Lieberman On Lamont's Dems: "I'll Forgive Them. I Probably Won't Forget"..

[ariesgem]

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is willing to forgive but not forget Chris Dodd and others who abandoned him after he lost the Democratic primary to Ned Lamont and became a petitioning candidate.

In an online interview this week with PajamasMedia, conducted by novelist and screenwriter Roger L. Simon, Lieberman was asked about the break with his old allies.

snip.....

"I'm talking specifically about Chris Dodd, Al Gore, Ted Kennedy, people like that, none of whom are supporting your campaign," Simon asked. "How do you feel about that? And will you be able to forgive them?

"Oh, I'll forgive them. I probably won't forget, to tell you the truth," Lieberman replied. "And, you know, this is politics. And it's been disappointing."

Asshole.

[SammyWinstonJack]

2. Oh that's rich coming from him!

:rofl:

[joemurphy]

3. How noble of you, Sen. Lieberman! Bless you! Bless you!

*tears welling up in my eyes*

[Superman Returns]

4. maybe im missing something

he LOST THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY! why should he continue to get support? Lamont won fair and square to become the Democratic candidate. You dont own that seat Lieberman!

[Warren DeMontague]

5. They're not "Lamont's Dems". They're the Democratic Party.

Joe is no longer a Democrat. It's not up to him to forgive, it's up to him to accept the results of the primary and get out of the race.

[marmar]

6. Traitor Joe has got a lot of nerve...

:nopity:

[CarbonDate]

7. As always, it's ALL ABOUT HIM.

Again, nothing new from this turd.

[Straight Shooter]

8. We don't need your steenkin' forgiveness, Joe.

And, by the way, you should be groveling on your hands and knees begging forgiveness of Al Gore for capitulating so quickly in 2000.

[kohodog]

9. I will not forgive Joe.

But he will lose imho. Schlesinger may only be polling at 5%, but there is no way a republican candidate will receive less than 20%. No way. So Lamont will win by a minimum of 5% if the Quinnipac poll is correct. Zogby has it as a toss up so Lamont should win soundly.

Bye Joe. I won't miss you. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

17. I SO HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT

because if this sick fuck wins - who I HATED BEYOND BELIEF before the primary - and I HATE TEN TIMES AS MUCH NOW for doing this - I will be depressed for months - PLEASE NED PLEASE PULL THIS OUT and send that pathetic ass into retirement.....

You know truthfully I don't know how any Dem could support this man - I mean Dem voter - he lost the primary and is showing COMPLETE contempt and disrespect for the voters - oh my god it makes my blood boil....

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. We'll forget you, Joe. We don't need to forgive you.

What did he want for kissing Republican butt?

a cookie?

[Kierkegaard]

11. Interesting question:

"...how do you feel..." and, in the same sentence "...will you be able to forgive..." If the interviewer didn't already know the answer to the first questions, how did they know to ask the second?

Additionally, F*** YOU, JOE! You mentally deficient shitbird...

[Kali]

12. what an ass

[Larkspur]

13. I'll never forgive Lieberman

He's a war criminal along with Bush & Cheney.

[Pushed To The Left]

14. How would Lieberman feel if he had won the primary

and Lamont decided to run as an Independent against him? I don't think he would like it one bit. Since when did Democrats supporting the Democratic candidate become controversial?

[Beelzebud]

15. Hey Joe.. Go fuck yourself you ignorant whore.

[tabasco]

16. Holy Joe forgives all !

Except saying bad things about Bush !

Don't you dare badmouth the phony cowboy or Joe will throw a hissy fit !

[Malikshah]

18. Malikshah to CT voters for Joementum.... I will neither forgive nor forget

should you bring this war-mongering torture fetishist back.

[Greeby]

19. Nasty Democwats weft me on my own

:evilgrin:

[Generic Other]

20. Isn't he supposed to be begging FOR forgiveness?

I'm so confused.

:crazy:

[Nikki Stone 1]

21. Joe, you LOST the primary, dude. No Dem has any reason to support you

When other people lose primaries, they go back home and regroup. You declared war on the party. You are now no longer a Democrat. And you are in no place to talk about forgiving anybody as YOU are the one in the wrong.

[VeggieTart]

22. Oh, take a flying leap, Lieberman

After the primary is over, the rest of the party supports THE PERSON WHO WON THE PRIMARY. Like, duuuuuuuhhhh.:nopity:
