Just another example of why Short Ride Joey’s Senate office probably won’t make it onto any Best Places to Work list anytime soon:
Some Lieberman staffers were apparently a little miffed back in December when they learned – by word of mouth – that their boss was supporting McCain. And their unhappiness has grown in recent weeks as Lieberman has campaigned for McCain and continues to step away from the Democratic Party.
But surely the boss would let his loyal Capitol Hill staffers know his thinking — you know, have a meeting and let everybody in on the plan?
In an interview Friday, Lieberman said he does not know about any unhappiness among staffers, but said, “I don’t play political loyalties with my staff.”
Before making the McCain endorsement, Lieberman said he “talked to my key staff people and met with the committee staff” but “not the entire staff.”
“The staff that’s been here has gone through all of this with me, and they’ve heard me say from the beginning of the presidential campaign [that] I am going to wait ’till both parties choose their nominees and then I’d decide,” Lieberman said. “So, that was in the air.”
Still, Lieberman added, “The timing may have been a surprise.”
Yeah, it might have been, considering you broke your word by endorsing Old Lord St McCain in the middle of both parties’ primary season. That’s just the thing every loyal political staffer longs for from the putz they’ve tied their career to, for better or worse: a surprise.
And, in case you’re keeping track at home, some Democratic Senators still covet the LieberStink:
The senator said he will keep campaigning for McCain “as they need me,” but will also continue to do some fundraising for Democrats such as Sens. Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
“I expect I’ll be doing more for other Democrats in the House and the Senate,” Lieberman said.
Please keep us informed, Senator. We like to know who values your presence.

hi Teddy
Lest we forget and KO reminds us…Bill O’Reilly’s low grade racism on display again with his comment about a lynching party for Michelle Obama. Will he be held to the same standard as Imus? Face the same accountability?
KO said Westwood One is Billo’s radio distributor. And Roger Ailes, over at Fox. And then there’s the lovely advertisers.
Maybe JoLIE has an opinion on that?
I sure don’t “value his presence”. McCain can have him.
Hiya, TSF
Look: Joe-Lie has endorsed a non-candidate at this point…
Yo Teddy!
This eclipse is spectacular. About 1/4 full now.
Sorry Teddy, Moon more interesting than the Lieberman tonight :)
Totality begins seconds before 10 p.m. and lasts until 10:51 p.m.
what does liarman get for his switch?
what are the predictions, does he get vice pres, does he get sec of state, sec of defense? what does he get?
What color suit will Cindy wear tomorrow?
If we can put a man on the moon, why can’t we put Joe Lieberman there?
probably too many clouds here where we are.
Gosh, Teddy, do you think Lieberman will now come out with a censure motion for McCain?
On election day in CT in 2006 I spent the day poll standing for Lamont with a policy wonk from Joe’s DC office. I think she was protecting her job more then anything else.
OMG. Kiddo is going off on Lieberman.
L.
We love us some LIEberman. NOT.
Liarman: McCain who??? I’m a Democrat…I changed my mind…again…
Raging Red
As an unwilling Pryor constituent, this makes me ill.
Here’s the scoop on the NYTimes piece. This broke on their website. It will appear in the print edition tomorrow. Beteeen now and then, several editorial meeting will determine what to add to the print edition. The NYTimes has more than what appeared on its website tonight. Trust me on this one…
Dayem…McCain pokin’ the lobbiest and doing favors for the lobby…a twofer…
Cindy must me frikkin’ livid.
Teddy! No comment on St. McCain’s martyrdom…? *g*
Larry Flynnt’s never around when you need him.
not that it needed it, but my enduring contempt for Lieberschmuck got bumped up a bit by this.
Edited version:
Here’s the scoop on the NYTimes piece. This broke on their website. It will appear in the print edition tomorrow. Between now and then, several editorial meetings will determine what to add to the print edition. The NYTimes has more than what appeared on its website tonight. Trust me on this one…
So…is McCain poor now?
How in the hell can FDL endorse animal cruelty by showing that dog with that skunk?
Cindy must me frikkin’ livid.
wonder if she’s “really proud” tonight.
i met lieberman staffer that day too. didn’t seem particularly happy to me.
BTW. Fuck Lieberman.
Last time he was in these parts he got shot.
I suspect you also know how the Gray Lady works…*g*
Can anyone explain the timing of the release of this story?
you have inside info?
I like how the NYT phrases this. It was not a romantic relationship. It was just about sex apparently.
