Per CNN- Joe Lieberman to be interviewed for FBI chief

[demmiblue]

Oy!

[Vinca]

1. He's a fool so he'll probably take it.

[TheBlackAdder]

54. Wasn't Lieberman the guy who wanted to move out of the USA and live in Israel when he retired?

.


Someone who wants to abandon the USA should not be placed as head of a US Intel agency.

[Madam45for2923]

2. Yay DEmented! Why not!

[gademocrat7]

3. Oh please.

Joe Lieberman is too feeble to be director of the FBI.

[lpbk2713]

4. I thought we heard the last of that loser.

Apparently Trump is down to scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Blechhh.... He's probably being suggested as a "noncontroversial"

or nonpartisan candidate for the job, since he was into that "No Labels" thing. But I wonder if Dolt 45 would approve, since Joe eventually did endorse Hillary, and Himself demands total loyalty.

[MontanaMama]

6. We could do worse.

He's a slimy one but we all know the depths of what is out there.

14. Lindsay Graham loves Lieberman. I am sure he will change his mind. (eom)

[octoberlib]

16. We'll see. He was all over the networks Sunday saying it needs to be someone with experience in

law enforcement who's independent of politics. Who knows, maybe Graham recommended Lieberman.

[demmiblue]

21. So does McCain. n/t

[zipplewrath]

15. Hate to agree

But twice a day you can't argue with a broken clock. It would seem that SOME law enforcement background/experience should be involved. I mean, isn't that one complaint about Betsy Devos?

[octoberlib]

18. I don't think FBI agents will have any respect for somebody who didn't come up through ranks.

[zipplewrath]

19. A few other backgrounds

I suspect certain large metro area PC's might get a break. Maybe someone with certain military backgrounds. And a few AG's might get a pass as well. But some guy whose entire career is elected office probably won't make the cut.

[Ilsa]

22. I think Sen. Graham is right. A former agent, perhaps,

not some creepy sheriff that gets his kicks off torturing prisoners.

[Justice]

43. Not law enforcement but he was CT Attorney General from 1983 to 1989

Just in the interest of complete disclosure

[Freethinker65]

8. Zell Miller might be available too

[L. Coyote]

9. Wow, are they ever getting desperate now.

At least they already know he's a traitor.

[oasis]

10. Please, no more flakey, flip flopping, jellyfish. nt

[hedda_foil]

11. Just heard it on MSNBC. My reaction? Oy gevalt, not that Schmeikeler shtick drek.

[kstewart33]

12. Absolutely not.

Uncle Joe is not a straight player. As Al Gore's vice president in the 2000 presidential race, Joe Lieberman damaged Gore's campaign especially in the closing weeks before the vote. His performance was terrible in the VP debate with Cheney, who creamed him.

He burned bridges later in his career with his self-obsessed petulant behavior. You don't hear a peep from Joe any more, with good reason.

He is more Republican than Democrat, and he would be a complete disaster as FBI Director. I hope the Dems have a long memory and will reject him outright.

I'd be very interested in knowing who pushed him for the job.

[Alice11111]

52. I think Repubs are desperate for some stooge who might help DT or can be bought

He's definitely not qualified for this job. He was losing it years ago.

They want an ass kisser for Sessions.

[Blue_Adept]

13. Trump will gain some serious Joementum if it happens!!

24. That is one of the more perplexing aspects of this. n/t

[janterry]

31. all we have to do is get that tweet under little trumps fingers

n/t

[bettyellen]

40. I think he's Cheese to catch Dems saying they'd take a partisan pol as FBI head. Just NO.

[TDale313]

20. Well, at least he's not a Partisan hack

The only party he has any loyalty to is the Joe Lieberman party.

[Xipe Totec]

23. Well smack my ass and call me Isadore nt

[demmiblue]

25. Hi Isadore!

[Xipe Totec]

45. Not so hard. You crashed the server. nt

37. Where is Is? Oh, there you are! (Inside family joke.)

Oy veh Gefilte Fish.
Ai Chihuahua.
Holy Guacamole.
Lieberman??
I yam stuck in derealization since 08 November.
I sign every petition that comes down the pike.
Donating small amounts daily, Jon Ossoff, Rob Quist, etc. I don't live there!
Wrote to our 'r' senator and rep. (the one that just collapsed). Wrote to Jeff Merkley, wrote to Mark Warner, twice.
I yam gettin' frizzled.
Feeling my chronological age a tad.
Only thing saving, 'it's' gathering.
Then, mb, "thar she bllows!".
Hello ev'body. 😌

33. I just vomited in my mouth.

EVERY time I get upset about the ACA repeal and everything our country is enduring right now, I remember that Holy Joe and his refusal to support the public option is the reason we had Obamacare in the first place. I really hope that old SOB reaps his harvest where we all can watch it happen.

Maybe he should hitch his wagon to the orange assailant--that might just give him the path to his own downfall. This is me spitting on the floor.

35. What qualifications does he have for that job?

Poor choice, if you ask me.

[pansypoo53219]

36. lieberfruckenputz can't work on Saturday.

38. Lieberman always makes me think of this guy

Droopy is probably more qualified

42. Yes it is beyond imagining that any Democrat would vote for him.

[Nanjeanne]

41. Joe LIEberman the worst thing to happen to CT.

Hated by almost every Dem in our state. After being rejected by Dems in primary, bastard entered as Ind and win seat by Repubs voting for him over the crap R candidate. That plus his corporate insurance pals and WS Greenwich billionaires returned him to the Senate. And the squashes of the Medicare opening up to 50 and over which would have led to Medicare 4 All during the initial ACA Senate negotiations after the House bill had included the public option.

A stain on our State. For any Democrat to support him is unconscionable.

Don't answer that.

47. What? Sarah Palin's not on the list?

[AgadorSparticus]

48. Wait. Is he even smart enough? He never struck me as being...

Heavily endowed upstairs.

[Warren DeMontague]

50. He's proven that he can get indignant over presidential misbehavior

As long as it involves a blowjob between two consenting adults.

[Warren DeMontague]

49. Was Dan Quayle not available?

[NanceGreggs]

51. I've always maintained ...

... that Lieberman would have made a good Dem VP - because he's always loyal to the master who gave him the job.

If he takes a job from Trump, he'll be loyal to the master who gave him the job.

[Soxfan58]

53. A little reward

For being a fucking turn coat

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

55. Can we trust him not to go scurrying back to Trump

with inside dope from the FBI investigation? I sure don't. Right now he works for a law firm that represents some of Trump's business.

56. Don't forget the real story here:
