    Breakfast is the least Don could do, with Lieberman spending the night and all… :()


  2. Punchy says:

    DAMMIT, #1, you took my snark! I was going to make the joke about the wine and dine, eating on the same side of the table, the phone-number exchange, followed by the walk o’ shame.

    Joey–give it up. You’ve crossed over to the Dark Side. Dining with the Devil?


  3. afterthought says:

    I still say this is good all around:
    1) The Dems are rid of a DINO
    2) The country is rid of Dumbsfeld
    3) Could get someone good in the senate


  4. unbelievable says:

    I’d think this were good news if they were having breakfast at an outdoor terrace in Fallujah


  5. progressive and proud says:

    This is the republican’s attempt at being bi-partisan. You know, that crazy stuff they mentioned during elections? Oh well, another lie. I was wondering how they were going to start digging out of their political hole. Hmmmm


  6. Fred says:

    Doesn’t Lieberman mean “man lover” in German.


  7. Chris in AZ says:

    hey, if he can stomach food while sitting at the table with Rumsfeld he has severed all ties with the Dems and has joined the dark side


  8. Granite State Destroyer says:

    Rumsfeld and Lieberman then tagteamed Haddasa while high-fiving each other.

    -GSD


  9. Chris in AZ says:

    I am truely ashamed to be born & raised in CT with the way this guy is acting…I am going home next week for Christmas and will be sure to voice my opion of this shill while I’m there


  10. Ryan the Angry Midget says:

    Liberman does look an awful lot like Emperor Palpetine from Star Wars, so he might be turning to the Dark Side. So much for my conspiracy theory that Rumsfeld hates jews.


  11. Keith H. says:

    Any guesses as to what was on the menu?
    I’m thinking babies & eggs with toast & baby preserves.

    sauteed kittens with a puppy reduction… and may a side of baby confit!


  14. Liberals Hate America says:

    Did any of you even stop to consider that Lieberman is right? Between his four trips to Iraq he has seen the progress the mainstream media refuses to report on because it would benefit Bush and that is not part of their ‘agenda’. I hope Joe does switch parties, we can always use one more good politician on our side. By the way, at what point did the Republican party request a time-table during WWII from FDR to bring our troops home? Our losses then were staggering compared to now so surely someone must have done it. What, they didn’t? Oh you mean they supported a war-time president? What a concept!

    Please, dispell our ignorance and elaborate on what Lieberman is “right” about, other than his political leanings.

    Also, your comparison of Iraq to WWII is simplistic and off the point. How are the two similar, other than the fact that a lot of people are dying?

    Your comparison of Iraq to WWII is simplistic and doesn’t hold water. How are the two similar?


  17. Ryan Neat says:

    LHA,

    Iraq has a worse infrastructure now, than before the war. Progress is relative to us destroying everything during the invasion. Those who consider Lieberman right, are just ignorant and idiotic fools like yourself.

    And actually LHA, republicans fought to prevent troops fighting in the war at all, and that’s why it took an attack on our soil to finally bring about a real war. And it’s so funny you bring up WWII, because most of the troops came home from germany immediately after surrender, whereas our troop levels have remained the same. And the occupation was relatively peaceful in WWII, compared to the mess we’re in now. So by WWII standards, Iraq has been an utter failure.

    Bush’s grandfather didn’t want us to fight germany, because he and the rest of his fascist buddies were making a fortune financing hitler. You’re such a retarded little brownshirt idiot…


  18. Ryan Neat says:

    LHA demostrates the typical ignorance and laziness that is conservatism and fascism.

    “As a matter of general principle, I believe there can be no doubt that criticism in time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government … too many people desire to suppress criticism simply because they think that it will give some comfort to the enemy to know that there is such criticism. If that comfort makes the enemy feel better for a few moments, they are welcome to it as far as I am concerned, because the maintenance of the right of criticism in the long run will do the country maintaining it a great deal more good than it will do the enemy, and will prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur”
    - Republican Senator Robert A. Taft, December 19, 1941 (12 days post-Pearl Harbor Attack)

    I can go on, but the republicans tried to block our entrance into the war even after pearl harbor and the attack had occurred, and the enemy was known.

