Joe Lieberman Is Most Hated U.S. Senator Ever

America's Turd.Vinegar Joe Lieberman is the first actual clump of feces to serve in the U.S. Senate, but it seems Connecticut voters are no longer charmed by this historical oddity. Lieberman now boasts the “highest disapproval rating in any Quinnipiac University poll in any state for a sitting U.S. senator — except for New Jersey’s Robert Torricelli, just before he resigned in 2002.”

A third of the fools who voted for him in 2006 now say they wish they’d voted for pretty much any other person or thing. You Connecticut people are a bit slow, aren’t you?

Even more shocking, a full 38% of idiots in that state still “approve” of his performance as John McCain’s hilarious opening act on the campaign trail this year.

  1. Remember his reelection was aided by the timing of the 40 year old virgin DVD release.

  2. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 3:34 pm, December 17th, 2008

    And Michele Bachmann said nothing…

  3. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:34 pm, December 17th, 2008

    And to think, he’s been such a staunch loyalist to his party and constituents. Poor dwoopy.

  4. Diremutt says at 3:34 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Why people gotta be hating droopy dog?

  5. Gorillionaire says at 3:39 pm, December 17th, 2008

    This is great news!!!! For JOHN MCCAIN!!1!

  6. shanemcgowan says at 3:39 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Mitch McConnell stole Christmas, and he is still more popular than Joe Lieberman? Either there is something wrong with that survey, or there is something wrong with the people of Kentucky.

  7. BillyClubb says at 3:39 pm, December 17th, 2008

    …the first actual clump of feces to serve in the U.S. Senate“?

    Oh we could argue about this one for weeks.

  8. “Luv ‘em then Lieberman” is still alive?

  9. MoodProcessor says at 3:40 pm, December 17th, 2008

    The people of Connecticut just found out about Joey’s wet noodle fetish.
    That, and his superfluous third nipple.

  10. Will someone throw a shoe at this guy?

  11. p-Sludge says at 3:45 pm, December 17th, 2008

    “… any other person or thing.” The Irony? He’s an actual Lizard Person.

  12. robanybody says at 3:46 pm, December 17th, 2008

    I bwame dis disgwaysabul cawuctuh assabbinashun on da wabbit.

  13. that’s what I call “Joementum”

  14. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 3:50 pm, December 17th, 2008

    So 38% of Connecticutians are Republicans?

  15. Noodle Salad says at 3:50 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Please, Mister Santa Claus, alls I want for Christmas is a Lieberman bathroom scandal. That’s all. Oh, and a new economy. Just those two things. I promise I have been good this year. Yours Sincerely, Noodle Salad.

  16. PsycGirl says at 3:52 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Isn’t this the guy the Republicans dubbed “Loserman” in 2000?

  17. WhatTheHeck says at 3:53 pm, December 17th, 2008

    And the Dem leadership smoked a peace-pipe with this guy? WTF?

  18. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:54 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Way to go Connecticut! As far as the New England states, you’re only out-tooled by Maine, who just passed on the chance to get rid of Susan “Also-on-Homeland-Security-Committee-and-See-Nothing-Worth Investigating” Collins.

  19. Hooray For Anything says at 3:55 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Now that’s what I call Joementum

  20. quoth teh Raven says at 3:57 pm, December 17th, 2008

    I’m really gonna…ah, gonna miss… mmm, hahahahahahahahahaha…him.

  21. chascates says at 3:58 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Mandatory retirement at 70 for House & Senate.

  22. Noodle Salad: if we got a Lieberman bathroom scandal, i’d take another fifteen months of recession.

  23. PsycGirl says at 4:07 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Suppose Joe Lieberman and Kathyrn Lopez procreated together? Would it produce one of those animal-human hybrids we were warned about a few years back?

  24. Noodle Salad says at 4:14 pm, December 17th, 2008

    dogdoor: Same here, although I think some Joementum in the Joemensroom would lift the nation’s spirits enough to get us out of the recession.

  25. Noodle Salad says at 4:15 pm, December 17th, 2008

    PsycGirl: what would be human about it?

  26. That CT seat in the senate must be worth A LOT. You don’t just give those away.

  27. gliberal says at 4:16 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Hateful pompous windbag. But dang, that Campbell Brown is easy on the eyes, isn’t she? She’s had some work done but they did a good job and they had nice raw materials to work with. She got it going on.

  28. assistant/atlas says at 4:17 pm, December 17th, 2008

    Hey, Joe, don’t worry buddy! You’re still more popular than Blaggy! (for now)

  29. gliberal says at 4:18 pm, December 17th, 2008

    BTW, what else do they do at Quinnipiac other than release these yawn inducing obvious revelations?

  30. Happy Hanukkah, Joe!

  31. Another product of Connecticut: Benedict Arnold.

  32. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:26 pm, December 17th, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0:
    Michelle Bachman never says nothing! Or is it never no nothing?

