JOE LIEBERMAN IS PRESIDENT OF HIMSELF

  • LIEBERMAN-REID MEETING RESULTS IN NOTHING OF ANY VALUE: Harry Reid’s detention hour with Joe Lieberman has ended with “no decisions made.” This is Reid’s standard declaration when he knows he’s about to capitulate on something. And of course, Lieberman is being an asshole now and trying to control the conversation, saying that an end to “partisanship” is one of “the standards I will use in considering the options that I have before me.” Oh fuck off and join the GOP already. Who cares about filibusters. Just leave. Leave and go get gay-married to Lindsey Graham in Connecticut. [TPM Election Central]

    YES! Change We Deliberate On

  2. keepinitrealyo says at 3:10 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Lieberman must have something on Reid. What do you think? Sexy polaroids? Code Pink membership card? Reid participated in an orgy while in college?

  3. old jew buttsecks
    ….ewww

  4. Since he doesn’t belong to one, I don’t think Joe deserves to come to the big Partisanship Party now being held on the Hill. Though I am sure he will greatly enjoy his new office in that unused janitors closet in the basement.

  5. ky-jellydonuts says at 3:12 pm, November 6th, 2008

    I think someone with a sense of humor needs to tack on a “Lieberman, too” earmark when they vote to throw Ted Stevens out.

  6. Gopherit says at 3:12 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Reid is a useless twunt. The Dems need to lose him like a Wasilla teen’s virginity.

  7. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:13 pm, November 6th, 2008

    sending Joe to the GOP side of the Senate is not punishment enough. Expel the fucking traitor.

  8. norbizness says at 3:17 pm, November 6th, 2008

    He has a short movie clip of Reid, tipsy after two Bud Lites, saying “Brigham Young was a punk-ass bitch” before vomiting and passing out.

  9. 4tehlulz says at 3:18 pm, November 6th, 2008

    I dunno; I kinda like the idea of letting Holy Joe twist in the breeze for a little while before Rahm leaves a horse’s head on Reid’s desk and makes him cut Joe loose.

  10. I hope to have a stern talk with Sarah Silverman.

  11. Hooray For Anything says at 3:18 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Man, what I wouldn’t give to see Lieberman on his knees begging Reid not to punish him, although one could say that being passed over for VP for Sarah Palin and then not only have to pretend that she’s a great pick while also being the one to tutor her could be said to be enough punishment.

    Oh, hell– release the hounds.

  12. SayItWithWookies says at 3:18 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Give ‘em purgatory, Harry.

  13. Maybe Harry Reid is the one who should be ousted as majority leader? For Christ’s sake, just kneecap Lieberman already, ya fucking pussy!

  14. Rosco P Coltrane says at 3:20 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Well, there goes his virginity.

  15. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 3:21 pm, November 6th, 2008

    At the rate Obama’s appointing Jews to everything, Loserman’s prolly gonna be Secretary of Some Shit in about 15 minutes…

  16. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:22 pm, November 6th, 2008

    I love Harry, but good lord, does that man ever need to grow a pair.

  17. Oddly, Lieberman has the longest hair in the Senate.

  18. KilgoreTrout_XL says at 3:23 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Ha ha. “Harry Reid” sounds like a porn name, and Lieberman’s jowls are completely disgusting.

    So, there was a meeting? Cool.

  19. PoliTacky says at 3:25 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Joe Lieberman: “Those are the standards I will use in considering the options that I have before me.”

    Unfortunately, nobody heard this quote directly, except for Barney and numerous other dogs within a 1/2 mile radius of the press conference, as the register of Lieberman’s voice was too high-pitched for human ears to discern after having his testicles kicked up into the back of his cranium.

  20. SayItWithWookies says at 3:27 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Oh, speaking of dicks who aren’t getting their just desserts, our old friend Eliot Spitzer isn’t being charged in his take-your-prostitute-to-work scandal.

  21. Charlie Tuna says at 3:27 pm, November 6th, 2008

    If you can’t set Turncoat Joe straight two days after the tsunami hit, when can you.

    WTF!?!

    He votes for himself and that just happens to coincide, occasionally, with the Democratic party.

    He must pay!!!!!!!

  22. Sassette says at 3:30 pm, November 6th, 2008

    But we don’t want him here in Connecticut either!

  23. JadedDIssonance says at 3:31 pm, November 6th, 2008

    What the quote misses are Joe’s teary sniffles between prepositions.

  24. Sussemilch says at 3:33 pm, November 6th, 2008

    ot: please please please Patrick Fitzgerald for A.G.

  25. Palin-Plumber2012 says at 3:33 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Lieberman needs to lose his virginity and relax already.

  26. sanantonerose says at 3:34 pm, November 6th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: Yeah, what’s up with Reid? He was a boxer AND he was gambling commish in Las Vegas ferchrissakes. Maybe he’s just tired.

  27. natteringnaybob says at 3:36 pm, November 6th, 2008

    I say force feed him bacon until he explodes.

  28. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! For the sake of all that’s good and holy, just GO, YOU SANCTIMONIOUS, FAKE-PIOUS, SELF-RIGHTEOUS TWIT. Become a Republican, become a Libertarian, become a freaking Naderite pagan vegan I don’t care just SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

    AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    Ahem. I feel slightly better. Carry on.

  29. SayItWithWookies says at 3:38 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Sussemilch: Oh, that would be awesome. If Joe Scarborough though Emmanuel was a big “fuck you” to the Republicans, Fitzgerald would be like peeing in the punchbowl.

