Login HereOkay I wasn't the only one creeped out by Joe Lieberman attesting to John McCain's marital fidelity:
Even Joe Lieberman, who is not a Republican but who often "unites" with them, and sometimes on the first date, accused the Times of "puking" up 8-year-old rumors. That may not sound senatorial to you, but it was in fact a respectful invocation of Sen. Henry Clay's famous 1850 speech about compromise, in which Clay asked: "What if, in the march of this nation to greatness and power, we should be buried beneath the puke that propels it onward?"
Lieberman had an even more important role to play in convincing us of McCain's innocence. He explained that he and McCain had traveled the world and met many lovely ladies and that he had never seen McCain do anything inappropriate.
Not that there haven't been some opportunities for those two mack daddies, right? When they hit Abu Dhabi in their Miami Vice unstructured white sports jackets and Don Johnson cheek stubble, it's like ring-a-ding-ding, hey there, you with the stars in your eyes. I'm sure that China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for their return.
If only they weren't so darned ethical!, say all those beautiful babies whose hearts are breaking. With Joe Lieberman as his wing man, McCain could have sampled the sexual banquet tables of this world, and not just young American lobbyists who look exactly like Amy Poehler impersonating his wife.
Be still my heart.

Thinking of McCain and Lieberman on the prowl presents a disturbing image.
Now is time to choose partners for sex!
Well, you said wild and crazy guys!
That will be the worst part about an Obama vs. McCain matchup. All the hot ladies will follow McCain’s every word.
This is a serious disadvantage to our side.
Two Very Important Things To Know About Disgraced Congressman Rick Renzi
Joe! You’re so money!
It’s an example of man-cow on dog.
Women can be pretty open minded about looks.
That was one of my fav SNL skits …

ok thats it…lunch is off the table…yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
ewww . . . just, ewww . . .
Dude, I was about to eat!
DO NOT, Positively DO NOT let darkblack hear you say that ;-)
Steve Martin was on SNL last night. He wasn’t wild and crazy-but he’s damn funny anyway.
Lieberman’s comments are in keeping with the talking point. This is about sex, not corrupt lobbying practices. Cuz who can prove the sex?
Mac daddies!!!!!!!!!!!
bwhahaaaaaaa.
What ckls@11 said
:O===|
Some can, anyway.
You mean they slept in the same room, the same bed, checking each other out to make certain no inappropriate behavior took place? They were together 24/7 even escorting each other to the mensroom? I feel so much better knowing goodie two shoes Lieberman can attest to every moment of McCain’s whereabouts and behavior. Maybe the rooms were bugged and had hidden cameras when Lieberman left McCain to himelf.
I hope Lieberman goes gooper enough that he is not asked to caucus with the Democrats in 2008.
How much more will it take, Harry *Spineless* Reid?

planes, trains and automobiles
OMFG that is a disturbing thought - those two on the prowl.
Of course, the mere mention of Short Ride’s NAME invokes my gag relex, but now? I’m gonna need therapy. Lots and lots of therapy.
So, Ralph announces he’ll run…
*crickets*
such LUCKY UGLY OLD FUKKS some guys have all the luck
good morn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76bLITHVpL8
Ralph and Saint McCain are going to split the grumpy old geezer vote.

Lieberman will not asked to caucus if there is an actual Democratic majority elected. Unfortunately, Reid and Pelosi are working hard to keep that from happening.
Lieberman works for a foreign government.
And as for China doll down in old Hong Kong. I can’t resist. I have my failings.

