There’s your Unity’08 candidates, folks. Enough to make me vomit in my mouth a little.
Sen. Joe Lieberman has been named a chairman of Republican presidential hopeful John McCain’s state leadership team.
Lieberman, an Independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, has endorsed the Arizona senator and campaigned for him in Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
He is heading McCain’s Connecticut campaign with Republican Rep. Christopher Shays.
George Jepsen, former state Democratic Party chairman who supported Ned Lamont’s successful challenge of Lieberman in the 2006 Democratic primary, said Lieberman’s endorsement of McCain is an affront to Democrats who believed Lieberman when he said two years ago that he was committed to helping put a Democrat in the White House in 2008.
Maybe I shouldn’t help McCain out this way, but it seems worth reminding that Lieberman as VP (which you KNOW is the next step) didn’t work out so well the last time.
There’s also some choice quotes from an interview of Lieberman in Newsweek.

It’s really the perfect match — two cartoon characters: Popeye and Elmer Fudd.
okay, NOW will the democrats strip lieberman of his chairmanship?
hahahahahaha….oh, that was a good one.
ugh.
Frist - barf bags for everyone !
I want to vomit in lieberman’s mouth
Can I be VP….please please please….
Pass me a bag, willya? I’m gonna hurl.
I wish they would strip Lieberman’s ass of everything democratic. If Lieberman’s self-serving interests were on the dow-jones….it would be through the roof. He makes me want to puke!!
color me surprised
NOT
the “Q-tip Ticket” is not far away
Enough to make me vomit in my mouth a lot. This country is being run by a bunch a slimy used car salesmen that get away with murder.
well it is for sure his last term as a senator.

Damn, you stole the words right off my keyboard.
AH! so you all realized the SOTU post was a day early ….. and all that work I put into the response of what I will hear when Bush opens his mouth gone into the miazma
CappuccettoRosso @ 3:
Not quite FRIST, seems co-FRIST a trois?? - thanks Nicole for keeping hand also on this pulse .. What a disgusting duo !! It gets more crazy by the hour.
Let’s hope McCain picks Lieberfuck for his VP candidate so he can LOSE ALL OVER again.
McCain now has Kissinger on board too.

Please Sweet Baby Jesus, can we strip him of his chairmanship and get some oversight of those bastards!!!!!!!
KUCINICH HAS DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE!!!!!
I’m a Connecticut resident. I had a preconceived
notion that somehow we nutmegs were somehow
better than most Americans when it came to intellect.
Well, we are not. In fact, myself included, rank last
in the smart department just behind the banjo player
in the movie “Deliverance.” Why? We have Joe Lieberman
as our senator. We really suck. Honest. We suck. :-(
Just think a McCain Lieberman ticket would give the Republicans a historic first too .. the first Jewish VP
and given McCains age (I didn’t bring this up Chucky did) he might be the nations first Jewish president .. oh that would be fun to see the fundie right deal with that
It would be an even more interesting race .. the Dems running the first woman or the first African American presidental candidate (provided one of them get;s the nomination) vs the first Jewish vp maybe pres.
So Joe will be 72 in 2009 and Leiberman 67
Today Pelosi and Lieberman discovered the essence of bi-partisanship I suppose. $600 checks Pelosi?? Don’t shame and humiliate this country you idi*t! The whole Europe that despite the crisis still has savings that we don’t, better wages that we don’t, stronger currency that we don’t and better socialized, non-corporate plugged structures that we don’t, is laughing right now. You know what they say? In a communist, autocratic system, the government tends to supply the population with ration cards for meat, sugar, butter, bread, you name it. Under the soviet control, you stood in line and could buy two bottles of milk per week, 12 eggs, pound of pork and half pound of beef every two weeks at most. Now these f*cked up checks to pay half of the rent. How gracious. Geez. We are an Empire for God’s sake! So have some respect and treat it as such!
Imagine… since the Americans are in Iraq basically alone now and now Speaker Pelosi has announced to the world that the Empires has to send to the V6s, V8s, 4X4s driving yet starving and impoverished Americans a ration card in a form of a temporary, targeted and timely check, imagine… the Cubans invading Holland, sending 150 thousands of Cuban troops to Holland, occupying the country, creating bases, fighting the local insurgents while the passive neighbors do nothing. Absolutely nothing. All of a sudden, the Americans in the minds of the Europeans have become like these bloody Cubans, f**k knows how the f**k they got there, it’s so bloody awkward to ask so no one says a god damn thing because Holland to France is like Iraq to Egypt, f**k knows how poor they are and how many ration cards they get, they managed to fool everyone, the invading empire had no cloths to begin with but who the f**k could have guessed, it was invading so it had to be empire, the Cubans f*****g did it so Shell is in deep f*****g shit!! Now the troops are there, good for them. The ration cards, or timely checks if you will, for the people behind the ocean are running out fast tough as all temporary things do. Luckily there is hope. To whoever it may concern: (wink, wink, your families), dear army stationed in Iraq, or Iran, wherever you are by now, we need some of that steel back so we could use it in the factories to build something. Anything, because our people are doing nothing! And stop listening to those god damn radio songs all the time, because as John McCain and his new VP Lieberman are saying boys, this Nam ain’t gonna end in 100 years, Oh yes, wait just a minute Mister Paulson, wait, wait Mister Paulson, oh, yeah, Help, I need somebody, Help, not just anybody, Help, you know I need someone, heeelp!!
How sad indeed to end up like that. F**K!!
Pelosi and Clinton as well as most of the Democratic Congressmen, you are fools and traitors for letting Bush do what he has done, because no matter what happens next, the Russians, Europeans and the rest of the world have seen it all right there. We’re f*****g immoral hypocrites and beggers. As Paul said, we may very well become a third world nation for our lies, military conquests and utter f******g mindless fiscal and foreign policy that’s a laughing stock. That’s all it is, that’s all we are! Thank you. Vote Paul or Obama 2008. V

