Turncoats and the Rs That Love Them

Posted by BRADLEY STEINBACHER on December 6 at 14:46 PM

Oliver Willis points to this latest nonsense from Senator Joe Lieberman:

Lieberman, whom the Bush administration has praised repeatedly for his war stance, defended the president. “It’s time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge he’ll be commander-in-chief for three more years,” the senator said. “We undermine the president’s credibility at our nation’s peril.”

Can we just go ahead and trade Lieberman to the Republicans for, say, a box of thumb tacks? He’s certainly not doing the Ds any good.

I would trade Sen. Joe Lieberman for a box of rusty medical tools, a three legged pomeranian, a hobo, Richard Conlin, The Newmark Building, the McDonald's dollar menu, the city if Fife, pimento olives, and a 1983 Buick Skylark. Oh, and Denny Park.

It sounds like he might finally have a contender, though: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051206/ap_on_el_se/lieberman_criticism

Sure, he used to be a Republican, but if he can stand up to GWB I'll take him.

So much for the concept of 'the loyal opposition'.

My fingers are crossed, and the Connecticutites I know (my in-laws, for the most part) will be getting an earful from me.

He has to say crap like that or they won't make him Secretary of Defense.
