Grrrrr: Lieberman: 'Everybody should listen' to Sarah Palin

[cali]

By Chris O'Meara, AP

In an interview with Newsmax.TV, Lieberman described Sen. John McCain's former running mate as "warm and likable," and warned her opponents not to dismiss her or what she has to say. The Connecticut senator, who left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, said "everybody should listen" to her.

I think ... Sarah Palin for a lot of people has become a spokesperson. People worried that government has forgotten them, that it has grown too big, that the deficit is growing too large, and in some sense that we're not being as strong as we should be in the world — Governor Palin has spoken to those concerns as much as anyone.

I do disagree with her on some of the specifics that she has said, but I think anybody who underestimates Sarah Palin as a political force in America does so at some peril, because she is speaking for a lot of people out there.

1. I have a doctor's excuse - nails on a chalkboard, jackhammers, rap music and Sarah all covered. n/t

2. Joe, Joe, Joe - you suck up not down

12. DUzy!!

:rofl:

[malaise]

27. Brilliant

Love it :rofl:

[Beetwasher]

29. Joe Sucks Anything That Blows

It's reflexive at this point.

[Contrary1]

3. "she is speaking for a lot of people out there"

I agree. Palin, like most Republicans, can talk a mile a minute, and never utter anything of substance.

[tabatha]

4. I think Lieberman is now senile.

[depakid]

36. There does seem to be something wrong with the guy

Much like there was with Zell Miller. Very likely some sort of dementia coming on.

[walldude]

5. She may "speak for a lot of people"

but she certainly does not speak for the MAJORITY. Someone needs to remind Lieberman that Palin LOST THE FUCKING ELECTION. And she certainly hasn't gotten any smarter since then.

[ConcernedCanuk]

25. W didn't represent the majority either - and he ran the USA for 8 years

.

sumthing to ponder

:freak:

[whatchamacallit]

6. How did Gore ever pick this turd? (n/t)

[jobycom]

7. That's Emperor Lieberman to you, pal.

[Dr Morbius]

8. Well, Senator, when she starts making sense I'll start listening.

Not until, thanks very much.

And don't you have some more warmongering to do anyway?

[HipChick]

9. I'll pass...Lieberman helped Palin to prep for VP debate..Newsmax is up there with Faux News..

another Republican corporate push..

[Raschel]

10. "Everybody should listen to Sarah Palin"...what a weird statement.

[LeftishBrit]

17. Only those who need their IQ lowered for some reason.

Maybe that's what's happened to Lieberman.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. ..

:argh: :banghead:

[Enrique]

13. Joe is grateful to Palin

he's no longer the worst VP pick ever.

[Z_I_Peevey]

22. !!!! Another DUzy n/t

[WI_DEM]

14. Hey Joe--McCain must think that she is more qualified than you are--he selected her instead of you

[LeftishBrit]

15. Disagrees with her on SOME of the specifics???

Uggghhhh. I always said that Blair was the clone of Lieberman, but I'm not sure that even he would say something that nutty.

[Altoid_Cyclist]

16. Actually, if laughter really is the best medicine then he has a point.

I however can't listen to her for more than a millisecond without getting a large painful headache.

[dhill926]

18. but no one should listen to Lieberman...........n/t

[Cleita]

19. Hopefully, Connecticut will put him out to pasture the next time he's

up for election.

[Blue Owl]

20. Hey Joe -- FUCK OFF

n/t

[HughMoran]

21. Lieberman is senile

He's batshit crazy :crazy:

[Initech]

23. Can we please brand this jackass as a repuke and get it over with??

:argh:

[gratuitous]

24. I don't know about "should"

But criminy sakes, it's not like we can avoid that vacuous waste of brain matter, seeing all the fawning coverage generated every time she opens her pie hole. Like a bad fart, you can't get away from her.

[Brigid]

26. "Listen to Sarah Palin?"

Why? :shrug:

And why hasn't Joe been booted out of the Democratic Party yet? :banghead:

[Arkana]

28. It's like he's actively trolling the Democratic Party now.

No one can be this fucking obtuse that isn't a registered Republican. NO ONE.

[Supersedeas]

30. Joe taking a direct shot at the President of the United States--George Stephy and Joe AIPAC must be

the only people on earth who give any credence to Bible Spice's foreign policy opinions.

[movonne]

32. Lieberman is AIPAC,,,he is just for Israel he does not give a damn

about this country...he would have us go to war with Iran to protect Israel..

[ConservativeDemocrat]

31. For All You Obama Haters Out There

Remember: This was the guy whose cloture vote he had to get to get health care passed.

Think about that the next time you start complaining that the actual health care package
our President managed to get passed doesn't live up to the one in your fantasies.

42. single payer was what I wanted.

And it's no fantasy. Every other country in the industrialized world has it or some reasonable facsimile thereof. What got passed is better than nothing -- for now -- but the job is far from done.

[ecstatic]

33. All of her "ideas" are spoon fed. She's ignorant about almost every issue

And the issues she has been spoon fed answers on, she doesn't have a deeper understanding of why she should take that stance.

So...why should I listen to her? Lieberman = ASS

[Orsino]

34. Unless you don't listen to Joe, either.

Problem solved.

[AsahinaKimi]

35. Maybe...

People should stop listening to Lieberman

[RFKHumphreyObama]

37. Joe Lieberman helped her train for the VP debates

He has no shame

[Arugula Latte]

38. Dear God,

I don't believe you exist, but, on the off chance that you, the Omnipotent Invisible Deity, are real and hovering over us in the sky, could you please send a targeted meteor to take out Joe Lieberman? Kthxbai.

[Toasterlad]

39. Are There NO Depths To Which That Douchebag Will Not Sink?

If Connecticut doesn't fire his ass in 2012, I say we kick them out of the country.

[Johonny]

40. Why does he assume we didn't listen to her?

We did listen to her. She had nothing of importance to say, then we moved on. Only a moran keeps listening to the same MT talking points and pretends they are deep, significant or even interesting. She hasn't said anything worth hearing yet. How long do we give her to come up with something? Joe must lay awake at night hoping the crickets might interrupt their chirping to discuss financial reform.

[maxsolomon]

41. Let's take this apart piece by piece:

People worried that government has forgotten them: IT NEVER CARED TOO MUCH ABOUT THE WORKING CLASS IN THE 1ST PLACE. EXCEPT FOR SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, ETC.

that it has grown too big: YES, THE MILITARY, AND IT'S PROPORTION OF THE BUDGET HAVE GROWN TOO BIG.

that the deficit is growing too large: SEE ABOVE.

in some sense that we're not being as strong as we should be in the world: WE ARE FINALLY BEING STRONG IN ANOTHER DIMENSION BESIDES MILITARISM - SEE THIS WEEK'S NUCLEAR SUMMIT.

[DiverDave]

43. CT voters better not re-elect this clown

He sure fooled you guys...gawd just as bad as ahnald.
How the hell did you pull the lever for either?

[lutefisk]

44. He's just saying that cuz she rubbed his belly. Woof, woof, good doggy...

[SalmonChantedEvening]

45. I did Joe.

And my ears have been bleeding since the very first TAWD.

She's a lot like you, the dangerous type.
