Gollem….aka…LIEberman is so out of touch. Can’t wait for Conneticut to vote the old fart out and pick someone with a conscience and ethics.

Joe Lieberman did what he thought was right, not for his party but for his country. i’m not saying he was right, I’m saying that to hate someone for doing what they believe to be right only shows a lack a principles on the part of the hater. A man who would publicly kill his career for his beliefs is a man to be respected regardless of whether his opinion coincides with yours.

Lieberman is a PIG…

…which makes him extremely un-kosher as far as his religious background is concerned.

I’m reminded of a gutted fish – their mouths still move even after you’ve decapitated them and removed their entrails. Time to toss the head in the garbage bag, America.

lieberman is a loose cannon.

“We all do it”

Obama didn’t do it. President Obama didn’t lie like you lieberman.

How about Ambassador to Kazakhstan?

Lieberman should be the Ambassador to Israel. Or Iraq.

Betrayal means never having to say you’re sorry.

Thanks for posting this. I’ll take your word for what he says — I haven’t the stomach for listening to Lieberman. I’m more comfortable watching his friend’s Sarah’s pals guillotining turkeys.

Wayne, can you read? TP linked to the same right wing rag. Like I said, I expect you to give the TP staff the same guff you gave me. That’s all.

I send TP an email every time I see they got it wrong, even if they have a typo or when they leave a racist post from a troll up and even when I think they hyped something improperly in a headline, etc.

There would be absolutely no political damage whatsoever to formally apologizing, and in fact it would help him with anybody he hopes to get votes from in Connecticut 2012. This is just a personal refusal.

I didn’t want an apology from him anyways, since I know he wouldn’t mean it. I just want him off the Homeland Security committee chairmanship. That’s all.

You linked to Politico that day, a right wing rag and you want ME to apologize for pointing that out?

Wow.

OK, I am sorry I pointed out you linked to a right wing rage and you thought it was based on facts.

Feel better now?

Regret means “knows he should apologize but doesn’t have the guts to.”

They are only doing what, under similar circumstances, they’d hope would be their own treatment.

It’s the Incumbent’s Golden Rule…

Or they’re betting his constituents realize, that he lies to achieve political objectives (like electing his buddy McCain) with such apparent ease, that how can they believe anything he says, about anything? He just admitted to lying, and it makes his constituents look like chumps for re-electing him.

Sort of a reverse-Stevens Strategy.

What a disappointing morning. I heard numerous pundits say Obama will likely postpone his paltry 3% tax increase on people making over $250,000 a year.

The ones I heard said he was just going to let the Bush tax cuts expire, and then see at that point what to do next.

Post #39 is for Wayne. I apologize to TP posters for not making that clear.

Hopefully, TP’s musical post phenomenon will not reoccur.

I thought this was actually a pretty thorough humiliation of Lieberman by Brokaw. Old Holy Joe squirmed through the whole thing and was especially pathetic when he had to admit that Obama has not talked to him. The “I’m moving forward” line was also pretty sad.

I don’t expect an apology, as it would require you to remember what you upchucked on your key board.

I expect you to excoriate TP.

Also, if I seemed harsh, I regret it.

Homeland security is a big joke anyway! Millions of dollars are just being wasted.

were it merely Homeland Security, it wouldn’t matter….but the committee has another charge: Governmental Affairs. Google it, and you’ll get some idea of the size oand extent of the hen-house St. Barry’s loosed that lying vermin, Jaffa Joe, onto…

It seems the red and blue team expect Detroit to race quickly to the lowest global common denominator on worker pay & benefits.

I betch things will brighten up considerably AFTER the oligarchs and elites manage to kill off the UAW…