  33. Explanation please. This is a serious question. Okay, Joe Lieberman has always been an icky, phoney ass kissing slime thing. George Bush hs always been a callous, evil, scum sucking ball of turds. My approval rating of them has been minus one billion since the first day I saw them. Who ARE these people who at one time approved of these pigs, and now do not approve? I mean,Joe and George haven’t changed. How could you approve of them before and not now? Assuming you approve of slimey turds in the first place.

    “The enclosed spaces between the wrinkles form excellent incubators for Staph and other bacteria thus predisposing to skin fold infections. In this condition, which usually involves the folds around the muzzle, skin becomes red and moist and soon begins to smell. Regular grooming is vital to this breed, as is inspection and cleaning of the skin folds. Brushing stimulates the production of important skin oils that are protective. Choosing a less wrinkled individual may be helpful in avoiding this problem.”

  35. Campbell Brown HAS GOT TO GO!!! She is hogging up far too much of my screen. I mean, is the wonkette that hard up for money, or just that hard up for CAMPBELL??

  36. actor212 says at 4:46 pm, December 17th, 2008

    “highest disapproval rating in any Quinnipiac University poll in any state for a sitting U.S. senator — except for New Jersey’s Robert Torricelli, just before he resigned in 2002.”

    There’s a hint here, Joe…

  37. azw88: You will be sorry you just attracted her attention, once she’s finished with Tokyo.

  38. A bag of dicks exists in perpetuity with Joe’s name on it.

    Mustang: There’s a beetle in Texas that stands on its front lets and rolls shitballs backwards across the prairie with it’s hind legs. These dung beetles find great value in shitballs and expend a lot of energy to move them to and fro. I think perhaps there is a human equivalent, a sort of insect-human evolutionary parallelism, if you will. Why humans or insects would decide shitballs are no longer appropriate objects of affection is an obvious next step in the investigative chain. Perhaps the mere act of propelling the shitballs creates an odor shift in the odious orb, or the exertion of supporting the shitball’s progress becomes, at a certain point, a negative on the cost-benefit scale, spurring abandonment and a renewed search for a new shitball. Finding answers will require extensive research funded by a steady infusion of federal grant dollars–not likely in this time of economic duress. Thus, it’s possible we won’t solve the shitball conundrum any time soon.

    I hope this helps.

  40. TGY: Maybe she will get it on with Godzilla and make some babies…. wonder what they would look like…. oh, we already have Bill-O, the grouchy dinosaur turned ‘news’ caster….

  41. robanybody: That is deep.

  42. robanybody says at 5:38 pm, December 17th, 2008

    I like having Murphy Brown big on my screen. Reminds me of the 90s, when there was irrational exuberance. Also, she’s just the right size for a finger puppet, which solves the problem of what to do with the rest of my evening.

  43. NunnaTheSOBs says at 5:39 pm, December 17th, 2008

    apparently even in Connecticut
    the sight of the Senator from
    Jerusalem, with his hand up
    McCain’s ass, as if the latter
    were a sock puppet was just
    too much —-

  44. stopmebeforeitypeagain says at 6:11 pm, December 17th, 2008

    PsycGirl: Which is human and which animal, or are they both vicious, drooling half-breeds?

  45. Now that’s what I call Joementum.

  46. bitchincamaro says at 7:12 pm, December 17th, 2008

    “Senator Fecal Clump”. I like it.

  47. WTF is Quinnipiac University anyway? Is it accredited? In what and how come some random geek like Nate Silver can outsmart a whole university? (Or is University the new Community College?)

  48. OffTheRecord says at 11:54 pm, December 17th, 2008

    shanemcgowan: As a person of Kentucky I can say that we are definitely the problem. We promise to try very hard to at least get rid of Bunning next time. But no promises. He was a baseball player, you know?

  49. Quinnipiac University:

    http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x13.xml

    They’re proud of the fact they produce TV reporters and producers. I wonder if they produced Campbell Brown?
    She’s one fine looking woman! I don’t think Connecticut is capable of producing anyone who’s as good looking as Campbell Brown.
    I’ve been to CT, I know!!

  50. joementum says at 1:18 am, December 18th, 2008

    Do I have to change my screen name now? 38% say it’s just dandy.

  51. Automatic Daddy says at 8:23 am, December 18th, 2008

    Little Joe is a really repellent character. It’s as if someone crossed a lying machine with a flaccid mule penis, isn’t it?

  52. Dreckster says at 8:57 am, December 18th, 2008

    Hey…*I* hate his freaking guts too (Senator Stool Sample) and I ain’t even Amurrikan!
    And I state this with NO BIAS and NO BULL.

  53. Schadenfried says at 9:55 am, December 18th, 2008

    BillyClubb: Try years.
