1. He supported McCain over Obama...
Why shouldn't they be kissing his feet to get him to join the Administration?

6. But he thinks Obama is a very nice young man
just not up to the serious job of president, unlike that addled old dofus McCain.

2. Hopefully Obama will, though.
Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 11:36 AM by Mz Pip
Why Obama would want this turncoat who supported Mac & Twit over him is beyond me. It says a lot about how different their politics are and why Lieberman would not be a good fit in the Obama Administration.

But in the spirit of bipartisanship I wouldn't be surprised of Obama takes him.

4. Nothing surprises me anymore
However, as of now Loserman is still a US Senator until 2012.

If I were the president I would offer him a job right now and after he accepted and they fill his Senate seat, I'd fire his ass.

5. He wouldn't rule out a Nobel Prize, either. Doesn't mean it would ever be offered him. n/t

8. Is he trying to insinuate that the Obama administration
should offer him a job? Boy, that's more than brazen and bold.

Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 12:30 PM by kysrsoze

21. That's immenently better than the screwing we would get
if Lieberman joined up with this already too center administration.

15. He also didn't rule out getting elected president...
...when all he had going for him was "Joe-mentum" instead of primary votes.

The man is a legend in his own mind.

16. Dick Cheney would Probably Approve of Such a Move
and so would Bob Scheiffer, George Will, Tweety, and the rest of the movers and shakers!

Sounds like a winner !!!

19. I think it would be a shrewd move by Obama and would help Lieberman
save face. It would also guarantee a Democratic Senator in CT for the next two years and give that senator a jump on the next election in 2012.
