Once upon a time, Joe Lieberman nearly ruined Barack Obama’s career forever by going to the Republican National Convention and calling him a “young man” repeatedly while Obama was busy trying to win a campaign against an ancient War God and his evil, fecund snow mistress. Obama prevailed, of course, but since then everybody has hated Joe Lieberman’s guts even more than they used to.
Now maybe the healing has begun, because Lieberman has started saying nice things about President Obama. He appreciates that our new president has good manners, a forgiving disposition, and the frigging ounce of political calculation necessary to keep him in the Democratic caucus despite Lieberman’s distinctly twattish behavior last year.
The Connecticut independent, who faces re-election in 2012 in a state where Obama is popular, is eager to mend fences with Democrats still fuming over his criticism of Obama during the general election campaign.
Lieberman has applauded Obama’s national security team. He gushed over Obama’s “inspirational and unifying” inaugural. Lieberman even played a key role helping Obama win Senate passage of the economic stimulus plan.
So basically, Vinegar Joe is back to debasing himself for his latest boyfriend. Good luck in 2012, dude.

Can we call Joe the Wind Sock?
Where ever the wind goes that’s where Joe blows.
ManchuCandidate: Oh, come now… Joe Blows whether the wind is blowing or not.
I’ll defer to any actual Connecticutians, should they in fact exist, but he’s going to lose by like 129 points the next primary around, isn’t he?
I had a dream once where I was riding in an old blue bus on a cliffside gravel road in South America and the driver took a turn badly and we slid partway off the road and the passengers and their children and caged chickens panicked and everyone was scrambling to get out, and in the chaos I saw Joe Lieberman fall out the back door and tumble downward into the ravine. In the middle of the danger I laughed maniacally and the Spanish-speaking woman climbing over me to get out cursed me for being the devil - to which I replied, ‘no, he just left.’
Oh Holy Joe, you truly are a man with absolutely no spine, aren’t you.
You get what you deserve, Connecticut.
He may be a spineless, oleaginous backbiting twit, but he’s our spineless, oleaginous backbiting twit. For now. Sigh.
Ass, meet platter.
Did Netanyahu tell him to play nice?
norbizness:
I’m a CT’er and we have short memories. They will vote for Joe because they’ll think he’s still running for VP.
Besides, any democrat who runs against Joe will likely be a former Greenwich businessman with lots of boy scouts underwear in his closet.
Soo, Rush, who do we contribute to now for the 2012 primary against Joe….? …because, snark or no snark, this smarmy piece of asswipe has shown up in my visual spectrum for way too many occasions to be funny anymore… Greenwich underwear or no underwear…
I guess Obama does know Joe pretty well. Saving him from the horrors of not being able to use the same cloak room as Harry Reid has created some sort of battered wife/Stockholm syndrome in Lieberman. In return for a willing lickspittle, all he has to do is put up with creepy and sexually deviant love notes. Fair trade.

“calling him a “young man” repeatedly” In Joe’s defense, that was one of the nicer names the Rs called Barry.
Vinegar Joe=loves watersports.
Sore-Loserman seems so long ago…
Do you think Joe’s ever had sex with a donkey?
Joe was once a ‘young man’ and foolish.
Now he’s just a foolish old man, clinging on for dear life.
Will he run in the Dem primary?
Isn’t Joe a member of the Joe Lieberman for Senate Party (of one), or some such megalomaniacal bullshit?
Fuck him. Connecticut should have had the good sense to get rid of him in ‘06.
Rush: Since he’s an independent, he doesn’t have to go thru a primary campaign and he’ll be opposed again from both sides, right? Which is probably good for the little turd.
Cunt (yes, it does apply to others, like this douchebag, too, not just Cindy).
CorkPopper:
You are right about no primary for Hadassah’s hubby. However, despite CT being a very Blue state, 2012 is a long way off and Liebermann is a huge “brand” in CT - sorta like Pepto Bismal.
I think he should hook up with Meghan McCain. It might help him get the taste of her daddy out of his mouth.
But, but… no one messes with Joe! Wait, what’s that? Barry was referring to Joe Biden? Never mind.
Also.
Joe’s face just cries out for the firm and sustained application of a large, fluffy pillow … or a Doc Marten Model 1914.
Obama will stump for Lieberman in 2012 and probably release Photoshopped pictures of Ned Lamont fucking a goat, or some such. Just to piss off left-leaning computer users.
norbizness: He [i]better[/i] lose. If you can judge by the insane line at my polling station of people who were eagerly waiting to vote for Obama, then yes he will lose. But I can’t speak for the rest of the state.
RandomNickname: Hey now, not all of us deserve it. Especially not those of us who wrote to him expressing our disgust with his general being. The asshats in this state who vote for him definitely deserve it. The rest of us will just have to suffer the shame.
norbizness: Yes. Joe Lieberman is a douche, and he couldn’t get elected as dogcatcher in this state.
NED LAMONT 2012!!!!
bitchincamaro: As though one McCain taint was much different from any other.
O/t, but clicking the Rwandan kids ad is well worth it.
Well, “young man” is better than “boy.” Still, the day we hear him say “credit to his race” is the day we can welcome back Joe “I kiss G(r)OPer ass” Lieberman.
Also, Joe is still an asshole.
In further CT news, Time says Chris Dodd faces a “backyard rebellion”. Woo hoo, socialite hedgefund mistress bootie secks! Or not.

