		<description>&lt;p&gt;And what about oversight into the Iraq War contracting ripoffs?  Should not Joe, the leading Dem after 2000, have lead the way here?  Al Franken has been ragging Joe about this, and Joe avoids coming on Air America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Here is David Brooks recently on Joe Lieberman — “Whether you agree with him or not, he is transparently the most kind-hearted and well-intentioned of men”. Here is Joe Lieberman on Dick Cheney on October 5, 2000 — “I have great respect for Dick Cheney. I don’t agree with a lot of things he said in this campaign, but I have great respect for him. He was a distinguished secretary of defense. And I don’t have anything negative to say about him.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rational Elitists just don’t get it. For those fawning words alone Joe, you just gotta go.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;lo, so you deny receiving bags of golden sheckels from the Elders of Zion?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you handled Orions over-the-top comment well. Katyusha is the generic name for that very successful rocket design from Russia in WW2. Many countries now manufacture it, it’s so effective and simple. like the AK-47.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;“so&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;lo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who paid you?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That remark from orionATL is uncalled for. It is outrageous! It is at once disgraceful and horribly offensive.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Rotten fish heads….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nice, we are being ‘led’ by rotten fish heads. We in the ‘lefty’ blogosphere could not invented a better punching bag than HolyJoe for what’s been rotting at the top for years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arrogance…got that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ignorance…check.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patronising…down to a tee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Smarmy…yup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cowardly…oh yeah!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So let’s keep working his sad sack political face like the speed bag and then hit him with a big left hand for the knockout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And after him I nominate my Senators DiFi and The Boxer Short for use as political heavy bags.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d love to see ‘em out on their Armani-suited butts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you do something to support Ned today?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;lo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;while you are citing,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cite some of the haarretz articles and editorials over the last year about the harm that has been done to israel as a nation by its dependence on the united states for its security, and, specifically, AIPAC (american-israeli political action committee).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;other interested readers might want to go to “the next hurrah” and read&lt;br /&gt;
emptywheel’s  “the next war and phase II”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to me,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it always suggests a hired, or at least trained, voice when someone like lo comes up with all these “current” numbers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it makes the reader’s focus very narrow, doesn’t it? (like blinders)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;clearly, lo’s comment is intended as propaganda, which is not to say it is inaccurate, just that it it is manipulative and one-sided.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and paid for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;lo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who paid you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;what is your affiliation? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;aside:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i thought the Katyusha was a russian rocket:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and that the current rockets were iranian.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;where did i go wrong?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;did iran buy them from russia?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;were they a “gift”?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;educate me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
