[LSK]

Was he like this 10 years ago? Didnt he used to have a very strong environmental agenda???

Is he sore because he got slaughtered in the 04 primaries???

What happened to him?

3. Money

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good bullshit.
Im in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre
Giving none away.

Huhuh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I dont know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldnt get into number 2. he was asking
Why he wasnt coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasnt coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out

4. I suspect he's from a Parallel Universe where everything is reversed.

Wait, he doesn't have a goatee does he? Oh well, back to the drawing board.

5. yes he has been a horrid shit for a long time

I had a very difficult time voting for Gore with that creep on the ticket. Since then a little research on his past activities indicates that he is one corrupt corporate toady with a major case of 51st idiocy.

6. I think Lieberman thought we were about to enter into a permanent one-party system

and, being the worm that he is, he positioned himself so as to have maximum influence in the new fascist environment. Same goes for McCain.

7. You'll have to ask one of his defenders

They used to be everyplace but now they hardly ever come out. :shrug:

10. The cash dried up after the election n/t

8. When Gore endorsed Dean, IMO

Lieberman's always been one of the most conservative of Democrats, but I think he went off the deep end when Gore endorsed Dean so quickly in 2004. Lieberman saw it as a betrayal of Gore (and in his mind, the Democratic leadership as well)because he thought he should have been the heir apparent to Gore himself as the nominee in 2004, so he went Zell Miller and aligned himself w/ the Republicans as a party.

This has all been about revenge, IMO.

9. 10 years ago Bill Clinton was President, and he was

castigated Clinton for a consensual affair. Also yukking it up about violent videos and video games.

11. I thought he was right-wing for a Dem from the beginning of his senate career

As I understand, he was elected in 1988 with the support of Bill Buckley and the National Review, and was if anything to the right of his Republican predecessor at the time. Has he really changed, or is it just that it's more crucial right at the moment due to the 1-seat senate majority?

12. I'm guessing a really bad LSD experience, but he's not talking