    Care to place another ridiculous and idiotic claim there yee olde republican fool?



  19. David says:

    Let’s see:

    World War II: real enemies, as in, states and their attendant armies, preemptively attacked other states, and eventaully, ours. Included declaration of war, thus making it a “real” war, as opposed to most of the military actions undertaken since.

    Iraq: what army? When did they attack us? How did they threaten our country? Why was it necessary to waste so much money and life for what was a non-existent threat?

    Your comparison is ludicrous. Of course no one was asking when we were bringing the troops- THERE WAS A REAL WAR GOING ON! With actual threats to our nation, as opposed to forged documents, innuendo, and heavily parsed language implying Iraqis were going to gas us with their aramda of bio-weapon spraying drone aircraft.

    Try reading some history.

    I’m sure Lieberman must have tasted Rummy’s “sausage” during
    breakfast. :()


  21. ProgressRVA says:

    Finally we’re getting rid of the DINOs. We should be ashamed of ourselves for having ever given them a voice at the Democratic table.

    Leiberman is from Connecticut, “The Submarine State”, a state whose economy is inordinately dependant upon the military-industrial complex. His state’s dependency is Leiberman’s too. He is in the pocket of vampires, he is a pro-death voter, and this is becoming less and less disputable. The same goes for Joe Biden from “The Gunpowder State” of Delaware- the state has no appreciable history outside of DuPont’s contributions to our wars. Joe Biden is the only elected Democrat I know of that has signed a PNAC position paper. Biden is DINO #2 to send to packing to the Reds. The thing that infuriates me most is the fact that Biden sells himself as a Vietnam protester. What errors made that a bad war and this a good one? It doesn’t have to make sense- he is a Red in disguise.

    “Liberals Hates America” is the only person on this board to propose Leiberman’s soundness. “Liberals” makes no sense. “Liberals” doesn’t have to make sense- he is a Red. You have pudding all over your bib, “Liberals”. You can talk with the grown ups later, first ask your mommy to clean you up.

    “Liberals” thinks that “The Holy Bible” is an adequate Civil Code and also a deed to land for Israel. “Liberals” thinks the world is 6000 years old. “Liberals” thinks that America cannot be great until Oral Roberts University has taken its place above UC-Berkeley and MIT. “Liberals” thinks that theocracy is good and “benevolent dictatorship” is better. “Liberals” is part of a problem you can’t reason with, only talk louder than- he is anti-intellectual, pro-terror, anti-people, anti-government, pro-torture, pro-death, ANTI-AMERICAN. No amount of wasted breath is sufficient because they are anti-reason.

    Lonely breakfast? He’d better get used to it.

    Define Liberal, perhaps We can talk, other than that much like a Limbaugh, Everything is everyone elses fault, pointing fingers fixes the Problem?
    Secondly YOU act as if you KNOW all the Secrets of the Universe, I will ASK you to please Divulge such beginnings, and meanings, Pysically or MetaPhysically. YOUR choice.


  24. Pablo in Mexico says:

    LHA

    Where is your brain? On lend lease. Everyone with any sense knows that we are not fighting TERRIST in Iraq, we are fighting INSURGENTS.

    Bushbaby is only inflamming the TERRIST worldwide.

    Wake up and pee pee boy, the world is on fire.


  25. unbelievable says:

    You don’t fight terrorists when you’ve occupied a country. You’re fighting revolutionaries then. And we have occupied Iraq.


  26. Nate says:

    Democrats should not worry about this at all. If Joe Lieberman takes SecDef, his political career is over. A Republican will be named to his senate seat, and his constituents will be enraged. I for one applaud this move; it rids us of quite possibly the worst Democratic senator in one fell swoop, and the DNC/DSCC doesn’t even have to raise a finger.


  27. Susan says:

    Good riddence, who needs Lieberman anyway. He is the ultimate flip flopper and traitor.

    Let him have Rummy’s job, he’ll be removed the minute we impeach Bushie.


  28. John Stapleton says:

    Dumsfield is a perfect example of the peter principle normally used in the Industrial Management realm.
    Hopefully he will be excused before any further embarrasing remarks are quoted!!
