<snip>
The McCain campaign is touting an email that Joe Lieberman sent out to McCain's list announcing a new effort that Lieberman is chairing called "Citizens for McCain," whose chief mission is to reach out to Independents and moderate Dems.

Never mind all the narcissistic boilerplate in the email about how independent Lieberman is, and focus instead on this key line...

As you know, I caucus with the Democrats as a United States Senator and was the Democrat Party's nominee for Vice-President of the United States against President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

What's so amusing is this is that it's a kind of double-slur. It's simultaneously a reminder that the Democratic Party bestowed on Lieberman the high honor of nominating him as Veep and a reminder that despite this Lieberman cheerfully continues to echo the most inane and childish of GOP attacks on that same party.

As Steve Benen cracked: "Maybe Obama needs to back him up against another wall."

1. Does he still have 4 more years?

[Warren Stupidity]

2. Warren Stupidity calls Lieberman "Stupid".

[tavalon]

3. Of course he does,

he's been assimilated by the RNC. He gets his talking points just like every other good little Repug.

[klyon]

4. that pretty much proves that the right knows better

they are doing it to be rude... I keep hearing it more and more .... it's a code word for I'm a conservative
we can leave off letters also... the republic party

[loveable liberal]

5. Lieberload? Leiberperson?

Stick fork in that guy.

[Kahuna]

6. Lieberman is a slug. November can't get here soon enough so that

he will be entirely irrelevant.

7. The fact that he was our VP nominee in 2000 goes to show...

how far off track we really were as a Party. We had definitely lost our way.

What would happen if we kicked him out of the Party tomorrow? Would that give the Repubs control of the Senate? What if we put Chuck Hagel into his old Chair?

[pansypoo53219]

8. so, lieberfuckenputz

the 'REAL' democrat in 04' is what today?

the biggest mistake in 2000. knew it when they picked that moralistic prig.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

9. I heard the amazing

Chimpy The Wonder-Chimp the other day on the TV and he said it too.

It's their idiotic way to put down the commie bastards that they think we are.

[Richard Steele]

10. In other news, Dick Steele calls Lieberman a straw-grasping vote-whore whose time has passed.

Saddest of all: Joe will be less remembered than Zell Miller.
And he's got another few decades to mull that over.

May those decades be LONG, and conductive to introspective contemplation. :toast:

[Generic Brad]

11. I forget. Is Lieberman a Republic or an Independ?

:crazy:

[DiverDave]

12. Thanks again, Connecticut

for being so smart and voting in this piece of shit repukelican...

And don't say he is an independent, he got all the support he needed to be elected from the mother fucking rnc.
At what point does no support for the rethug candidate from his own PARTY make you suspicious?

Well, we know the answer to that one, eh?

[Blue-Jay]

13. How many seats do we need in order to kick this dick into the other aisle?

2?
