Silly little nebbish. He could have been pharoa or grand rebbe in another land. All he really needs is a nice blonde shiska and a quart of Mogen-David concord grape.

Shouldn't this arrogant, over-entitled, sanctimonious idiot have succumbed to massive cognitive dissonance by now?

Joe's face just isn't droopy enough. MORE JOWLS PLZ! kthnx

More violence indicates that the surge to quell the violence is working. Why is that so hard for liberals to understand?

Does everyone in DC have Cheney's dementia? Better check the water.

Arrrrrrrgh.

Lieberman.

What's he doing there? His place is here, under Chimpy's desk.

@charrington: Who is blowing the prez, while Joe's away?

"Kill the Wabbit! KILL THE WABBIT!"

Clearly the insurgency is in its last throes.

Just think: we used to think no one could look dumber in a helmet than Dukakis.

Surprisingly, with his pro-war stance and Jewish pedigree, Lieberman is poling higher in Baghdad than he is among Democrats, fully 97% of whom believe he should be castrated and disemboweled on the Mall .

let's have a moment of silence for the soldiers that are guarding AN AMERICAN JEW IN IRAQ!!!!

Why is he wearing an SS-style helmet?

Reminds me of the old joke:

What do you call a German nudist?

Helmutt Schoen.

Oh no. Michael Dukakis.

And just in time for Christmas a Jew Boy Joe doll.

@FlownOver:

That was my first thought exactly.

Second? That he looks kinda like an erect - but circumcised! - penis.

In the distance, I'm sure I can see a wave of Iraqi women throwing flowers and flashing their ta-tas in delight.

No, wait a minute, it's just a flashback.

Iraqi women = college hippie chicks on the lawn at Merriweather as Jerry and Bob sing at me...

Cost of sneaking Joe into Iraq: CLASSIFIED
Cost of guarding Joe while he's in Iraq and to sneak him out again: CLASSIFIED
Having fate of Dem Senate majority in Joe's clammy hand: Priceless

can't we just leave him there? We don't need a player to be named later or any other future considerations in return.

Walnuts/Wabbit '08: They'll spend time in Iraq and not bother you here at home!

Oh mighty Warrior of Gweat Fighting Stock

Might I inquire to ask ye...

What's up Doc?

Better he should have done what the president did yesterday: build an Iraqi street in Georgia and tour THAT.

So, Lieberman now loves the President and his Iraq plan, even though he ran against him in two national elections.

This guy will say whatever shit will make him seem important and statesmanlike. He is, after all, the only Orthodox Jew in the Senate, despite lacking earlocks, traditional Jewish attire, and shaving regularly. Oh, yeah, and he's not too much on that whole "thou shalt not kill" commandment (maybe it's different in Hebrew). But he doesn't work on Saturdays.

As a Jew myself, I find his whole piety act annoying, regardless of his politics. He is probably the most unprincipled member of the U. S. Congress. To be honest, I'd prefer a Tom Coburn or a Conrad Burns to Joe--at least they're honest about being crazy right-wingers.

Gees, you know, we've got plenty of really nice markets here in DC. There's no need for these people to keep going to Iraq with 100 of their closest bodyguards to buy rugs or whatever.

Is it true that Liberman threaten to switch from al-Maliki party to al-Sadr party while in Iraq?

Why is Joe Lieberman in Iraq? And why does the taxpayer have to pay for that waste? Unbelievable. There is no need for Lieberman to be jetting off to Iraq at taxpayer expense. None.

Well, I guess it was time for LOLPoliticians:

IM IN YR GRNZONE UP 2 MY HARBLES IN KEVLR!

Holy shit! Its holy Joe showing us how wholly safe it is in Iraq.
That does it. I'm going to Iraq on my next vacation.

@crotchhair:

Madam Speaker, I believe.

Is it just me or does Joe look a little nervous?

@forgracie: I think he just dropped one in his kevlar-plated man-diaper

No matter what they told him, the kevlar is not slimming, and that particular helmet (uh, "borrowed" from the poor helmet-less dude behind him?) is truly hilarious.

I'll bet they pinned a "IED me" sign on his back.

Pinhead.

To borrow (and to paraphrase)from old Flannery:
"He would of been a good man" The Misfit said "if it had been somebody there to shoot him every minute of his life."

@Tommcatt

With his vest and and "magic helmet"

Looks like they're opening "The Producers" in Bagdad and Joe (Jlie-CT) will play the writer of "Springtime for Hitler".

We watch the Babylonian Capitivity in reverse, while freightened Iranians beg Lieberperson to be deported to the slums of Hartford.

What does Joltin' Joe have stuffed in the front of his flack jacket, the Iraq Study Commission Report? At least he's found a use for it.

Joe's utterance about the surge reminds me of Custer's last command: "Take NO Prisoners".

It bears repeating: THANKS AGAIN, CONNECTICUT!!!

...@The_Lev: I think I read it translates into thou shalt not murder in hebrew, which is an important distinction. Just ask the Canaanites how much of a shit God gives about wars of conquest. As long as its in the name of Fat Jesus, its kosher.

There is never a sniper around when you need one.

@Motortruck: Im in shock in awe. Excellent reference.

Lieberman looks like Jimmy Carter and Walter Cronkite mixed together in a helmut

Our model G(astro)I(ntestinal) Joe is shown here wearing a Kevlar chamber pot with a carrying strap, and a combat-ready version of Depends adult diapers, complete with a wraparound toilet paper belt. Be it Shia or Shite, our Joe is always prepared for a surge.
