Wonkette
A secret leetle underground train runs 20,000 leagues below the pile of rat carcasses and despair known as “the Capitol,” and it whisks lawmakers between their offices and the votin’ place without their having to encounter land-bound mortals, or sunshine. Sometimes this subway breaks down, and when it does, it is terrifying.
Read the desperate Tweets of Claire McCaskill, our heroine senator from Missouri, who got stuck in the subway this morning:
Stuck in tram from Capitol to Hart. Broken. Not moving. Lieberman and Alexander in next car. And Voiniitch. Wonder how long we’ll be here?
She and her colleagues were later rescued, but not before killing Joe Lieberman and eating his liver for sustenance.
Below: a video clip of the harrowing event.

Joe Lieberman still has internal organs???
In fairness, Joe was the only one there that was kosher.
Isn’t this just the plot from Airport ‘77?
And nine months later the birth rate in D.C. will show a mysterious spike…
Wait; this happens the morning after Tony begins his plan to attack the DC subway on 24. Coincidence, or Fox taking viral marketing too far?
I am starting to really hate fucking tweets!!!11111
They can tweet under the earth? The fuck?
easily the best motion picture ever made. makes “la strada” look like a spaghetti western .
Pickled Liver.
They should just stay underground and begin the Mole-man civilization that will eventually arise when Obama’s evil plans finally come to fruition.
If only she had her volleyball Wilson to keep her company…
Re: alt text: no one had it then (paging Mayor Beame), and no one definitely has it now. It’s the seventies all over again! Chrysler’s going bankrupt, the Swine Flu is back, and the feds will soon tell New York to Drop Dead.
I call bullshit. Where was the gigantic upside Christmas tree? Where was video of Lieberman swimming through an underwater bulkhead before surfacing and dying of a massive heart attack? Where was Ernest Borgnine, for Christ’s sake?
BillyClubb: Nobody on that train is young or healthy enough to impregnate or conceive, except maybe the motorman.
What the fuck is “tiny twitter” and why does Clair have one?
Those lazy senators force their sexy, dance-for-the-money-honey pages to walk those tunnels. And it literally takes less than five minutes.
Is there a pair of classic Greek Revival-style brass TruckNutz on that subway? Because there should be.
nmmagayar: I am starting to really hate tweeting fucks!!!11111
BillyClubb: Very nice. Creats disgusting images, tho.
Sad. This is like getting “trapped” on the teacup ride at Disney world. Anyone who can’t escape those underground rails of death should be quietly put out to pasture, or maybe forced to replace Larry King.
Limo drivers on strike?
Claire McCaskill and Joe Lieberman are stuck in a train.
Who do you pity more?
Why does the John McCain campaign ad feature the Senator’s ancient head superimposed against the Japanese WWII battle flag?
Sorry to interrupt, but in an (increasingly familiar) legislative session today, Maine was just about given to the gays.
Speaking of desperate tweets . . . http://blogs.pitch.com/plog/barack%20and%20claire.jpg
Looks like she wouldn’t be stalled on the Barry Express…
Nothing about Barry and Joe’s trip to hell for lunch?

magic titty: Yeah - she’d ride that Big BLACK Train over and over and over and..
SmutBoffin: You mean the gheys has a gheyne in Meyne?
Dr Tobias Funke: The must have seen the MEAT on Wonkette!
Wait, really? There’s a secret subway just for Senators? That’s kinda… Soviet
You’re all ignoring the 800-pound gorilla in the Subway, The Voiniitch. Why is Obama so weak on the Voiniitch? Why does he shake his hand in public, when all the Voiniitch ever does is wear red work shirts and eat our important Senators?
No Medal of Freedom for that shit?
SayItWithWookies: Yeah, I can’t see the video at work (damn IT dept) but I haz the confuzed. Can’t they get off and walk? Isn’t that subway trip, like, four minutes long?
This should totally get made into a movie. Working title: Morlocks: The Origins.
C’mon, NASA faked the entire event in a t.v. studio, knowing you can’t Tweet a boom shadow.
WadISay: While the other Senators make a desperate break for freedom, Lieberman says, “Don’t worry about me, I’ll just sit in the dark.”
Would someone please take Claire McCaskill’s phone away! I’m starting to hate her and I don’t want to.
She clearly hates the hell out of Voinovich.
Finally, a good use for the Twitter. Keeping track of Joe Lieberman’s whereabouts.
They have service in the Metro?
Did AT&T, Sprint and TMobile finally put the kabash on the Verizon exclusive contract for cell service in the Metro? I HATED THAT when my huzband and I got gay married, I mean, ‘Domestic Partnership’d in DC, we couldnt use our freakin’ GSM phones in the metro stations. I was like, I can use this phone in the freakin hills of Asia but not beneath the capitol of the Leader of the Free World. WHERES THE OUTRAGE?????
Really with the cell phone? Only place my mother can’t use her’s is when she’s at the grocery store inside *shrug*. LOL with tweeting. Oy people are obsessed.
Thank God Lamar Alexander had that flannel shirt to keep himself warm during this ordeal.