Although I’m not real familiar with the details, I’m pretty sure that Lieberman left wife no.1 for a younger, richer no.2. Joe, in accordance to his sanctimonious wont, claimed it was for religious reasons. Also, since Haddassah means Esther in Hebrew, Joe thought that was kind of hot.
awwwwwww he was so cute,and a liberal too
Poor old Joe, apparently he reserves all of his unctuous sanctimony for Democrats.
Damn, it’s been a while!
True, looks, advanced decrepitude, demonstrated wingnut whackjobbery, and just about everything else.
hahahahahahahahahaha kaching
Lieberman is Belle and McCain is Lieberman’s Rhett Butler. Ah,the androgynous Mr. Lieberman protecting his Rhett. Not the odd couple exactly, Belle and Rhett
McCain sucks up to Bush. Lieberman sucks up to McCain. Seems reasonable.
Lieberman: proving you can be both pious and corrupt.
Oy.
Of course Lieberman wouldn’t have observed any improprieties in associating with female lobbyists. He’s married to one.
so joe is saying that since he never saw mccain do anything “inapropriate” behind closed doors, that means joe goes behind closed doors with mccain?
hmmm
Question for you….
Why is it that McBush did not want Cindy to live in DeeCee… insisted that she stay here in AZ?
if only i could photoshop
oh the PLOT…it SICKENS!
a place I don’t want to go, even briefly, with my imagination.
Bwaahaaahaaahaaahaaa
*gasp*
Lahoma and I find Lieberman to be the most disgusting and distasteful politician to have come down the pike in our lifetime. If you leave out Zell Miller. That is.
don’t forget joe’s “sweet fraulein down in berlin town” Joe would prefer the Berlin’s Rot district to the yabba dabba do of those arabic girls. But you know, you are right, slavery is legal there, so I am sure it is cross platform.
That’s required to be a Republic these days. Joe really should officially join that party.
*channeling punaise*
“My contempt for Joe Lieberman knows no bounds.”
[/channel]
i like zell better,he is just an old prik…Joe is a hypocrit and an old prik
Anything one does with either McCain or Lieberman and Photoshop requires the use of brain bleach afterward.
tru dat
Lieberman and McCain. Have you ever seen a more compatible couple of sycophants?
where can we put straycock in this scenario( 3 some)?
http://www.doublespeakshow.com.....linton.jpg
oh HOLY JOE should definately be in the middle ,no?
In my own blog, I said the same thing about whether McCain had relations with her.
I don’t care.
I do care whether he was influenced to do favors for Paxon Communications.
I care whether Paxon made political contributions and gave him access to their company jet.
Interesting how the story’s point gets skewed towards the sex…which only matters to McCain and his wife…and away from the more important matter of lobbyists’ influence.
I thought more of this song with the China Doll line
There are however limits.
I can’t watch Lieberman. He comes across as so arrogant, self-righteous and pompous. He really is a disgusting specimen.
After that one little ordeal which exceeded four hours, I never saw the man evince any interest whatsoever in all the groupies that follow us, even as we stroll through the streets of Sodom and Gommorah together.
Interesting how the story’s point gets skewed towards the sex
It’s the NYT’s own fault. It was a horribly written story. The sex part should not have been in there.
boogie –
If the story breaks on the lobbying angle, pretty much everyone in Washington has skin in the game that could cost them dearly. And the MSM knows it as well, which is why they’re much better playing this as a sex scandal.
I want to wait off on this until they bring out the hospital records showing that McCain is impotent from his being tortured in North Vietnam…and then the birth records of his children to show they were sired by “other men”.
It fits into the idea that a) he wasn’t unfaithful and
b) if he was, so what, his wife didn’t mind.
Sorry if this has already been dealt with, but Ralph “I haven’t screwed up enough elections” Nader has decided to run yet again.
Did you see this YouTube on Ralph Nader?
Says it all.
Yes, it’s so ridiculous. Who gives a rat’s behind, except for people who enjoy tearing others’ down…
It’s very clever, the way that the real issue is buried…and very sad for us that more people don’t give them heck for writing such nonsense.
I really, really want the Straight Talk Lobbyist Express(tm) to keep the rubber on the road (so to speak) until after the GOP convention — after McBush secures the nomination, they can crash into the muddy ditch.
St McCain and the Lobbyist Harlot are the perfect standard bearers for the BushCo Lobbyists-R-Us GOP den of thieves — with this phony on the ticket, we could even pick up Senate seats in Idaho, Wyoming, and Texas.
A comment from TPM Election Central — Texas is in play
Here’s what The Politico has to say on the subject of McVain.
I didn’t know that. Is this really true? Where can I find the 911 on this tidbit?
How far has fallen America? Bush, McCain and Lieberman. This is going to begin to change come this November.
Hmmm … if only we can get a bunch of motivated people to call/fax/e- mail Ralph Nader and tell him to eat it !!!
Pretty good. ;0)
“I don’t recall…”
Soon… President Obama.
Ralph Nader did some good things. Being a spoiler was not one of them.
Even more important was the POLICY that he was pushing for PAXSON. McCain wanted the FCC to grant Paxson, a religious broadcaster, the right to buy a non-commercial TV Station to run evangelical and fund-raising programming. The FCC ruled that if Paxson wanted the station it would have to abide by the stations original license…to broadcast non-commercial and educational programming. It couldn’t fund-raise for churches (or missions, or other non-station activities), and it couldn’t proslytize. Paxson, and the fundamentalist right-wing, went crazy over this, and threatened to open the entire Non-Commercial spectrum to religious programming and to rescind limitations on commercialization.
Essentially that would have opened up every non-commercial station on TV or radio to big money corporate assimilation and right-wing fundamentalist preach-a-thons. Many of the licenses of these stations are held by colleges who see little value in “managing” student-run stations, or not-for-profit NPR stations and wouldn’t mind selling the licenses for several million dollars.
That’s what McCain and Paxson were doing…allowing a massive sell-off of the radio spectrum and destroying the last bastion of community-based, local radio and TV that actually presented some balance to the bombast of right-wing talk radio, or monopolized dreck of commercial radio…and TV.
THIS needs to be made clear…THAT is what McCain and Paxson were doing…and McCain was willing to sell out the public for a few thousand in campaign contributions, and help with his Presidential campaign (and perhaps a few dinners with a pretty lobbyist).
Precisely. He’s turning into the Harold Stassen of the 21st Century, and it’s not pretty.
Nader and Lieberman were born of the same mold.
Yesterday evening I attended an event with Mike Malloy and Scott Ritter speaking and afterwards a bunch of us went out to dinner. These were people who have been involved in AZ politics for decades. This came out in the discussion, no I don’t have a source to cite.
Their was the discussion of Cindy’s father, history of the beer distributorship and that rumors of Cindy sleeping around the republican leadership at that time… until she found McBush to make her Mrs Senator..
Yeah! A collective “Go Cheney yourself!”
He is still in denial about the 2000 race …
I think it’s possible that Ralph Nader may possibly be even more pig headed than George Bush. I can’t recollect him ever changing his opinion about anything, or expressing regret over any action, once his mind is made up. I don’t mean at all that he’s dummer or a worse person than Bush, simply that he may be more stubborn.
It appears that Frank Rich bears some ill will to Hillary
in your quote this captures best what appears to be happening with Obama’s campaign:
While I have some lingering doubts about whether Obama’s rhetoric and actions are consistent (remember, Obama chose Lieberman as his Senatorial “mentor”), I have no doubt that Obama is appealing to people’s desire for change in the same way Ronald Reagan did — and Reagan campaigned on nothing other than being Ronald Reagan.
If Obama is successful, the media will need to learn new rules and new relationships very quickly. The cozy relationship that they’ve had with lobbyists and political consultants and politicians (that really started with Reagan in 1980) will be gone. Lieberman and McCain both know this, and they’ve been among the chief beneficiaries of the relationship.
Thanks for the info, C-Ape. I knew there was more to it than what was being reported.
And the Reagan-era rulings that these communications giants could combine more and more stations, newspapers, etc., is why we’re not getting “fair and balanced” newsreporting.
Oh, am I steamed now…
Why would you think so badly of Nader ?
He has done everything possible to win the Presidency, including a 50 - state strategy of ignoring all 50 states …
Lahoma and I going to ride the horses down to the Red River on this warm, sunny and glorious Oklahoma Sunday. My lady has asked if I have any interest in prepping the horses, while she packs a lunch? I guess I do. She wants me to edit her lesson plan for tomorrow. Life is good.
Does he even have enough time to get on ballots?

