- ENOUGH OF THIS CLOWN: “Joe Lieberman returned to Capitol Hill today — his first day back since speaking at the GOP convention — and was greeted by the resignation of his $120,000-a-year legislative director Joe Goffman.” He probably just got a job offer to do, well, anything else. [The Crypt]
Maybe Joe will get the hint after his wife replaces Joe with Hopey.
What would Mr. Goffman have to plan for an “independent” Senator that colleagues like as much as a case of crabs.
take that, facefart
So he was greeted as a liberator?
like rats from a sinking ship
hahahahaha! Take that turd Joe!
The better offer was from Wal-Mart. Not that they need a legislative director or anything.
I would imagine that any job would be an improvement over working for Senator Droopy Dog.
Dear Joe,
In your new upcoming role as ranking member of the Shut the F*** Up and Get Back to Polishing my Gavel committee, suspect you will not be requiring a legislative director.
Joe
wallythepug: I wonder how much Palin’s legislative director makes. And what is a legislative director? How do I get one? Does Joe pay for it out of his own pocket, or does every Senator get one? These are the questions that would keep me up at night, except that online porn already keeps me up at night.
I think its obvious what’s going on here…
Thats right. Anti-semitism!
Goffman, I hear there’s some lady from Alaska who may be needing like 7,000 advisors soon. Stick around. (Consider changing your name to Johnson or Robinson or Reagan or something more American or Christian-like, though.)
Hooray, Joe Goffman. You are my hero today
SayItWithWookies: well done.
I just know the arabs are behind this.
If only Al Gore did not invent the intraneets - Joey would be our VP now.
Maybe Mr. Goffman can catch a gig with Kkkarl Rove, he might need some
help getting that October Surprise up and running.
It is September, ya know…..
professor.cj: Or just go with Christ.
Chump change I can believe in.
Totally off topic, but Rachel Maddow is making me feel really good. Even if she is Fox “News” for hopeys, I’m watching nothing else from now til November.
AnnieGetYourFun: From Roll Call:
“Legislative Director, Senior Legislative Assistant, or Legislative Coordinator:
The Legislative Director is usually the staff person who monitors the legislative schedule and makes recommendations regarding the pros and cons of particular issues. In some congressional offices there are several Legislative Assistants and responsibilities are assigned to staff with particular expertise in specific areas. For example, depending on the responsibilities and interests of the member, an office may include a different Legislative Assistant for health issues, environmental matters, taxes, etc.”
And that is a six figure salary in Washington, DC. Personal assistant on congressional issues.
Took long enough.
He gave no reason for his departure — but indicated he has no firm future plans.
Well, Goffman, if your Senator gets his way you might spend some time planning your military career in Iran.
How much did his political life & the prospect of his future political life suck to have quit a six-figure income job with no new job to go to?
Texan Bulldoggette: Who needs another job when you probably have certifiably authentic photos, phone transcripts, and a book deal in the works?
Tail-gunner Joe is just beginning to see the results of his little tet-a-tet with the forces of darkness.
I expect that several of his key staffers will be finding better opportunities in the near future.. like rats off of a sinking ship….
Sonic Former Youth: I concur. Her show is intelligent, well paced, and low key. I feel like a glass of wine each night at 9 with MSNBC on the tube might just undo all the worry of a day watching the campaign.
At first, I thought,”Is Joe a clown?” Then I realized, clowns thing they’re amusing, but they’re really deeply creepy.
Good call.
if someone - from either side of the bench - didn’t smack him hard -there is really no need to report on Ho LiarCon
He got sick of that voice.
irisheyes: I’m wondering if Pat Buchanan ever saw the “It’s Pat” segment on Saturday Night Live….
Where’s the Joe-mentum now, asshat???
After a Barry win & the senate Dems pick up a few seats, I wonder if the GOP will be so friendly towards Joey.
5th from bottom of class NOT smart
5 colleges in 6 years for journo BA NOT smart
Harvard on scholarship - Prez of Harvard Law Review = SMART
STOP STOP STOP calling Klowns Smart!!!!!
Joe Goffman: “…and I’ve been pissing in your coffee for a year and a half. Ciao!”
Joe Liebercunt swims in his own fecal drool, and that’s the good part. The bad part’s too bad to tell.
Looks like Joe Lieberman’s staff levels are sinking lower than his cheeks.
Goffermann: Will work for perks.
Jingo: Are you saying Lieberman’s staff is drooping, or perhaps flaccid?
Maybe Goffman had a breakdown/epiphany ala “Jerry McGuire” and stole Traitor Joe’s goldfish too.
kellygrrrl: Yeah, check out my blog. I look at the academic history the candidates….
azw88.blogspot.com
He has quite the “sit on my face ” look (for a jew).
Kind of like getting off the Titanic two years after it sank.
Joe Goffman = Liberal pussy
Get a job with your friends in the terrorist Eco-Taliban, Mister “Global-Warming Hysteria” Goffman. Why do hate our [McCain/Palin's] petroleum America so much?

