Lieberman Salutes His New Ant Overlords, Starts Talking Up His "Respect" For Obama

[Amerigo Vespucci]

October 26, 2008



LIEBERMAN HASN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO HIMSELF.... Joe Lieberman adopted the role of Republican attack dog early on, but as the election draws near, he's hoping the political world has a very short memory.

Lieberman, a self-proclaimed "independent Democrat" who was chosen by McCain to make the case against Obama at the Republican National Convention in early September, said his comments have been within bounds.

"When I go out, I say, 'I have a lot of respect for Sen. Obama. He's bright. He's eloquent.'"

My hunch is, Lieberman sees the direction of the political winds, and hopes to convince Democrats that while he's been a McCain sycophant, he's always been "respectful" towards Obama.

Lieberman, in other words, has to hope Democrats haven't been paying any attention at all. The party is supposed to forget, for example, when Lieberman argued that Obama doesn't put "country first."

And the time Lieberman said it was a "good question" to ask whether Obama is a "Marxist."

And the time Lieberman ironically accused the Obama campaign of "sleazy tactics."

And the time Lieberman, at the Republican National Convention, falsely accused Obama of trying to undermine the troops

"Respectful"? Nice try, Joe.

3. What a toady. A self-serving opportunist of the worst kind.

I hope they kick him out, and slam the door on his ass as he is leaving..

5. If Lieberman is kissing ass the McCain must be way behind in

his internal polling!

6. "Joe The Lying Man"

[Faygo Kid]

7. His ass is grass, and all of us here on DU are pushing the lawn mower.

He is finished, through, done, and has cemented his legacy for all time.

Next to McSame, his reputation and influence is going to suffer the most from the ass kicking we are about to bestow.

Goodbye, Joe. A hundred years from now, that handful of people who come across your name will read about what a low-life weasel you chose to be.

Congratulations.

[Occam Bandage]

8. Joe the Shitfucker has dug himself a very deep political grave.

Have fun being a man without a party, douche.

9. Too late Lieberman

Go away and take your McCain/Palin asskissers with you. This is why is is esserntial that the Dems get a large majority in the Senate, to render him useless.

12. Too late to backtrack, Senator Palpatine

[olegramps]

13. I hope that every Democratic Senator shuns these two low life bastards.

[Chloroplast]

14. It's clear that Lieberman puts 'Self' before 'Country' at every turn.

[WeDidIt]

15. And Joe will be welcomed to the Democratic Caucus with OPEN ARMS!

Seriously, Joe paid his hush money. HE gave Reid his $250,000 to insure his spot and chairmanship.

There is only ONE WAY to dump Joe. Democrats have to DEMAND it of their Senators.
