The Rude Pundit: Joe Lieberman Is a Little Bitch (Brief Version)

[meegbear]

Annoying as it is, it's not surprising that Senator Joseph Lieberman is supporting the President's escalation of the Iraq war with all the breathless enthusiasm of a Kansas drag queen on her first visit to Fire Island. We knew that going in: Lierberman wants to kill more Americans because of his do or die support for...well, we're not supposed to say why because it offends delicate sensibilities, but, shhh, let's just whisper that the reason rhymes with "Jizzreal." Still and all, on Iraq, it's simply the same old sigh of "oh, look, Lieberman's blowin' the President while gettin' a reacharound from McCain."

Back in April 2006, Lieberman was all about the outrage and investigatory power of his minority position on the Homeland Security committee, issuing his mighty report of governmental fucktardery in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. And Lieberman acted like a big tough Democrat for a moment in accusing the White House of stonewalling on documents, of silencing witnesses, and of general suppression of information that might, you know, demonstrate how incompetent these incompetent boobs really are.

Now Lieberman's in the proverbial fuckin' catbird seat, chair of the committee, with a whole bunch of slavering Democrats and liberated Republicans ready to throw down with the administration, with subpoena power behind him, and what does he do? He acts like a little bitch. Says Newsweek, "Lieberman has decided not to pursue the material, according to Leslie Phillips, the senator’s chief committee spokeswoman. 'The senator now intends to focus his attention on the future security of the American people and other matters and does not expect to revisit the White House’s role in Katrina,' she told Newsweek. "

That's right: the Katrina disaster doesn't even rise to the level of "other matters." Much has been made about how much power Lieberman wields as a potential jumper from one party to the next. But much more needs to be made of his little bitch tendencies - the way he pisses himself whenever he can actually confront the bigger dogs, and not just act tough when he's yipping behind the fence.

1. He's helping to cover up impeachable offenses--that's what his whole deal with Rove was about

This is an outrage, especially for Democrats in the Gulf Coast region. An absolute outrage.

16. it's actually worse than that

It's a crime in my book. May not be something with which he can ever be charged, but it's a crime equivalent to some of what the Nazis did -- in my book.

2. The Rude one never fails to nail it.

3. Leib

I'm sorry folks. I can't even type his entire name.What a piece of shit. End of story.....where do these people come from!!!!???

4. I know it's wrong to wish this, and I don't care

But I think there's is a republican senator of a state with a democratic governor who is pretty bad off with cancer. I really want his health problems to get so bad that he has to drop out so the governor can appoint a democrat. That way we can tell Lieberman to piss off. He's going to act as a brake to whatever the democrats try to do because he really is Bush's bitch.

7. Kick his ass out the committee chair, Harry!

<---(hint hint) Hey we still have some very competent freshmen Senators who could fill in and would love to kick the President's ass.

[smoogatz]

9. Can't be done.

If Lieberman loses the Chair, he caucuses with the Republicans, guaranteed. No more Dem majority in the Senate.

11. It's true.

I hate to say it, but Jomentum is arguably the most powerful person in the Senate, because if the Dems piss him off enough, BAM - he'll hook up with the Republicans in a second. The Dems have to stroke his junk every now and then to keep that little bitch happy. Sad but true. Call it "appeasement" if you want. And don't think for a moment that he might hesitate fearing wrath from his voters. He's basically already exposed them for the fools they are for running on a platform the end the war, and now wanting to be the Surge Democrat.

17. Anyone that voted for this fucktard

and this includes anyone here on DU, needs to get a boot in the ass.

those who voted for him are MORANS! YOU WERE DUPED.

DUMBASSES, you PISS ME OFF!

[BlueCaliDem]

18. LIEberman is a LOSER, and because of those MORONS who voted for him again...

...he's made the Democrats in the Senate, and thereby also the AMERICAN PEOPLE a bunch of losers because like it or not, the Republicans still hold the majority in the Senate all because of LIEberman, and this not-so-veiled threat to "desert" to The Dark Side.

[Pachamama]