Nader might be dummer than Bush — Nader is a useful idiot for the right wing, and either doesn’t know it or won’t admit it.
Bush might be a Cheney sock puppet and a NeoCon tool, but they are all pulling in the same direction — and there’s crazy old Ralph, pulling right along with them.
Maybe he’s counting on a massive groundswell of support and a write-in candidacy… /snark I sincerely hope he’s met with a massive groundswell of ennui.
Details, mere details … /s
On one of my road trips….. think 2006… heard an interview of Nader. He said that he types up all his stuff on an old manual typewriter. He is quite proud that he does NOT own a computer, has never used a computer. Stated that he has never been on the internet. Kind of implied that the toobz was the reincarnation of the devil. My question would be is this true today?
Does ANYONE in the year of 2008 want to vote for a person for President who has never used a computer, know or experience the internet? I want a President who lives and understands the 21st Century….
So… for anyone who does NOT want Nader to be a spoiler is to get involved… make sure that he does NOT get on your state ballot…. devote time and money to have his signatures validated and challenged. We did that in AZ and he failed to be on the ballot due to bogus signatures. BTW it was Repubs who paid for the signature gathering.
The video is lost way down thread.
Try This
I was pointed to the video on the last thread, and found it on youtube so I can send it around to everyone I know.
So freakin funny! And timely!
I can imagine that we will soon be flooded with all sorts of “new posters” who argue that we should rally behind the “true progressive” message of Citizen Ralph this Fall. Or perhaps many of those that have already registered and have been trying to stir up dissension [”I’m not voting for either” or “If X wins the nomination, and not Y, staying home and hoping McCain wins”] will decide that Nader is the new virus to win the election. So watch all those erstwhile pseudo-”Hillary supporters” change over to “Naderistas” in about a week…using the same handles.
I am with you in spirit … grew up reading L’Amour novels and dreaming of the Red River, Rio Grande, Big Bend … *sigh*

