"Swiftboat Joe" Lieberbush Demonstrates (again) His Loyalty To The GOP

[Atman]

As if any one of us had any doubt where Bush's mini-me hangs his hat, this story speaks volumes. Joe is for Joe. Period. Don't ever forget it. Fox, if you are not aware, is a businessman who helped bankroll the Swiftboat Liars for Smear. Now he claims he didn't even know where his money was going, he just gave because he's a swell guy. But look who ELSE he gave money to...

Fox Makes Friends And Foes

March 8, 2007

By DAVID LIGHTMAN, Washington Bureau Chief

WASHINGTON -- Joe Lieberman was beaming. "Sam Fox represents what America is all about," he said, "and that's why he will be, when confirmed, an extraordinary ambassador."

The scene was last week's Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Connecticut's junior senator was making a highly unusual appearance to lobby for Fox's nomination to be the U.S. ambassador to Belgium.

The day after the 2006 election, Lieberman, elected as an independent, got a $10,500 contribution from Fox and another $10,500 from Fox's wife. Both are generous GOP donors.

Lieberman dropped into Fox's confirmation hearing last week to praise the St. Louis businessman, a somewhat unorthodox step for a senator who is not a committee member.

Blogs have been full of anger. Connecticut-based MyLeftNutmeg.com got comments saying Lieberman "has absolutely no shame," while another asked, "What can we do to get Harry Reid and other Senators to put a muzzle on this idiot?"

1. Lieberman is acting like a small child

he looks ridiculous!

[blm]

2. Sam Fox was proved to be completely IGNORANT of Belgium and world affairs

and was UNQUALIFIED to be an ambassador on any level.

This is more of Lieberman's antiKerry campaign that he has been on since Kerry-Feingold withdrawal vote focused attention on Lieberman's loyalty to Bush and Lamont surged ahead of him in the primary.

4. Ignorant to the point of probably believing that Flemish means a

respiratory condition.

5. But man, those Belgians -- they make great waffles!

He tried some at the International House of Pancakes. Who says he doesn't have any experience?

3. Joe was missin' the cameras since Harry decided to drop all debate

on Iraq.

I still say they should call his bluff, dammit!!!! Chat it up to a roar in the Caucus and when he whines how he's 'unconfortable', tell him he'll be listened to but it's no longer going to be held hostage by him.
