No Lunch for Lieberman.
By bluegal Monday Sep 08, 2008 8:00pm
Unless McCain's buyin'. Roll Call reports "Lieberman Unwelcome at [Democratic] Party Lunches."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) have agreed that Lieberman will no longer attend Democrats’ weekly caucus lunches or the biweekly chairmen’s lunches used to formulate policy, senior Democratic aides said Tuesday.
Kicking Lieberman out of the party altogether is a very good reason to vote for Democratic Senate candidates this November.

Good riddance to the doughy Keebler Elf (R-Likud).
I hope Lieberman likes Alaska so much that he builds an igloo and stays there. Then he can convert just before Jesus arrives at Palin's wack job church.
Dear Joe, if you're ever in Los Angeles give me a call, I'll have lunch with you.
While we're dining, please enlighten me about your position on Israel and Muslim countries. There seems to be a bias there.
I just re-read that. HOLY CRAP!! They were discussing party strategy with this guy up until now? Reid ought to be sued in civil court for gross incompetence if that is the case.
It would be rather moronic to allow a traitor that spoke at and endorsed WcCain/Palin at the RNC affair,
to listen in on Democratic policy meetings, you just know that everything would get back to the RNC.
I don't know who I hate more right now; the idiot Dems in Connecticut or McCon's "white women voters."
This is way too late to do any good.
Abraham Jackemoff @ 4:
And we wonder why Gore and Kerry lost 2000/2004...
you think when they first brought it up, lieberman had the balls to act surprised and hurt? "What? Why not?!"
Soon enough, it'll be "NO JOB for LIEberman!"
Hey Joe. You can't eat by me you Mother F@#$ing tratior............
This should have been done a long time ago.
But, Lieberman ought to know with this move that both sides are tiring of him very quick. Along with Palin, he ought to have coffee with Katherine Harris in order to get the straight dope on what the RNC does to those they treat like a cheap toy.
Good riddance; and please take Pelosi and Reid with you when you leave.
But why is Joe smiling? Meet the new Secretary of Defense...
Lieberman can go suck repug d*ck.
Crossover already.
Gee, they're not letting him eat at the Democratic kids' table. I'm sure the exclusion made him cry.
The fucker's gotten everything he wanted. The Democrats gave it to him. He did nothing but indicate that he would continue to betray us at every turn, and the Democrats still acted like he was one of them. And now they won't eat with him? Should I care?
I understand that the delicate balance of power in the Senate required working with him. But the give and take has never been mutual. He just takes. They should have backed him into a lot more corners, and called his bluff a lot more often.
When the Democrats have a genuine majority next year, he should be kicked out of the caucus altogether, stripped of all seniority, and relegated to a basement office. If they do that, I'll take notice. Otherwise, when these idiots who didn't see the Republican Convention speech coming refuse to eat with Lie-to-Dems, they can all eat crow.
Joe Lieberman is a diaper. Watch the repukes crap on him and throw his ass in the garbage.
Why in Hell did it take so long for this? Do we really have to wait for traitors to ask to leave before they are no longer welcome?
Freddy Knuckles @ 6:
Ain't that the truth!?! Damn, wake up people!! What is it going to take to wake the freaking electorate up? And why has he been allowed to remain where he has for this long? Can't his constituents do a damn thing or won't they? Is it the money he brings back to them? I got questions, send me Sarah Palin, too.
Mike Malloy, next to Thom Hartmann my favorite radio host, just said the election is over, and that we'd better get used to President McInsane.
"Reid and Lieberman have agreed that Lieberman will no longer attend..."
Agreed? I'm not sure Reid had to get Lieberman's permission. I would like to think it went more like this (even though I know that Reid is too deferential to do this)...
Reid: Hey, uh Joe...
Lieberman: Yeah?
Reid: You know that stunt you pulled last week... the one where you spoke at the GOP convention?
Lieberman: Yes, I was working to bring us together in an independent and bi-partis-
Reid (interrupting): Joe. Shut up. You're out. You're no longer on our side. Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Let him eat moose.
whoopdie-f***in-do !!!!! I'm sure Reid and the rest of the Dems won't let him play in anymore reindeer games either.
Meantime, lets all rejoice at the Dems getting together behind their leadership and backing off-shore drilling. You know, the kind that will solve our oil problems RIGHT NOW.....if, by right now they mean in ten years.
Now if we could just get him out of the Senate all together.
I am getting tired of all these hosebags. When do we get rid of the rest of the jerks in Congress? Two or four more years?
outtheoffice @ 17:
I'd have probably phrased that a little differently, but it sort of reminds me of Kamenev and Zonoviev throwing their support behind Stalin because they were afraid of Trotsky becoming too strong -- and then they wound up dead for playing nice with the shark. Mr. Lieberman is clearly not seeing the cold, black, icy stare of the GOP sharks as they use him, knowing that in 2012, they will try to toss him out on his butt for a conservative who will always vote their way.
The Very Bitter Ceci Hussein @ 12:
Ralph Gonzales and his buddy spring to mind also.
You know the best way to fight these guys? MONEY.
If you haven't already,
GO DONATE TO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN.
NOW.
ChrisM70 @ 28:
DAMN STRAIGHT!! GO DONATE!1
...........NEOCON......with a warmongering agenda
[I see you're back. Is everything working for you now? Sitemonitor]
GIVE MONEY -
Any Amount $5 - $20...whatever you can.
The only thing that seems to matter is money, and that money can
buy ads to fight the GOP smears.
freebird9 @ 29:
DO IT OR WE BLEW IT!!
I rather vote for a Cinthia Mckinney than Obama or McCain.
oz @ 33:
oz = troll who can't spell.
Sarah Palin Nude?

