Joe the Traitor to lose his gavel

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Looks like the Democrats are going to strip Lieberman of his committee chairmanship. Lieberman, a former Democrat who supports Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president, is likely to lose his gavel on the Homeland Security Committee he has chaired since January 2007, say the sources who see him being replaced by Sen. Daniel Akaka (Hawaii), […]

Put Joe on Probation

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

It is becoming increasingly likely that the difference between a filibuster proof Senate and a filibuster susceptible Senate will be Joe Lieberman. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished against. We have to start thinking about this. I submit the following. First, I think Lieberman will resign and join right wing think tank, but […]

Joe can’t eat with the Dems anymore

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

Harry Reid may or may not have kicked Joe Lieberman out of the Democrat’s dining room. It’s a small step, but hardly gratifying enough, especially considering the fact that Reid’s spokesman is now denying it. If a similar situation occurred on the Republican side we wouldn’t be talking about dining rooms, we’d be hearing about […]

But John Hagee likes him

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Via Atrios, from the Huffington Post: If Barack Obama has a problem among Jewish voters, then Sen. Joseph Lieberman is in monumental trouble. Among the most high-profile Jews in Congress, Lieberman is viewed far more unfavorably than the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to a new poll. Only 37 percent of Jews view the Connecticut Independent […]

Hagee running interference for Lieberman?

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Via Think Progress we learn that John Hagee’s lawyers have demanded that youtube remove almost 120 videos featuring John McCain and Joe Lieberman’s favorite bigot. The lawyers are claiming copyright infringement, but in fact they appear to be exploiting a loophole in youtube’s policies in order to dampen viewership about Hagee as we approach the […]

Joe Must Go

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

As per the previous post, Chris Dodd has done Connecticut proud. It’s almost enough to help us forget that other Connecticut Senator. But not quite. Take a moment to go here and sign the petition, not that it will do much good. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecr-QvOukfM[/youtube]

Josh Marshall on Joe’s future

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

In my continuing quest to lose my bet with MZ, I submit herewith a new video from Josh Marshall about everyone’s favorite cockroach: Joe Lieberman: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0HOKDIj5a8[/youtube] This is a pretty good explanation of the way things stand right now, and the (hopefully) probable course in the future. Of course, true satisfaction, sublime schadenfreude, can only […]

Sleaze

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

According to Joe Lieberman’s people Obama was engaging in “sleazy” tactics when he let it be known that he gave Joe a talking to about, among other things, Joe’s “half-hearted denials of the false rumors that Obama is a Muslim”. Apparently it is not, in the current political environment, sleazy to insinuate that a candidate […]

Another fraud from Merrill and more hate from Hagee

Monday, June 2, 2008

File this one as miscellaneous fulminations. A couple of things caught my eye this morning as I used up some of my employer’s valuable time cruising the blogs. First, if you thought that the subprime meltdown taught the big banks anything, disabuse yourself. Atrios relates that Merrill Lynch is using an accounting trick to artificially […]

Another Lieberman Lie exposed

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Joe Lieberman is a man of integrity. Just ask anyone, as long as the person you are asking is Joe Lieberman. He’ll tell you. He would never, for instance, accuse anyone of something on the basis of exactly no evidence, would he? Well, as we all know, he would, as long as that person is […]
