Joe Lieberman just criticized Negroponte's appointment!

[Padraig18]

He said "I thought that the first DNI should be someone with in-depth understanding of the intelligence community, something Ambassador Negroponte does not have."

:wow:

[ElectroPrincess]

Be still my heart, the planets must be aligning. eom

[Roland99]

1. Is there to a be a vote for confirmation of this position?

If so, I'm sure Joe will rollover and vote Yea.

[CatWoman]

2. *thud*

I just fainted :D

[n2mark]

21. Am I having reading problems?

[sasquatch]

3. "Who are you, what did you do with Joe you Alien freak?!?"

:wow:

[Padraig18]

6. LOL!

:silly:

[aintitfunny]

4. He must have a fever (n/t)

[bunkerbuster1]

5. Cool.

I never hated Joe as much as the average DUer.

He can still redeem himself, especially if he hangs tough on SS.

[Padraig18]

8. I never hated Joe, either.

Joe's a rock-solid progressive who hapens to be a military and foreign-policy hawk, which some folks here just can't deal with.

:shrug:

[bunkerbuster1]

9. and I'm a recovering New Republic subscriber

so there ya go.

[silvermachine]

13. And also...

...a holier-than-thou pain in the ass, misguided social critic, sanctimonious posturer, etc. The military and foreign policy hawk stuff is really great too!:eyes:

[Melodybe]

10. He's just pissed b/c the White House promised him the position

AWE Poor whore Joe, did they they screw you too?

I'll take what I can get though, Negroponte is an evil death squad organizing POS.

[ewagner]

19. That's my guess!!

Hell hath no fury like Lieberman scorned......

lol

[Neecy]

27. yep

Joe expected the position - in fact, he had some of his Repig pals in the Senate lobby for him - and now he's pissed.

I kind of wish he *had* been chosen. It would clear the way for a real Democrat to take his seat, and he probably wouldn't have been a major threat to civil liberties - I hope.

[RBHam]

7. Trust me - Holy Joe won't mention the Honduran death squads...

There is bi-partisan support to cover THAT up...

[AlCzervik]

11. Whaaaa??? Joe wandering off the farm?

[Jacobin]

12. He'll be 'slightly concerned', get his ugly mug on TV a couple of times

and then "allow the president to choose his own man"

Don't forget "THE KISS"

[eissa]

14. I just looked out my window

and saw a pig fly. I'm truly stunned. I'll eat a live octopus if he actually votes against him, though.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

15. OK

What is he smoking today? :hippie:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

16. all part of machiavellian plan by Senator Palpatine

don't trust him

---Yoda

[fertilizeonarbusto]

17. OMG, he even LOOKS like him n/t

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

24. yep

[murray hill farm]

18. Guess he got a hint....

that his own party does not think too highly of him these days...thought he might just try to say something..throw us a bone..so...yeah...lets see if he votes to follow up that statement...ya know he wont.

[regnaD kciN]

20. "Hell froze over today..."

"...and I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay.

Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory... was wrong."

[McCamy Taylor]

25. You said it!

Maybe Joe got tired of being mistaken for a Republican.

[Padraig18]

22. kick

[DancingBear]

23. 'Psst, Joe, they're thinking of going after you in the primary"

"Aw, shit, who do I have to pander to?"

"What can I do to pretend I'm really a Democrat?"

"Help!"

Good grief people, if you're looking for a poster boy for what is wrong with the Democratic Party look no further than WhichWayDoesTheWindBlowJoe.

[DefenseLawyer]

26. Was Joementum rumored as a possible candidate

for the job himself?

[Neecy]

28. yes

Although it appears the only person who put his name in the hopper was Joementum himself.