Also.
Lieberman is a good Democrat except when he isn’t. Thats should suffice. And he isn’t on foreign policy, because he thinks like all neoons ours should be set by the Likud in Israel. That’s all. After that, he’s all right, if you remember only where his first loyalty lies.
Thank god some other state is getting slammed by the wonketeers. Me and my orange governor are TIRED. Also
Connecticut, if you re-elect Joe the rest of the Union gets to kick you in the balls.
hobospacejungle: Known virgin, remember?
Jeezus, Connecticut, get your act together already, OK?
You’re embarrassing yourselves.
I live in CT. After the election I emailed Dodd and quoted Sonny Corleone in regards to Lieberman. He emailed me back sympathetically, but I’ll wait till 2012.
Smart Barry has made Phony Joe his beeyatch. Who knows, he might even campaign for him if he remembers his place. Perhaps the back of the bus?
I see the Senator Obedience School was money well spent. Or does he still piss on the couch?
“Evil, fecund snow mistress”….okay the coffee just blew all over the computer screen. Thanks a lot, it’s hard enough coping with DST this morning, now I actually have to exert some energy to clean the damn thing.
Oh, and to say that Libermann is a feckless, cheating, back-stabbing whore would be an insult to decent hard-working whores the world over.
OW come on guys you know i was just kidding right? I was with you all along. Here have some ribbon candy young man, You like ribbon candy?
When I think of the fact that I voted for him for Vice President and was happy that the U.S. might have a Jewish vice president, I get pissed all over again. I can’t believe he cares more for Israel than for the United States.
Rush: You sir, suck. You know who else is from CT? Bush. CT should secede.
Godot: Known virgin, remember?
In the inimitable words of MC Michael Steele, “my bad.”
If we secede can we become part of Prince Edward Island? They have good lobstah, and if there is anything that Nutmeggers love it’s a good lobstah.
grendel: Shit. You beat me to it.
Totally unrelated to Leiberman the feckless C-T virgin, but producing a similar taste of bile in my mouth - the other day I’m riding shotgun with my evangelical right wing Limblob loving sister, when we pass an old Ford truck with a bumber sticker reading “George Bush is a Fucking Asshole.” My sis was totally disgusted and had the unmitigated gall to say under her breath “Geez, get over it.” Such arrogant unapologetic dumbfuckery left me sitting in stunned silence.
Fivetree: Aw, Jesus! I just now got that “evil, fecund snow mistress” meant *Palin*.
I thought the “snow” referred either to Cindy’s expensive pallor, or to one of her similarly expensive drug habits. And, of course, the “evil” works, too. But I was confused by the “fecund”, because, although Cindy has spawned a time or two, her days of fecundity are long past.
As I fixated on “fecundity”, the little lightbulb above my head finally fitfully flickered.
Man, I am *slow* today …
June Cleaver 2.0:
Joseph Lieberman (D-Israel).
The other Senator from Israel is a Democrat, too: Dianne Feinstein (D-Israel)
She is a loathesome sack of pus, an absolute law-and-order-and-more-prisons-and-more-drug-war *junkie*, and I cannot believe the people of Cali keep electing this vile old bitch. I suppose we could call her a DINO.
(BTW, I’m not being a sexist. I, too, am a vile old bitch, but I have better politics.)
IslandGirlFL: Thank god some other state is getting slammed by the wonketeers. Me and my orange governor are TIRED.
Actually, most of us here kinda like your orange governor, who seems to be a reasonable fellow for a guy with an ‘R-Fla’ after his name. It’s just fun to make fun of orange people, that’s all.
IslandGirlFL: I agree. I’m from the north side of Chicago but live in Boise now, so I had to tolerate the mockings stemming from both Blago and the Idaho Bathroom Goblin Gay Larry Craig. I love your governor though…it was such a shame Desperate Housewives had him killed off in the tornado episode.
Also.
Lascauxcaveman: “Thank god some other state is getting slammed by the wonketeers. Me and my orange governor are TIRED.” Word, totally love your “not Gay” Gov. So refreshing to see a politician who should legitimately have a tan all the time!
Joe the Brown-noser?
So ole Joe had to take his left hand
out of the ass of his sock puppet
McCain (election’s over), but his
right hand is STILL up the ass of
Lindsey Graham (friends should examine
each others prostate as often as
possible), and Joe discovered his
new born respect for Obama.
This slimy, two-faced bastard is the world’s
greatest cause of anti-semitism, the lousy
fuck.
I have only a low-level, steady-state hatred for Joe Connecticut. He’s a little better than Alern Specter and a little worse than Judd Gregg. But that part of the world doesn’t have any real assholes with dangerously low IQs that they vote to go Senating. Like Alabama, who has a perfectly matched PAIR.
Lieberman vaut bien une circoncision
Let’s use Lieberman to make Soylent Green for pets.
