Monday night Keith Olbermann awarded Joe Lieberman, CT’s perpetual bridesmaid, the Worst Person In the World runner-up status for his inadequate (and obvious) sucking up.
Lieberliar finally figured out there was a change in the political winds sweeping across America but has once again forgotten about the long memory of the internet. As Eli said in his Saturday morning post asking Have You No Decency Sir:
Calling your opponent a terrorist is a little more than “intemperate,” Joe. If you had anything remotely resembling the mighty moral compass that you pretend to have, you would recognize that there is absolutely no equivalence here. You smarmy, dishonest little tick.
Lieberliar’s pathetic attempt to spin and twist his well documented and very un-Senatorial contempt for Barack Obama earned him runner-up for WPITW.
Poor Lieberliar, another in a long line of always a bridesmaid, never the bride moments. Bet his talking out of both sides of his mouth has something to do with that.

Why does GOP slime like Joe always try to claim moralty as the reason for what they do? Claiming Morality does not justify their acts it just makes them seem more perverted.
We need more votes in the Senate depending on Joe to be our lynch pin gives the Spinless Oness (the Blue Dogs and the DLC) to much power Vote early if you can or Four more years of Joe messing things up for Obama is our fate!
Vote Now! you could get sick election day, there could be a snowstorm, a tornado vote now so you know that your vote is there against McCain and Holy Joe! No matter what happens election day.

Great diary!
Joe is getting better at this “Number Two” stuff all the time. And Dog knows he’s had the practice.
Rec’d!
Suz? Writing diaries…? What’s the world coming to? Excellent job, Suz!
Slinking back, like weasels and snakes always try to do.
I hope he doesn’t get a standing ovation after this election.
Recommended, and Dugg
(And welcome to the Gazette, Suzanne — is this your maiden voyage on Oxdown?)
thanks pups, yes this is my virgin diary
i figured joe lieberliar was a good target – dood really should have a big L for loser on his forehead in every picture published from now on.
oh, hell yes.
smarmy, dishonest little tick of a bridesmaid works…
And the Oxdown residents rejoice!
great diary, Suz!
Say goodnight, Ted
Great diary. I can’t find the particular clip, but on TDS or Colbert last night, one of them called Lieberman a placenta. I nearly died laughing.
Joe keeps changing his playground gang status to whomever is wining someone should just tell him thats not cool and that we don’t want him.
If he tries to mess things up his legacy gets linked with Bush’s downfall.
What’s this ‘bright and eloquent’ bit of cuteness? Lieberman should stick to putting race-baiting flyers under windshield wipers in church parking lots, since his TV Time dog whistle has some poop stuck in it from stashing it in his keister.
;>)
Does this mean that the big “L” tattooed on joe’s forehead *doesn’t* stand for ‘Lieberman’?
Hah, its too late for Joe. He figured out where the political winds were blowing too late. He needs to get his
moral compass, I mean wind cock fixed.heh
Oh say it aint so Joe, there ya go agin.
-G
So, where does he stand with the Senate leaders?
Smarmy!
Now there’s a word that was invented PRECISELY FOR Lieberman!!!
He’s the poster child for that word.
Thanks, Suzanne.
I’d have more respect for him if he would just go ahead and declare himself to be a Republic. Following McCain around while pretending to be an independent fools nobody.
Well, Harry Reid likes the checks that Lieberman writes.
He stands wherever he thinks he benefits most.
WHAT FUN! it was to DIGG this!!!
totally a blast!
TRY IT!
Suze!!!! Get some sleep.
Thanks Suzanne!
I explained to my son this morning why it is that Lieberman is not a democrat and he either laughed or cringed at the stupidity of the dems who supported his general election run.
For Joe.
Is the groundwork being laid for Liarman

