16. Yet again!

I saw it on CNN and thought of you! :P

[KittyWampus]

24. You Are Definately In The Loop DTH!

Hope this is the bells tolling for Joe.

[edzontar]

4. Good.

Maybe Joe will take a "Dem bashing" deferral now.

Or maybe the RNC could loan him some cash.

[KittyWampus]

5. Please Heaven, May This Be True

Down with Marcus, Lieberman and Bush! Although not in that order.

6. English translation:

We don't have any money to run our campaign with anymore!

[KittyWampus]

7. Who Do You Think He'd Endorse?

:D

[knight_of_the_star]

8. I hope not Wes

Knowing how Lieberman has been in his campaign and the 2000 campaign, I wouldn't want his endorsement if he PAID me to take it!

[Don Claybrook]

9. Gephardt, eventually. Maybe Edwards. n/t

[BiggJawn]

10. Bush.

Hell, he admires the Chimp so damn much.

[Jacobin]

11. Bush, of course. He already has, practically

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

20. No clue

I literally could not guess who he would endorse if my life depended on it.

[Lefta Dissenter]

23. probably not Gore...

oh that's right, he's not running...

[Missy Vixen]

12. Unbelievable

>CNN: Lieberman has asked staffers to take a "pay deferral."<

I'll wait till this is confirmed, but if it is true, it's not great for the staffers involved.

13. Sounds Like a Rumor to Me

Nobody has posted any proof yet. So I'm dismissing it as just another campaign rumor.

[ClintonTyree]

14. What happened to the money, Joe?

It was reported that there was a HUGE influx of cash after Gore threw his support to Dean. Where the hell did the money go , Joe?

[DoveTurnedHawk]

15. Translation: Joe Lied About the "Huge" Influx?

Could it be?

DTH

[Rose Siding]

17. Weren't there reports that he paid large saleries to

family members working on his campaign?

[karlschneider]

22. Here's an old article about that (from July)

18. The LA Times reported yesterday

that the Lieberman campaign headquarters can't meet their payroll.

[KittyWampus]

25. This Thread Can Brighten Just About Anyone's Day

:)

[Tansy_Gold]

26. Can you provide a link or a cite?

I heard this rumor for the first time last week, through a semi-reliable source. Then saw it twice on DU. But I haven't been able to find a reliable citation.

I looked through the LATimes online but couldn't find anything.

Please, if anyone has anything, I would like to give confirmation one way or the other to some people who are working on the Lieberman campaign staff here in Arizona.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Uh Oh.

Sounds like the beginning of the end for Joe.

[burythehatchet]

21. It couldn't come soon enough or

happen to a nicer fella