Actually, he won the first time.
Drew @ 17:
source?
The guy who said ‘Politics makes strange bedfellows’, sure knew his sh*t.
On the other hand, they sure are a pair of bumbling, two-faced, war-mongering mendacious bastards.
When they lose here, they can keep their campaign together and try their luck in Israel.
Isn’t there some oversight work he should be tending to in the Senate instead of pressing the flesh on the campaign trail for someone else? Why is he allowed to skip his duties to work for McCain’s campaign?
Look out Iran!
jones @ 21:
Drew @ 17:
I knew he would yesterday. He sent and email out to all those who donated to his pres campaign asking us to donate to his copngressional campaign - it says he’s really in trouble and the Repubs are gunning for him
I guess it’s appropriate. They’ve both shared the President’s kisses.

From the day McCain tossed his hat in the ring, I predicted his running mate would be Lieberman. Remember they have been BFF since they vacationed in Iraq that time.

Every media outlet in the US
jones @ 28:
Thanks. Sad Day.
Conn. voters, tell your Senator to get back to work and stop fucking around with his boyfriend.
pissed off patricia @ 31:
Haven’t been paying too much attention today. Just starting to catch up.
Trader Joe kissed the face of Bush and LOST his democratic seat
NOW ITS GONE FOR GOOD..h a ah ah ha ha hah hahaha
Joe has joined the party of traitors and turn coats……..
to think he ran with GORE and lost to Bush cheaters in Florida
this is a carreer politician and will do and say ANYTHING to get fools to vote for him..
The Evangelical Christian vote is much more important for the Republicans than the Jewish vote is.
They can’t win the election without the Evangelicals, without the Jews, no problem.
Which is why, if McCain manages to go the distance that he’ll likely pick Huckabee as his running mate and not Holy Joe.
I posted this elsewhere on this site earlier today, but for those of you out there that think that it’s the Dems election to lose this year and believe that a McCain/Huckabee ticket doesn’t stand a chance, let’s not forget that in 1968 the good people of America, in their infinite wisdom picked Richard Milhouse Nixon and Spiro Agnew to lead this country.
Don’t think something like that can happen again?
I wouldn’t bet on it.
~Nyc
Another lose - lose pair. :(
Why is this country looking for and finding a bunch of losers?
What happened to America? It appears that we are more ‘america’ than ‘America’.
I have lost all respect for it. Of course I’m middle class heading toward lower class as I go.
jones @ 32:
Well, not really…
On the upside if Paul gets the nom, he will probably have Kucinich as a running mate.
If McCain and Lieberman are teaming up, I think Paul/Kucinich would be able to beat them.
Lieberman is a two headed snake, no one should be glad to have him on their side.
Drew @ 38:
that would truly be sad. Paul and Kucinich couldn’t be further apart.
Dustin de Wynde @ 36:
I think Huckabee damaged himself too much with his religious and change the constitution comments for McCain to choose him .. he would loose those mainstream country club republicans who are afraid of the bohemoth they created in the religious right.
jones @ 40:
Oh.\, was that snark?
Gotta hit these suckers with the true facts and calls for investigations into things like criminality described by Sibel Edmonds, investigations into the astounding anomalies surrounding 9/11 etc.
Hit these geeks with the truth and take them out.
craigc @ 39:
I think Lieberman joined McCain so that he can teach him geopolitics.
McCain thinks Vladimir Putin is the President of Germany. I’m not kidding:

jones @ 40:
I don’t think you know them as well as you think. Kucinich has said in the past he would like to have Paul as a running mate. They’re friends after all…
Looking at a Lieberman/McCain team is like watching Hitler and Mussolini.
Thar sHE blows!!!!!
Who are we kidding? In ReidR