Scory, I was on motherearthnews.com today and read their questions to the candidates. They asked about the environmental policy.
On nuclear energy, Obama weaved such a web of non-committal, it was a work of art, so to speak. He has ties to the Nuclear industry, and it was obvious from his answer that he is most likely going to back them if he is elected.
He also talked out both sides of his mouth with reference to “having to do something about mercury in the environment” but then he backed up coal industry as being “safe”.
Great word, ennui :)

Colin McEnroe is one of the shining lights of Connecticut journalism.
And humor.
Plus, whenever you read a Hartford Courant article online, be sure to check out the comments, too. It’s always a hoot!
Ever notice how Repug women either look like church ladies or two bit whores? What’s with that? And blonde? Maybe we should invest in companies that make bleached blonde bottled dyes? That must be some profit on that product!
WooHoo, McEnroe is FUNNY:
But then it didn’t run. The Times sat on this story for months. Why? Because the Times finds this kind of story distasteful. In New York, there are other kinds of newspapers that handle stories like this. They are called “tabloids,” from the Greek root “tab,” meaning “SLAIN FROZEN PROSTITUTE,” and the Latin suffix “-loid,” meaning “IN QUEENS LOVE NEST WITH HALF-GOAT POPE BABY.”
Hopefully Ralph will get less than the 400,000 he got last time in 04.
Cue the weepy stories about liberals being meaner than Republicans.

P.S. Ralph wants more Alitos and Scalias on the SC.
Exactly … I wonder if Gore knew all along that Nader would run in 2008 …
Madonna/whore complex. The prime demographic.

The thugs and their wingnut allies and enablers like Lieberman and the MSM are doing their damndest to sidetrack the story foff the K-Street line. I don’t see how it can work. McCain’s dealings with the lobbyists going back to the Keating five is fair game. The Obama team know this, and they are no doubt already developing a narrative to use in the months leading up to the Conventions. If they aren’t, they are not doing their job.
The two months after the March sign-off on the primaries (assuming Hillary suspends her campaign) are the most critical months of the campaign. Remember last time out, when the thugs were able to ‘brand’ Kerry as a flip-flopper. The Swiftboating was later, and successfully neutralized the effect of the Democratic convention. To win this election big, Obama needs the ground game, which will go into gear when the colleges are out at the end of May, and the aerial attack, which should start right away, before the thugs can get their act together. They should also develop a strategy to neutralize the conservative punditocracy. Ridicule seems to me to be the best bet. It’s self-enforcing.
2000 was not just about how many voted for him, it was about how many heard his opposition to Gore and decided not to vote. Of course, there is some truth to Bush stealing the election(s) but Nader contributed to that.
Self righteousness is the worse abomination …
ROFL
Jane - good one! Heh heh. But who is Butch and who is Scumdance?
My theory is they’re manufactured in a town called Stepford.
- Tom
Nader is totally aware of what he is doing. He is a bitter, sour, contemptuous old man who knows only one emotion - hate. As for any good he did in the long distant pass, he is only as good as his last act and that wasn’t good.
I am sure that the Republican Media will give much more airplay to Nader’s message than they did to John Edwards.
-G
I may show up at a Nader rally with a pie or some rotten lettuce.
Hear, hear!!! [loud applause]
Uh oh … has the NYT given up on the McCain story ?
… nothing in today’s edition, at least not front page worthy …
LOL !!!
((( GregB & bmaz )))
I have some out of date eggs in my fridge I can send you.
My theory is they’re manufactured in a town called Stepford.
Nah, that was outsourced 20 years ago.
Well at least Taylor Marsh will have someone to cheer for, when Obama wins the nomination …
