One of the callers made an excellent point. which is that he has been pissed off at Lieberman since 2000! That he didn’t fight hard enough in Florida.

Add to that this insight from Josh’s TPM about Joe and 2000, it’s an eye-opener:

[snip]

So what we have here is a pol, running for veep who in his unbounded ego and hubris thinks he’s better than the no. 1 man on the ticket. So instead of fighting for the ticket and the party, he sabotages it, hoping he’ll be able to run as no. 1 in ‘04. What a backstabbing prick. But wait, it gets worse:

.. Then he runs in ‘04 and sees that his success in 2000 as a candidate was not really his but Gore’s. He was a great #2 but not a free standing great man. He was rejected. And he became bitter. Very bitter.

This explains a lot. Here is a selfish, double dealing, disloyal opportunist who thinks only of himself and then turns nasty when he finds out that is high opinion of himself is not shared by others.

This, in a nutshell is why he is so disliked, and why he must be defeated.

Wow. Thanks for the head’s up. I just read the entire TMP post. If it sounds rotten and it looks rotten, well then it must be! And to think I was feeling like I was a bit out there in tin-foil hatland…