actor212 @ 35:
You do know that these kind of rumors just help the Republicans, don't you?
oz @ 33:
go for it we won't stop you........i've never seen cinthia
spelled that way
actor212 @ 35:
School picture?
yeah ! but maby tv will be better next year!
oz @ 33:
Well that's a real smart move there, oz. NOT!!
Haven't you ever heard of the Supreme Court?
Want it packed with more Clarence Thomases?
"Cause thats what you are really voting for if you waste a vote for McKinney.
Obama is another warmonger and I'm not a troll. If you feel like being treated like you matter to them every four years be my guest.
ChrisM70 @ 28:
yeah thats it! money! why couldnt somebody have thought of that money !we,ll ill be damned!
timothy @ 18:
No doubt. It's too little, too late.
However, whatever votes he promised Reid likely allowed him to linger longer than he should have
"A Reid spokesman angrily denied that the Majority Leader had booted Lieberman from lunches"
Oh perish the thought.That would be so uncivilized.
They should fire him out of a cannon.
BigIslandDave @ 20:
I'm an Air America fan but I never listen to Malloy's program. He says a lot that don't mean shit.
They don't need him now , by calling him a democrat he helped give them the majority in the senate and control over all the committees. They are hoping to have a net gain of at least five seats after the elections.
Ron @ 39:
Doesn't even look like her.
he should've been forced out long ago.
Kai @ 48:
Did you go to school with her? Which of the schools did you go to school with her?
pinkobait @ 45:
BWAHAHAHA! Thanks I needed a good laugh. I see we have "friends" among us. The paid pipers are here!!
Ron @ 50:
why is that even relevant, this person was just giving an opinion that IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE HER
Senator Reid,
When can I come over and piss in his Iced Tea?
Please advise.
Average Joe
No free lunches for disgraced CEOs either, they F*cked up, they go out the door penniless.
Kai @ 48:
It resembles the picture I saw of her in a beauty contest.
Could be. A woman who would do anything to get ahead would pose nude and think nothing of it.
I like her that's all, just I like Cindy Sheehan. They stand for something and disassociate from group thinking and re-electionitis. Cynthia brought the heat to Rumsfeld and Myers for trillions of dollars missing in the defense department and Dyncorp involvement in sex rings (women and children), Have you guys heard of Blackwater? Watch they do every time, BRING OUT THE WEDGE ISSUES!! It was gay marriage last time and abortion will do it this time around.
how about stripping him of those precious chairmanships?
oz- You are right you are not a troll, you're just another repub posting on a progressive site.
oz @ 42:
what's that pre-self-pity? that's a first.
Professor Farnsworth @ 52:
You have to quit clicking on the link to the picture. You are becoming obsessed.
Too bad he's not the VP.
Too bad we're not all lining up right now to campaign for Holy Joe.
In a perfect world, we'd all right now be singing the praises of Joe Lieberman, hero of the Democratic party, number two man in the wildly successful Gore/Lieberman ticket.
In a perfect world, we'd be clucking with disgust at every anti-Joe talking point the Republicans would throw.
"Joe is a warmonger like Al Gore! Al Gore invaded Afghanistan after 9/11 and now Holy Joe wants to invade Iran! It's more 'Democrats Wars(tm)' like Bosnia and Vietnam!" they'd be saying and we'd be saying, "oh come ON! Gore had to go into Afghanistan and Holy Joe is just trying to keep Iran at bay!"
Yeah, wouldn't it be great? Oh, sure, there'd be a few nattering nabobs of Naderism saying that both parties are the war party.
But they'd be wrong, and we'd be right.
Too bad.

Striping him..........yuk, just the thought.......
Ron @ 46:
Malloy hasn't been in Air America for ages...
oz @ 56:
Give me a break. Stop it! YOU are trying to make a wedge issue right here. Palin is not VP material, my .02!!. Straight and simple. She sure isn't a Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not by a long shot.
pinkobait @ 45:
Damn it, don't make Reid fire one of them strong worded letters Lieberman! You can have the lunch, but one more of your shenanigans and you are getting one of them letters Liieberman. You have been warned!!!
Damn, that Reid... he doesn't pull any punches, does he?
JasonS @ 61:
Nicely done. ;)
oz @ 56:
STFU , fraud.
By the way, Obama/Biden 08

Calm down everyone...Harry's already backing down...

(sniffing the air expectantly) Why that smells somewhat Dr. Lauraesque to me. Heady aroma, nice body, hand caught in the cookie jar.

just put reid in front of a mike and watch that chin action. he can square his jaw like nobody's business.
ChrisM70 @ 28:
I'll donate when he shows a freaking backbone. Until then, blah, blah, blah.
Jeebus, he wouldn't even call the Con's lies lies. Looks like the Dem "leaders" have let another election slip through their cowardly fingers. And, just like 2004, it was theirs for the taking.
Tyler Durden @ 64:
that hasn't stopped him from being irrational at times

Lieberman is lucky he is in the senate, else he would have to face the wrath of Pelosi. And she is a tough cookie..
God am I ever so happy I am an independent...

Hee, hee. Yes! Skeksees! Love it! Dark Crystal one of my favorites btw.
Freddy Knuckles @ 73:
You are right. They have got to get mean and nasty like the R's and fight like that. Call them out for what they are--Crooks and Liars.
Obama has to take off the gloves and face these folks and call them exactly what they are.
Freddy Knuckles @ 73:
One problem. Lou slobbs and Howie Kurtsey are among those fux wannabees who would love to paint Obama as angry. I think Obie is about to pull a raygun on them. we'll see, of course.
lieberman talks like he's a self-righteous pompous ass, but he's just suffering from chronic constipation. btw, speaking of senators, where the hell is joe biden?
freebird9 @ 77:
But see, that would enrage the right wing voting block. You know the same people who would never vote democrat, much less a black person. So it is paramount for the Dems not to enrage the voting block that will never vote for them.
Don't ask according to the DLC it makes perfect sense... and they sure know how to win elections. Ask Gore!
Reid is such a A-hole. He is one big reason why Democrats can't win. The PC police came and told him that Leibermouth was about to cry and we can't have that. Dems are so weak it is sickening. When are they going to wake up and fight for what they believe in? Repubs learned along time ago how to win. Democrats are still hand wringing over weather what they say or do is PC correct.
Dear Joe, let's "do lunch."
I've got some great ideas for improving the middle east situation, although you may not want to hear ideas different than the Israel parliament.
It's never too early for Ned Lamont to begin his 2012 campaign....
rick street @ 79:
are you looking for biden in the msm? the sclm? please use the internet tubes.
Dhalgren @ 83:
I hope ned doesn't get sabotaged by hillary like last time.

People who open their mouth and shit flies out should not have constipation.
An Average Joe @ 53:
As soon as his glass of tea is empty. He won't notice the difference...
No caucus lunches for Lieberman? Whoop-de-friggin-doo.
Come to think of it, if I were Lieberman, I would probably be grateful not to have to listen to Harry Reid's voice and listen to the inane strategies coming out of the lunches.
I'm sure the Repubs have just laughed at the info Lieberman brings back to them concerning these Dem strategies. Laughed and pretended they didn't have a pen and pad to write down the "brilliant" strategies.
If Harry Reid had a spine, he would cause real damage - take away Lieberman's chairmanships. But he doesn't, so he won't.
CoIntelPro for Pronktastic Victory Over SCLM, DIEBOLD, ESS and SEQUOIA! @ 85:
Both Clinton and Obama supported Lieberman, go figure.
Dhalgren @ 83:
I don't know if this country can wait until 2012. What do you think?
ChrisM70 @ 37:
Silly wabbit, that's not a rumor, that's a picture. We can have fun watching them try to prove that picture isn't dear Sarah. I mean isn't that one of Karl's favorite ploys? "Senator Obama, prove to us you're not a Muslim," well now Sarah can prove to us that she didn't pose nude for a picture. I'm sure lots of people still remember dear Dr. Laura's portfolio so it's not really going to be a stretch to imagine little Sarah (and I do mean little, whoever is in that picture needs to find something to eat) might have posed for something a little risque in her wild and crazy youth.

i'm looking for him in the campaign for president/vp 2008, remember? i haven't seen or heard about him in the news for the past couple days.
Thank goodness that Benedict Arnold was not welcome no more.
Poor Joe, He took the gamble and lost. After McCain tossed him under the bus for "Religious-Right-Wing Palin", he's is now on the loser list. Serves him right. By backing McCain, he spit in everything the Democrats have worked for.(I say that with a grain of salt, because the Dems suck too.) Now McCain doesn't need him anymore, Has he resorted to the status of Tom Delay? Well Tom is pretty much useless.

Don't do this you all. IT IS ABOUT THE ISSUES. This is noise folks, noise!!!
ChrisM70 @ 28:
Obama's campaign has proven they don't know what to do with any money you give them. If he opens up the 527's, then donate to them. Your money will be better spent, and Obama would actually have a better chance winning.