  30. StrangelyBrown says at 3:41 pm, November 6th, 2008

    I actually think Obama should appoint Lieberman as Homeland Security Secretary. No, I’m serious. Three good reasons: 1) it looks like a nice gesture to the losing side after the election; 2) Lieberman might be pretty good at it; and 3) it gets him the fuck out of the Senate and clears the way for a real Democrat in his place. Plus DHS is one of those positions that looks a whole lot more important than it actually is, so it’s the perfect place to leave old Vinegar Joe to ferment a while.

  31. Itsjustme says at 3:41 pm, November 6th, 2008

    “no decisions made.” So Liebermann’s still an asshole.

  32. InsidiousTuna says at 3:47 pm, November 6th, 2008

    StrangelyBrown: Fuck that, I work for DHS. We don’t want him either.

  33. chascates says at 3:48 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Here’s a couple of places to sign up for a ‘Get the Joe Out’ message to Reid:

  34. lampadadog says at 3:49 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Joe won’t be able to stray too far from the rest of the pack. He needs to get his what fors and comeuppances, quick now. Laughable that he tries to speak as if from a position of power.

  35. Itsjustme says at 3:50 pm, November 6th, 2008

    InsidiousTuna: Everyone has their price to pay. I am in Texas, lookey at the gift we get in 75 days!

  36. kimbongil says at 3:51 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Fuck that, I live in CT. we dont want him either

  37. chascates says at 3:53 pm, November 6th, 2008

    How about making Joe ambassador to Iran?

  38. War Eagle says at 3:55 pm, November 6th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: The idea of Fitzgerald as A.G.? Heh-Heh-Heh Now that would be something.

  39. Giant Robot says at 4:00 pm, November 6th, 2008

    PoliTacky: Speaking of Barney… just saw the video of him biting the reporter. Barney either has a terrible doggie hangover or he’s completely lost the will to live. Either way, he obviously doesn’t want to be touched.

  40. OffTheRecord says at 4:03 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Sussemilch: He passes the hottie test so I vote yes.

  41. 4tehlulz says at 4:04 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Patrick Fitzgerald as AG would make my day. David Iglasias has to be his deputy though; he knows who will try to fuck him over.

  42. We could lock him in the Straight Talk Express, wherever it is.

  43. Robot: I like to think that the dog’s behavior reflects the owner’s suppressed urges, BUT, Scotties are the assholiest dogs in the world, so it’s hard to say.

  44. Jukesgrrl says at 4:10 pm, November 6th, 2008

    chascates: No snark here, just thanks. I signed both, even though I’ve already written repeatedly to Harry Reid.

  45. yellowdogdem says at 4:13 pm, November 6th, 2008

    monty: Let’s leave the “Jew” part out, ok? We haven’t turned into wingnuts, you know.

  46. yellowdogdem says at 4:17 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Lieberman’s voice is even more annoying than his arrogance. That droning sound could drive me to suicide. I want him to go away to the Great Land of the Blowhards where he’ll have to spend his days listening to Limbaugh and O’Reilly.

  47. BaxterJones says at 4:19 pm, November 6th, 2008
  48. PoliTacky says at 4:25 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Giant Robot: That dog sure is good at sniffing out the liberal media…

  49. DangerousLiberal says at 4:34 pm, November 6th, 2008

    dano: Harry Reid–D, NV, and total pussy. Why haven’t they drawn, quartered, and roasted Joe L on a spit yet? For fuck’s sake, what does a senator have to do to get thrown out of the U.S. senate, or at least out of their own punk-ass party caucus. Christ jesus! I hate Lieberman more than Bush and Cheney put together, because at least they were straight up about their venality. Not like Joe the Punk. Damn!

  50. druranium says at 4:37 pm, November 6th, 2008

    lieberman and reid both displease me. Take them away! 2009 is the era of democrats with balls.

  51. Giant Robot says at 4:42 pm, November 6th, 2008

    nurple: To take it a step further, I think Barney actually hosts Bush’s soul whenever Cheney needs to take over the president’s body for awhile. It’s a tight fit but at least Bush gets to pass the time licking balls.

  52. InsidiousTuna says at 4:54 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Itsjustme: I live in Waco, 30 minutes from Crawford. I’m just completely fucked.

  53. glamourdammerung says at 5:19 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Harry Reid either needs to get some balls or get another position that does not involve leadership in the Senate. We do not need this nonsense.

  54. DangerousLiberal says at 5:50 pm, November 6th, 2008

    glamourdammerung: Really, Harry. Sack up, now, or go back to Nevada and score the $3.99 breakfast buffet at Harrah’s in Reno with the rest of the dried up oldster crowd. Maybe Nancy Pelosi can pop in and you can plan a truly colossal clusterfuck.

  55. showmeonthedoll says at 6:08 pm, November 6th, 2008

    Reid is such a gutless chump.
    It isn’t two days after the election and the democrats have already disgusted me.

    4tehlulz: I dunno; I kinda like the idea of letting Holy Joe twist in the breeze for a little while before Rahm leaves a horse’s head on Reid’s desk and makes him cut Joe loose.

    If only.

  56. Accordion-o-rama says at 6:40 pm, November 6th, 2008

    One result, Joe was assigned new office space:

  57. That fucker is looking older and older with each passing second - I’m sure he’ll soon be dead.

  58. Subchairman of the Kosher & Halal Hot Dog Inspection Triple Subcommittee. That would be a good post for him.
