Holy Joe earns a "C". "An odd, disjointed speech from a man with perhaps too many parties".

[jefferson_dem]

Joe Lieberman
Grade: C


A long-time Democrat, short-time independent, and former Gore running mate, he seemed a little out of place in the hearty Republican crowd. But the Connecticut senator scored a big round of applause with his "country over party" line. Spoke at length, if very generally, about his friend and colleague John McCain. Still, he lost the audience in the hall at many intervals — they chatted amongst themselves between tosses of red meat. Lieberman, more in sadness than in anger, argued unambiguously that Obama is not yet ready to be president, but confused the crowd by hailing Bill Clinton as a Democrat who really reached across party lines to get things done (grumbling and uncertain applause). Eventually, he brought the speech back to his party — hopping rationale with talk of Iraq. But all in all it was an odd, disjointed speech from a man with perhaps too many parties to make a coherent argument.

1. Fuck LIEberman

time to kick him out of the Dem caucus. Who gives a shit if the Senate ties? Nothing will get done between now and the end of the year anyway with the elections, and the HOR can stop any bill the Senate passes anyway.

Show this douche bag the door and kick him to the curb NOW

What an embarassment that I live in CT

peace

2. I like how the media makes his support of McCain all about principle

whereas it's just about simple, petty score settling with the antiwar Democrats who refused to vote for him in the 2006 primary and the party's subsequent backing (however tepid) of Lamont.

3. That's a higher grade than I would give him.

He received a big fat F from me FAILED.

4. Liarman reminds me of certain dictators.

The impression I get from his warmongering is that his entire being revolves around wiping out a certain people in certain countries. Sad.

5. He lost his coherency a few years back

Now he's just hedging his bets.

6. "Joe Lieberman, party of one..."

"Also under the name of Joe Quisling, party of one, your trip to obscurity is ready..."

7. It was an awful speech.
