Sorry Joe, I won’t go

Thursday, January 15, 2009

I’m not so stupid as I expect that Joe Courtney really expects me to make it to Washington to join him and the rest of the Connecticut delegation to celebrate the Obama inauguration, but must we yokels be insulted by having Joe Lieberman’s name on the list of people “celebrating” Obama’s inauguration. This merely adds […]

Connecticut going soft on Joe?

Monday, December 15, 2008

According to the Courant, Connecticut Democrats are about to go squishy on Joe Lieberman. [A]censure resolution drafted in September, when Lieberman still was jetting about with John McCain and Sarah Palin, is getting a rewrite before this week’s Democratic State Central Committee meeting. “We’re in the process of updating the resolution to be more reflective […]

Update

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Last night I claimed victory in the Lieberman bet I made with a friend so many months ago. (To recap: I bet that the Dems would not bounce Lieberman as committee chair even if they got 57 members in the caucus.) Last night, I invited my opposite number to concede defeat. Well, yesterday I was […]

I’m declaring victory

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

It is with unmixed sadness that I must claim victory in my bet with a sometime liberal drinker. Almost a year ago I bet him that the Democrats would not strip Joe Lieberman of his chairmanships, even if they won 57 seats. I even unilaterally changed the rules to exclude Lieberman from the count. It’ […]

Rachel Maddow states the obvious

Friday, November 14, 2008

Only in America (one has to hope) does someone stating the reap such attention as Rachel Maddow has with this, which is all over the internets: Lieberman is a bitter, desiccated old man. He will miss no opportunity to wreak vengeance on the Democrats, who he believes have done him wrong. They’d be better off […]

This may load slowly. I’m guessing it’s being heavily viewed.

Betting Update

Monday, November 10, 2008

Many months ago (back in March) I wrote about a bet I made with a friend of mine. I bet that the Democrats would not cut Joe Lieberman loose (by taking away his committee assignments), even if they got 57 or more Senates seats. I lose the bet if he loses his committees, whatever the […]

Whither Joe?

Sunday, November 9, 2008

It’s a little difficult to figure out exactly what’s going on so far as Lieberman is concerned. I know some people thing Harry Reid is showing signs of weakness, based on a recent interview with John King, but I’m not so sure. There is apparently a log going on behind the scenes. Some of it’s […]

Post election depression

Friday, November 7, 2008

Prior to elections, readership on political blogs, even backwater blogs like this, spikes. Once the election is over, they plummet. So the sad fact is that not too many people are likely to read this post, and truth be told, I’m out of things to say. I can’t even bring myself to trash Lieberman, which […]

Lieberman must be destroyed

Thursday, November 6, 2008

Harry Reid threatened his chairmanship and he’s threatening to go to the dark side. Let him go. He is a bitter, self centered liar. Even if we needed his vote to make 60 caucus members he would not be worth keeping. Once he got waht he wanted, he would immediately turn on the Democrats again. […]