Hey! Nice to see you at this hour & you’re right: Lieberman is such an easy target. Too bad Reid will welcome him in the caucus post 11/4.
lieberman has been hard at work studying the methods of the reicht wing
when they want something done they claim they are doing the oposite, when liberman is claiming the high ground we know as a fact it is immoral
Congratulations on the diary Ms Suzanne !
A Republic said that Harry Reid has two nephews that are lobbyists. Is it true? Where did he hear it?
Urgh. Did you see that clip of addlepated Harry Reid having a beer at some place near the DNC convention and bragging about Lieberman writing him checks? The clip should be somewhere in the FDL archives.
This only works if the MSM does not challenge his lies.
Don’t know.
I kinda remember that. Would expect nothing more from Reid.
You go Suzanne. I notice that all of the projections of 60 votes count on his dishoner to get there.
It will be interesting to see how he tries to position himself and what the Ds will do to keep his votes.
OT – via RGE monitor:
this looks like the old fashioned IMF shock therapy from the ’90s – which i thought had been thoroughly discredited. or is there another way to understand this?
What? I thought Reid was LDS. Beer bad.
Senator’s Sons
In 2003 Reid was embarassed by a Los Angeles Times article on his son and son-in-law lobbying his office. In 2002 Reid introduced a bill, “The Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act of 2002,” which was ostensibly aimed at boundary shifts, land trades and other arcane matters in Nevada. The Times article explains that the bill would provide “a cavalcade of benefits to real estate developers, corporations and local institutions that were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying fees to his sons’ and son-in-law’s firms“.[7]
Howard Hughes Corp. paid Reid’s son-in-law Scott Barringer’s “tiny” law firm $300,000 in lobbying fees and received “a provision allowing the company to acquire 998 acres of federal land ripe for development in the exploding Las Vegas metropolitan area.” A Nevada law firm that employs all four of Reid’s sons represented a group of real estate developers that received helpful provisions in the Clark County bill.[8]
Reid argued that the bill would help Nevada’s economy while protecting the environment. The bill “placed an additional 440,000 acres of federal land under wilderness protection”.[9]
Reid’s son Key and Barringer have represented almost every industry in Nevada, all of them seek Reid’s help on federal matters.[10] Reid initially defended his son’s lobbying as perfectly legal and clean, noting that they had to file biannual reports. He later banned family members from lobbying anyone in his office.[11]
yikes!
half of me wants to go look for that clip…. and the other half wants to pretend i never read your comment. argh.
He is LDS
You got it just right. Hitem when they’re down.
Of course, in this case, Iceland is seriously at fault (caveat depositers, too), so less sympathy than Asian Tigers, who were on the straight & narrow, by-in-large.
But peel back the next layer, and how is the IMF going to deal with starving Icelanders. I read that they import most of their food.
I think I got the particulars of that clip wrong. For some reason, I remembered Reid bragging and waving around a beer and imaginary cigar, while talking about the money. Funny how memory works, huh?
they realllllly don’t want to go there.
Republics-connected-lobbyists easily outnumber Dem-connected-lobbyists 3 to 1

I think the shock therapy goes on, even while Naomi Klein writes.

exactly.
if massive increases in interest rates is the proper central bank action to the crisis, why do i see central banks everywhere doing the opposite.
the imf is, i fear, just going to make things worse for icelanders – especially as you point out they have to import food.
May I add my congratulations to you Suzanne.
Nice post. And, yes, Joe is an easy target, but I have a feeling that you’ll move on to the more challenging ones in time. You’re a smart cookie.
Here’s my one complaint. You didn’t use the fork word once in your piece. (kidding ya.)
thanks. what a corrupt senate.
That’s part of the aftermath of Bugman DeLay’s K-Street Project.
After Jan. 20th Liarman will be able to run for the Knesset in Israel. His political career is over in the States.
Reid is also anti-choice
…maybe darkblack will dress him up for us in a bridesmaid getup
What a sanctimonious prick Joementum is. For starters, IMO he cost Gore the election for his lame debate performance, his stupid comments about military ballots, and his religion. I am Jewish, but I believe more people would not vote for someone who is Jewish than someone who is black.
That is crap. You need to check yourself.
Bridal and evening wear.
;>)
Do you have a “pukey skin tone + scales” color all mixed on your palette?!
As models go, Joe doesn’t take care of himself, Margot…Not enough yogurt, I suspect.
