- NOW WHO IS THIS UPSTANDING DIGNIFIED SENATOR?: “[People] are fed up — frustrated and fed up and angry about the way in which our government does not work, about the way in which we come down here and get into a lot of political games and seem to — partisan tugs of war and forget why we’re here, which is to serve the American people. And I think the filibuster has become not only in reality an obstacle to accomplishment here, but it also a symbol of a lot that ails Washington today.” That’s… Joe Lieberman! From 1994, when he tried to pass legislation watering down the filibuster. We’d like to think Joe will get grilled with these quotes when he appears on the CBS show Sunday morning, but he’ll probably just be asked to explain why the Democrats are so reckless, with the money and deficits and partisanship. [HuffPo]
Ha! CBS will have Lieberman’s pants down around his ankles as they suck him off for the entire 45 minutes of air time.
hobospacejunkie: OMG, what a horrible visual (Joe & Bob Schieffer). You are a mean, mean man!
Joe Lieberman: The Thorn In Our Collective Paw. He’s what happens if you don’t yank that thorn out right away. Irritation, Infection, Rot, Gangrene, and finally, Death.
Consider this… quite a few pundits 9 years ago saying they wished Cheney and Liebermann were at the tops of their tickets instead of Gore and Bush.
Gee, he was unbearable six years before I’d even heard of him. Maybe the Democrats should trade him for Dede Scozzafava.
1994, .. he was probably feeling wistful after Kurt Cobains death.
To think this mope could have been vice president is as scary a thought that Palin could have.
Barry, SAVE US!!!
hobospacejunkie: Texan Bulldoggette:
There’s nothing worse than dry, toothy “Joe Bob”.
So do they have really good donuts in the green room for these pundit shows? Or is it just the fact that they draw the assholes out for an ego stroking? If it’s for ego stroking, the skin on Joes’ ego must be pretty red rough and sore these days. Probably needs some bag balm or vaseline on it, and some rest.
rocktonsammy: Palin-Lieberscum 2012!
Prof. Junk: A good memory is a bad curse.
It needs to be said. Joo Lieberfuck is a groaning, distended sack of fermented and gurgling rat’s pus, and he should be left out in the hot sun until he bursts and fire ants eat his shriveled gonads
Man, just when it seems Joe Lieberman can’t possibly get any more annoying, some go-getting reporter digs up a quote that basically completely resets my concept of “annoying”.
THANKS A FUCKING LOT, CONNECTICUT.
Make him ambassador to Iran or North Korea! He’s like Lucy yanking away the football.
Gee, I wish there were something the Democrats could do, you know, like, if they were the majority party. They could, oh, I don’t I know, maybe strip Lieberwhine of his seniority and the chairmanship of his precious Homeland Security committee.
Oh, that’s right. We ARE the majority party. They put up with him originally because it was only the war where he was off the reservation. Now it’s everything. Barry let him off easy after dickwad campaigned for McCain and it went to his head so now he’s crazy all the time. It’s 58 Democrats versus this one little weasel. What the fuck kind of odds do these people need?
It’s easy. You have a Democratic caucus meeting and strip Joe of everything, just like they did Arlen Specter. How hard is that?
I am so fucking tired of this guy. Strip him of everything and move on, Democrats. Please?
assistant/atlas: There are a certain number of Connecticut voters (most) who would like nothing better than take Joe out to the Devil’s Hop Yard, strip him, handcuff him to a tree, and then leave him to enjoy the brisk New England night air. Coyotes have come back to the area.
Got an e-mail from my senator, Sen. Lieberfuck, regarding my e-mail to him. Turns out you can tell a sitting senator to go fuck himself, and his wife, and you still get a polite e-mail in response. Who knew.
His response:
“I do feel strongly that any health care reform legislation that I support must not only be budget neutral, but also reduce health care costs over the long term for individuals, groups, and businesses and for the federal government. That is the primary reason why I oppose a public option. It would be better to first sustain the long-term solvency of Medicare and Medicaid before creating a new government-run health insurance program.
Some have asked about my remarks regarding votes on health care reform on the Senate floor. When the bill comes to the Senate floor, I am planning to vote to allow debate to begin on the bill, which in this instance will require 60 votes. I very much look forward to debating the various aspects of this critical legislation and voting on proposed amendments. If, however, when the subsequent motion to limit debate time on the bill is voted on, with a 60-vote requirement for that motion to succeed, I will not vote in favor of that motion if the bill at that time includes a public option, for the reasons stated above.”
Die, Lieberfuck, die.
Senator:
1. Leghorn Foghorn (in his opposition to the filibuster of the pro-poll tax bill of 1876.)
2. Maximus Fartus (decrying the 60 vote requirement to allow the “Crucify the Socialist Maoist Public Option Nazarene Act of 30 AD” to come to a vote of the Roman Senate.)
3. Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, before he discovered that the rest of the Soviet senators had been liquidated … on his personal orders.
Mmmm … close?
Katydid:
Reply: “Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?”
Should’ve gave the orbital tongue job to John Stossel or Chris Wallace, not CBS.
Katydid: Lieberman: “Any health care reform legislation that I support must reduce health care costs over the long term. That is the primary reason why I oppose a public option, because the public option is designed to reduce health care costs over the long term.” What a wacky guy!
Dreadful Gate: I totally agree, that needed to be said.
Senator Liebershit should be ganged banged by republican gays! Given the large number of them, he would have one sore ass before long!
As an Aussie observer, the continued refusal of the Democrats to (metaphorically) terminate this douchebag with extreme prejudice astounds me.
There are many things about the U.S. system of government that are superior to ours. When it comes to Party loyalty, however, “Thou shalt NEVER vote against thy Party” is the First Commandment learned by any Australian politician who wants to remain one. In Oz, Lieberdouche would have been hanged by his testicles (and might even have been lucky if it was just metaphorically ) years ago.
Eew! Will y’all puh-leeze stop using the word “strip” in conjunction with that little asshole’s name? The image it brings to mind causes my entire soul and body to be wracked with violent nausea. (insert shudder here.)