Since 1992, [Joe] Goffman had been a senior attorney at Environmental Defense (formerly known as the Environmental Defense Fund), where, in addition to managing the climate and air quality program, he specialized in the use of market-based mechanisms to address a wide range of air pollution problems. As associate counsel to the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the U.S. Senate in 1989 and 1990, he was chiefly responsible, working with former Senator George Mitchell and Senator Max Baucus, for the development and drafting of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, which established the acid rain trading system.
Rush: You know, I just remembered that during the recount battle of 2000, GOP operatives mocked the Democratic ticket as “Sore Loserman.” Joe just sucked up to a bunch of jerks that called him “Loserman.” What an asshole.
PoliTacky: win.
The GOP might have a use for you right now Joe, but neither side will respect you ever again after the cumrag bullshit you’ve pulled.
This has nothing to do with Judaism and everything to do with douchiness. He’s from Connecticut, what else would you expect from that lame as shit state? Conn. has the greatest gap between rich and poor and probably the douchiest people on earth. Think of crossing Montgomery Burns with a Yankees fan and you get the general idea of the average person from Connecticut.
Subject: The Real Truth About Barack Obama!
As enthusiastic volunteers in the Barack Obama campaign for the Presidency, we have put together a list of facts about Barack so that you will know the truth about him.

Did you know that Obama worked with Republican Senator Tom Coburn to pass one of the strongest government transparency bills since the freedom of information act?

Lieberperson has discovered that “Bi” is better.
“Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when George squeezed me tight
She ao nearly broke my spine”
WestEdEd: Did YOU know that you are boring the piss out of me???
This is what I get for going away for a few days…
WestEdEd: Listen kid, no offense, I know that you have been assigned to this blog. Very good, very organized. I’m sure now that the Wonketteteers now armed with the facts, we’ll viral market this message around the world about 18 times for you.
But we’re professional cynics here (except for me. I am maintaining my amateur status if by chance a Cynical Olympics ever becomes reality). We like funny, we like sardonic, we like the low blows. Especially the low blows (Yes, Senator Craig, I am talking to you).
So, please repackage your sincere screed. Punch it up with some basic scatology, some well placed bon mots and some interesting curse word combos. We will love you for it. If you can’t, well send it over to MoveOn.org. They love your kind of stuff over there.
Did you know that Barack Obama once almost punched Salt and Vinegar Joe Lieberman right in his pouty droopy face on the senate floor? Because Joe was pretty much begging for it with his aisle-hopping and dick-sucking all over on the GOP side? But Barack Obama did NOT beat him senseless because Barack Obama is a kind-hearted peaceful type guy, and only ended up working a half-nelson on him while using some strong language. And on the way home that day some school kids gave Joe a wedgie, the end!
WestEdEd: Thx for your post, but looky here:

Did you know that Barack Obama was opposed to the war on crack from day one?
“I know that even a successful war against crack will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.
