Joe Lieberman Leaves Human Race, Forms Independent Species

Facing increasing opposition from within his own species, Joe Lieberman announced yesterday that he was giving up his membership in Homo Sapiens Sapiens and forming his own primate subgroup.

The new species will be known as Homo Josephus Liebermanus, or "Homentum" for short.

While it is somewhat unusual for a sitting Senator to switch species, the move was not entirely unexpected. Lieberman had been signaling his intentions for some time by engaging in such patently inhuman behavior as quashing the Senate's Katrina investigation and threatening a filibuster in support of increased troop levels in Iraq.

Members of the small Congressional Human Caucus expressed regret that Lieberman chose his current action. "We had hoped that Senator Lieberman would find a way to remain human for the duration of his term," said Senator Russ Feingold, one of the caucus' few remaining members, "but in the end, Joe just found it too difficult to reconcile his personal goals with continued participation in the human race."

For his part, Lieberman remained steadfastly upbeat about the change. "This new biological designation represents a willingness on my part to remain independent from the constraints of accepted human behavior," said Lieberman in a prepared statement. "I look forward to working across the aisle with other primates such as bonobo chimps, gibbons and Trent Lott." Lieberman then formally launched his new species with a brief male dominance display and a ceremonial tossing of his own poop.

1. Joe, Joe, I knew you were

meshuggener, but when you this past week broke your promise made back in March 15, 2006 to seek subpoenas from the White House on their performance before, during, and after Katrina,I say, "shame on you" and "may this pain of shame force you to fear being exposed for who you really are."

6. Can we ship him to another planet?

Maybe one populated with backstabbing, traitorous toads, who will recognize and accept Joe's ugly frog-face countenance as one of their own.

Oddly compelling mental image. :rofl:

18. .

Lol that pic hahaha!
He's so full of himself that he reminds me of that character from Boston Legal played by William Shatner whose trademark is to proudly tell everybody his name: "Denny Crane. Denny Crane."
The expected answer from the person he told his name would be: "Impressive!"

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

19. Brilliant!

It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud. Usually when I'm amused, I just sort of smile and wince like my teeth hurt. I actually burst out laughing at this. :applause:

[femmedem]

20. I laughed out loud, too.

Then I sent the link to My Left Nutmeg. We all hate Lieberman over there.

[jgraz]

24. My Left Nutmeg??????

65. No tongues, George.

At least while we're on camera.

[LiberalEsto]

23. HoJo for short

I heard someone call him that on the radio last week.

[jgraz]

25. Ugh...response from my RW brother

I sent this off to him, since I thought he might enjoy it (poop jokes have a long and storied history in our family). I got the following back:

It's nice to see you haven't lost your objective viewpoint in the political arena. Too bad you have to grind your axe on the reputation of a good man like Senator Lieberman. This is why your party will never win another election. You keep denagrating (sic) the best members you have.

And I shared 50% of my genes with this guy... :banghead:

[RiverStone]

27. I'm sorry your Bro...

Drank the Kool-Aid.

Of course he'd see Loserman as a good man, being the rethug he is. Ummm, how does he defend the Shrub/Shooter regime's failed disaster in Iraq?

At least y'all are still talking (emailing)!

[jgraz]

29. Hah!!! I now officially love my brother again

Check out the next response:

Let's see, he leaves the Democrats and runs as an independent, an
ostensibly neutered position in the legislature. He makes no bones about
his views on Iraq, tells his constituents exactly what he thinks, and then
they elect him. If sacrificing your power base in Washington to stand up
for your beliefs is being craven political toad, then perhaps I don't
understand the reference.

It seems to me that when it's someone like Feingold (someone with whom you
agree) it's a statesman taking an honorable position, when it's Lieberman,
he's a craven political toad. Who was it that gave me a long lecture on the
inhuman evils of hypocrisy? Hmm, obviously that couldn't have been you,
that would make you a . . . what's the word . . . hypocrite? Do you drink
heavily to drown out the cognitive dissonance in your world?

<<Please insert long rant here, and don't spare the personal attacks>>

:wow:

Before I can respond, he sends me one more:

Before you start calling me all sorts of names for my last e-mail, I was
just f-ing with you. Don't take it too seriously. :P

And that is all you need to know about the relationship I have with my brothers. No political argument is more important than a good old-fashioned chain yank.

:rofl:

[Clark2008]

39. Why your party will never win another election?

Uhh... where was your brother on Nov. 7, 2006? :shrug:

[jgraz]

45. See the post up above you

To use his words, he was "f-ing" with me. He's may be a right-winger, but he's as much of a smartass as I am.

No big change, male dominance displays and a ceremonial tossing of their own poop are standard behavior for the lovers of the Chimp.

Were you on Nyquil again? At least, I think that was you-someone posted a hilarious thingie about Mike Wallace suing Chris Wallace for his sperm a while back and they attributed it to Nyquil.
Only weed has that effect on me ;).

'other primates such as bonobo chimps, gibbons and Trent Lott'

The bonobo chimps would be MOST insulted to be classed with a species such as Trent Lott!
