Joe Lieberman's at it again

[mtnsnake]

Is this guy Republican or what?

I can't believe the amount of praise he's heaping toward the Repugs in light of the impending confirmation of Condi Rice to Secretary of State. It was sickening to hear him. They showed him on TV this morning (CNN Live) speaking and gushing over the fact that this is yet another monumental achievement in overcoming yet another American human rights barrier, considering how it's a black American woman getting such a high position. I guess it's time for us to all celebrate.

WTF? We're supposed to credit Bush for something the Democrats have preached all their lives?? Has Lieberman forgotten that it's we Democrats who've preached for equal rights all our lives, regardless of race, gender, or religion....not the Repukes....so how about enough with patting the chimp on the back, Joe, ya closet repuke.

1. Joe - the right wing propaganda media's favorite Dem.

[AlCzervik]

11. yes, just like how David Brooks is described as the

"Liberals favorite conservative" I don't recall getting to vote on either one of them.

[Maat]

2. I feel your pain.

Glad you watched - and you reported. I choose not to pollute 'my beautiful mind' with the mainstream media - especially the channel permitting Joe Lieberman to speak. He needs to go to a Rethuglican meeting and spout that bull. They'll appreciate it more.

3. Fuck you, Joe

Can we trade him for Lincoln Chaffee?

[mopaul]

8. ditto

saw him on there kissing up to condi and suggesting that a vote against her would be racist. crowing how wonderful and historical it would be to have a black woman S of S.

go AWAY JOE...we don't fucking need you.

[Katidid]

20. Ditto, Ditto, Ditto .... n/t

4. This is exactly why the Dems in Congress need to unify.

Twits like Lieberman need to be reigned in and punished by the party or simply replaced. I prefer the latter.

[Selatius]

6. Punishing politicians usually does equate to removing them from office

Just find someone in that state who is not only willing to run against him but is also a progressive and a reformer.

[Coastie for Truth]

10. What you will get to run against him

is another preppie, Yalie (bottom of the class, legacy admission), Harvard "B" school (bottom of the class, legacy admission), brainless, dry drunk, fundie, business failure - looking for a job. (We've been their once already).

Remember - that is Connecticut - where the Bush family is from.

5. Until these so-called democrats are voted out

the democratic party is null and void

7. The lizard king

Owned by Israel and owned by the Fascists and representing us.

[okieinpain]

9. even though she sucks, the repugs (bush in particular), are kicking

dems in the ass on minority appointments. they might all be evil as hell, but the repugs can claim two black SOS, a black SC justice, a hispanic AG, an asian something. pretty good for bunch of racist assholes.

[mtnsnake]

12. and it's all because of the life-long labors of Democrats that

repukes are doing this.

This is what bothered me so much about seeing Lieberman heap so much praise for a Republican "accomplishment".

[fertilizeonarbusto]

13. Theeeeeeeeeeeeeere's

no kenism like tokenism/
Like no kenism I know!!!!!!!!!!

[peacetalksforall]

15. Thanks for that!

[okieinpain]

16. token's or not. they can claim it and we can not. hell I like dean

for the chair, I really don't think anybody can do what needs to be done like he can. but it would be nice to see a hispanic, or black in that spot.

everybody is screaming fundies pushed bush over the top, but he pulled some blacks, and hispanics too.

[Dufaeth]

14. Hannity talks about supporting him

Enough said.

[Walt Starr]

17. Joe Lieberman, Republicrat or Democan?

:shrug:

[opihimoimoi]

18. Joe is morphing into a Zell.....fuck those guys.

[Southsideirish]

19. Joe "Zell" Lieberman? Time to retire man - your day is over. Let some

REAL Democrat run for your seat!

[KamaAina]

21. Earth to Joe. Come in, please. She's replacing an African American.

and his predecessor, Madeleine Albright, is female (and an immigrant to boot).

Exactly what kind of "monumental achievement" is it for the first African American female Secretary of State to be a fawning Bush** toadie who lied through her prominent teeth about everything from 9/11 to WMD?

[mtnsnake]

23. Lieberman was gushing over her not only being an African American but

an African American WOMAN. Let me tell you, Joe is really impressed with all of this.

Great point, though. Someone needs to remind Joe about Madeleine Albright, like you said.

[Al-CIAda]

22. PNAC/neo-con operative.
