25% man

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Joe Lieberman’s approval rating in Connecticut is at 25%. He has managed to alienate voters across the board, losing points with Democrats, Independents and Republicans. Quite a feat. I made the point a few months ago that his machinations on health care have been motivated by pure spite, and I think these poll results support […]

It ain’t so about Joe

Monday, December 14, 2009

There has been much weeping and gnashing of teeth about Joe Lieberman, with many trying to divine the reason for his health care obstructionism. Steve Benen at the Washington Monthly, points us to a new theory: There’s been ample speculation about what motivates Lieberman, and what compels him to be so profoundly annoying. My hunch […]

Too true

Monday, December 7, 2009

Joe made a big mistake abandoning his makeshift little party. Of course, Joe has a habit of abandoning people and things after he no longer needs them.

You heard it here first-or at least before you heard it here

Cruising toward Thanksgiving, with visitors arriving today and tomorrow, there won’t be much time for blogging. I need some time off anyway. Who knows, maybe the quality of this stuff will improve. Anyway, I noticed today that Alex Koppelman, at Salon, has endorsed Peter Beinart’s view, at the Daily Beast, that Joe Lieberman’s opposition to […]

What a shock

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

So Joe Lieberman is threatening to filibuster the public option. Some might wonder why he is taking this position, since as recently as 2006 he campaigned on a promise to give us a public option, when he promised: MediChoice to allow anybody in our country to buy into a national insurance pool like the health […]

At least he didn’t kiss him

Thursday, February 26, 2009

Check this out at My Left Nutmeg. I’m with one of the commenters. This looks more like supplication than a mutual embrace. God, Lieberman is a toad.

Lieberman again

Friday, February 6, 2009

Joe Lieberman is becoming a parody of himself. The full story is here at the Washington Monthly. Here’s the synopsis. Every time Congress passes a law providing funds for school construction (including universities and colleges) it includes language that is probably constitutionally required: that none of the funds go toward constructing anything that is primarily […]

Joe being Joe

Thursday, February 5, 2009

Remember how Joe Lieberman told us all that he wanted to help Barack Obama succeed? Take a look at how “our” Senator has been voting on the stimulus amendments. (from Nate Silver): It’s probably best to click on the image and see it full size in another window. A silver lining: Nate says that the […]

Our funny Senator

Sunday, February 1, 2009

Lieberman jokes about waterboarding (via Think Progress): More from Senator Lieberman: ‘We had hoped Vice President Cheney would be here tonight. I hope it’s not his back injury that’s keeping him away.Apparently, he hurt it moving some things out of his office. Personally, I had no idea that waterboards were so heavy. It might be […]
