Joe Lieberman has become the Balloon Boy dad of the Senate Democratic caucus, a fame-whore so addicted to media attention that he hatches ever-more-desperate and risky schemes that sell out his "family" to earn press attention.

Poll question: Well, who is the biggest whore, republican kiss-ass Democratic Senator?

ET Awful from him . . .
When you live in the same state as a huge chunk of the insurance industry, you (if you're a whore like Lieberman) cater to their desires. Does CT have any industry other than insurance?

4. my opinion is
he is an attention whore, but even he realized that, once he was caught with his pants down (figuratively) after his boy Johnny lost, he was completely screwed politically, so he shaped up once Obama and the Dems spared his political life.

4. Any Democrat who goes on Hannity is a dumb media whore
And Lieberman is rapidly slithering into the Republican campground.

1. There is a difference between calling a man a whore and a woman a whore

[hobbit709]

3. How about gigolo? Selling yourself out for money is the crux of the matter.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. Cool, we called Michelle Bauchman and Ree whores as well

7. Who is we?

[Joe the Revelator]

10. DU man. DU.

[Joob]

6. No there's not. That's actually sexist. NT

[Renew Deal]

8. Right. Saying that calling a woman a whore is sexist

[Joob]

11. You said there was a difference. Explain what the difference is.

[Renew Deal]

13. For a man it's taken metaphorically. For a woman it's taken literally.

Don't believe me? Look at what happened since it was said.

[Joob]

16. So matters less if a man was called a whore. Got it.

[Kittycat]

17. No one called her a whore, you assumed that.

But I'll go with sell out. Her and Payday Debbie.

[Renew Deal]

25. I trust that he didn't mean it about her literally

But people need to be smarter with their language.

[Kittycat]

48. I don't disagree

The difference between our message board and personal banter, and public speech should be defined spaces. The person responsible apologized right away from what I saw online. It's up to us to own our reactions, as well.

[Luminous Animal]

12. Really. And what does that have to do with the latest poutrage?

FYI

[Renew Deal]

14. Everything

[Luminous Animal]

18. Okay. What woman was called a whore in the context of my OP?

[Renew Deal]

22. Hillary

Let's not pretend that your post is just about Lieberman. It's in the context of tonight's events.

[Luminous Animal]

26. Hahahaha! So Hillary is all Democrats rolled into one. Oh and DU site search: Palin whore

palin whore site:democraticunderground.com

[Renew Deal]

27. What prompted your post about Lieberman?

[Luminous Animal]

32. Cuz Democrat. First it went from outrage that a Democrat was characterized as a corporate whore

then it went to Hillary was called a whore. Just fucking ridiculous when both Democrats and women were freely called corporate whores, media whores, and attention whores, for years and thousands of times.

[Luminous Animal]

23. DU, Palin, and attention and/or media whore

palin whore site:democraticunderground.com

[m-lekktor]

21. umm. what do you think the fellas at rentboy.com did for a living before it was busted? nt

[Renew Deal]

37. Don't know

Don't care

[TM99]

35. So which woman did Dr. Song

call a whore?

Because he didn't actually. He said the corporate Democratic whores who shill for big pharma and big insurance while we American's suffer with out medical care and with high medical costs.

Which are you really more concerned about? Be honest. Is it the word whore? Or is it the plight of the American citizen's health?

[Renew Deal]

38. It is said in the context of the campaign.

And Bernie is running against a woman. This is why Song has already apologized.

[TM99]

41. Song apologized because

of the poutrage pushed by Team Clinton.

At least he apologized. Bill Clinton couldn't muster one. De Blasio and Hillary couldn't seem to muster one either.

I guess context is everything.

[Bluenorthwest]

46. Of course the speaker used the plural 'Whores' so 'a man' or 'a woman' would be singular

and thus what was said simply was not about any individual but as he said, about those beholden to big pharma.

[Smarmie Doofus]

51. 'Splain. nt

[northernsouthern]

52. I said I don't like the word and it was poorly choosen...

But the guy was obviously talking about our system, seeing as the super delegates and the congress were a target. He did not call her one, he called our system. Again bad word since it will offend some, but it is in no way in context supposed to be a attack on a woman who's own husband is on the record as the actual whore (the usage you are implying) in that family. Just as if you say someone is your family, you are not calling them your servant...which is the word's history. Or more accurately if you say there is a fork int he road, you are most likely not talking about an eating utensil, they may have had common origins, but they are not the same thing.

[hobbit709]

2. Now you know the Church of Perpetual Poutrage is not swayed by facts.

[Renew Deal]

5. Oh the irony

[Warren Stupidity]

9. Fuck him. Asshole doesn't suffice.

[riderinthestorm]

15. Sarah Palin - attention whore or not? Discuss

[Luminous Animal]

20. Search link to Palin being called one kind of whore another all over this board.

[beam me up scottie]

19. The latest talking point is that Dr. Song outright called Hillary a whore.

When the truth isn't enough to generate poutrage, just make something up.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

[hedda_foil]

33. Dr River Song called Hillary a whore? ???? Well, all I can say about that is...

Keep on rowing Bernsters. We're on our way to victory!

[beam me up scottie]

34. Everyone to the Tardis!

[opiate69]

49. !!

[beam me up scottie]

50. YES! My favourite Doctor!

[ecstatic]

24. I don't use that word. Then again, I'm not a big

curser. I try not to use foul language, but when I do, it's the basic, lower level foul language. Nothing gender specific, etc.

[pat_k]

28. Use at a candidate's rally is very poor judgment, but...

29. Citing prior abhorrent behavior is not valid a reason to excuse current abhorrent behavior

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Posting to avoid the jury call by some "outraged" DUer who wants to label

this a callout.

[m-lekktor]

31. good post!

[Kalidurga]

36. Awesome

Maybe we should just refer to Hillary as Golden Handcuffs Clinton. That seems a little more accurate.

[Chan790]

42. I prefer "Hillary Iscariot"

It's esoteric but there's no constituency she values more than an additional 30 shiny pieces of silver in her pocket. Realizing that the Temple and the Roman ruler were major financial players of their day in Jeruselem, Judas was the original corporate whore.

[Kalidurga]

43. I like it

Either way she still loves those golden handcuffs. She has sold us out for silver n gold. I guess she didn't think we would notice.

[m-lekktor]

39. What an insult to whores! nt

[geek tragedy]

40. How many of them publicly introduced candidates

Pretending to be Presidential material.

[beam me up scottie]

45. One of the worst corporate whores works for your candidate.

You might remember him, he destroyed Anita Hill for money, called her "slutty" and blamed her for being sexually harassed.

Let's talk about morally bankrupt...

[kgnu_fan]

44. too many whores in Democratic party.... help!!!

[bigwillq]

47. Well, I wouldn't call him that, but I don't have anything nice

To say about him.
