieberman/cake incident that’s better that the video that exists in my head, which is in black and white and has 3 Stooges music playing.
McCain campaign humming along = Humming tunelessly to the imagined melodies of Guy Lombardo.
“The fact is that I have not changed. The Democratic party has changed”
That’s the lack of change we can believe in.
The good news is that when WALNUTS! becomes pres and attacks Iran and the whole thing goes shitty, Joey Hebrew will look pretty bad. The bad news is WALNUTS! is pres and we’re at war with angry Persians and Joey Hebrew is still a smiling, smug fuck.
Countdown to the cake making it onto EBay under “Buy the cake that straight-talked its way right up Lieberman’s keister”
I bid one million dollars.
I would LOVE to see some photos or video of THIS!
