By the Comics CurmudgeonHey, kids, remember your civics class, where you learned that there are other parts of the government that aren’t currently controlled by Muslims? There’s the so-called “Supreme Court,” which everyone ignores most of the time right up until they legalize gayness; but then there’s this other thing, whaddya call it, Congress, and [...]
Now listen, Joe Lieberman doesn’t want to ascribe any motives to Nidal Malik Hasan. “It’s premature to reach conclusions about what motivated him,” Lieberman very reasonably said on some Fox News teevee something or other last night. But! But! Lieberman will say this: Hasan was a “self-radicalized, homegrown terrorist” who “had turned to Islamist extremism.” [...]
So nine martyr-combatants stormed and briefly occupied the office of Joe Lieberman this morning. After chanting about health care—”Everyone in and no one out, universal health care now!” and “Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!”—they were dragged away and arrested. MEANWHILE: We have not yet heard from Editor Jim Newell this morning! [TPM]
Here’s vulgar, fecal replicant Joe Lieberman on this week’s CBS Sunday morning program. It does not take him long to make a unequivocally illogical and terrible argument while patronizing the dirty hippies. He does not understand how the public option has become a “litmus test” for the left, when there are so many other good [...]
Now Meghan McCain is going to defend Joe Lieberman! No do not groan, this will be great! You know, at some point, someone will presumably let Meghan McCain in on the Meghan McCain “in-joke.” This will be a very sad day. Exhibit A, from beautiful, young Meg’s Daily Beast column: “I find it especially ironic [...]
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 [...]
Joe Lieberman, who is of course with the Democrats on every issue except The War, just keeps talkin’ his Joe Lieberman trash: “I probably will support some Republican candidates for Congress or Senate in the election in 2010. I’m going to call them as I see them.” Fine, campaign for whoever, who cares? But maybe, [...]
HARRY REID DIVESTS HIMSELF FROM BODILY PRISON: Harry Reid said the most awesome thing in a press conference a little while ago: “Joe Lieberman is the least of Harry Reid’s problems.” That’s you, though; you are Harry Reid! And what are Harry Reid’s other problems? Because Joe Lieberman seems to be a significant problem of [...]
If you’re interested in health care reform, and only have time today to get really really pissed off at one Congressional development, check out this bit of “Joementum” sweeping through the news: “Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) told reporters today that he would in fact filibuster any health care bill he doesn’t agree with–and right now, [...]
So after Obama’s gay rights speech on Sunday, this LGBT White House person suggested that maybe everyone would try hitching a repeal of DADT to Joe Lieberman, a grape that rolled under a couch like 50 years ago and in the interim transformed into a malign raisin and also, somehow, a Senator from Connecticut. Why [...]
Joe Lieberman, the actual human equivalent of a chain letter forwarded to you by your grandparents, has a very important tuff-guy job as chair of the Homeland Security Committee. And he’ll tell ya, he does not like Obama’s coterie of czars, not one bit. He’ll probably hold some trenchant as shit hearings about the hated [...]
Do you ever read a news headline and actually say, “Ha. Oh fuck,” aloud? WELL, “Lieberman Finally Used That Nazi/Afghanistan Analogy Everyone Could Tell Was Up His Sleeve” and its variations had that effect on your Wonkette Morning Editor! See, it makes negative zero sense to compare the situation to the Vietnam, Lieberman says, because [...]