How in the hell can FDL endorse animal cruelty by showing that dog with that skunk?
at least the pooch is wearing haz-mat gear.
something big happened 10 minutes before this. but we won’t know what till we dig it out of the trash on friday or saturday.
The silence from Flynt is deafening these days, I’m gonna have to stop my annual contribution to Hustler… *g*
inside baise-ball
.
(baiser is French slang for screw)
Look: I said last thread: McCain’s gone! Gome, like yesterday. Let me pose this: Do you think, with everything that the NYTimes has gone through, from a Judith Miler to a Jayson Blair, to whatever, do you think Bill Keller would have allowed this to go through without the goods? I mean, am I smarter than all these talking heads on teevee tonight?
I meant cancel…! ;-)
teh “senator said he will keep campaigning for McCain “as they need me,””
awwwwwwwww. is THAT what it is with this menace? the NEED to be needed????
how bout if he responds to his property renters who DESPERATELY need something from him?
God! I hate LIEberman (I-Tel Aviv) like NO OTHER!
puke in my pillow, and sleep on through it!
baise-ball been berry berry good to me
Yes I do. But it’s classified…*g*
I explained it downstairs-
this is a gift from the new york times to the republican party
it vettes mccain, if he can’t overcome the story now, they field a differant candidate
if he can overcome the story it takes the power of that story from the democrats and might actually hurt them for raising the issue again
glad you made the party.
trouthout is calling it an affair
NYT Exposes McCain Affair With Lobbyist
from t r u t h o u t
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r…..008Z.shtml
Yeah, he claimed he had the goods on some folks & was going to out them within weeks. That was months ago.
McCain has always had a problem with ethics and I for one hope that the media will focus on that.
That’s what I’m talkin bout. But it’s soo much fun to see the Lakers freak out.
bawhaahahahahaaaa
hehe.
so this isn’t a story in the tradition of wen ho lee or whitewater?
poon tang too
Once word gets out that McBush got a blow job from a lobbyist- Joe’ll have to withdraw his support and make shame shame noises in McBush’s direction.
Let me say that when Bush leaves office (in ten months!), and we have a new President and a newly strengthened and improved Democratic Senate, Mr. Lieberman will find himself a pariah. He will be stripped of his party affiliation along with his seniority and his committee seats, and we will hear very little from him after this election cycle.
does anyone remember the rumors about bush and candy rice?
randi rhodes did an episode on it but I doubt it was real, that would have never been buried
She’s tearin’ him a new….opening as we speak. How is that woman…ever, ever..going to face her “friends” at their “clubs” and such…I guarantee you, she is hurting bigtime…(I do not wish that on her at all BTW)…but I guarantee you that shizzola is hitting the fan right now. Bigtime.
McCain is toast, because Cindy has been betrayed. I’m sure on some level she trusted him, and this is her worst nightmare…
When I was on staff as a lowly news editor at CBS in the mid-1980s, I developed a lot of contacts with NYC news media people in print and teevee…
something to do with las vegas, yes?
cause joe will be sooooooooo forkin jealous. He will spit nails.
or maybe thumbtacks.
Mr. Lieberman, apparently, remains a problem. What to do?
He would never let this out without the goods. Never. You are right.
You may be right. Or…it’s Cheney’s doing since he doesn’t give a damn about anything but revenge and he wanted to hurt McCain.
Nope, Cum stained Blue Dress level, you know, impeachable offense level…! 8-(
well, i trust you a hell of a lot more than i trust the nyt.
What goes around etc etc.
here ya go
Oh yes it would. The Bushes are VERY diligent about burying their dirty laundry & threatening anyone who tries to expose it.
(baiser is French slang for screw)
…also for kissing, as I keep reminding you…mon vieux...*g*
cheney gets his rocks off watchin those torture videos and I bet they are not destroyed, that he has a copy for his personal “pleasure”
Is this when Newt comes riding to the rescue? That other Republican paragon of family values.
You don’t mean that she “deserved” it..do you?
Senator Obama will trounce McCain on the issues. Starting with Iraq.
C’mon, get real. This is an eight year old story. This is old history for John and Cindy.
The electorate is another story.
Probably, but that’s not sayin’ much. *g*
Could be…he said he would consider it if there was a botched convention. Problem is: He did the same damn thing!!
No, but I’m working on that one. Might have an answer before the night is over…
OT, except it’s about Little Joey Short Ride’s new BFF:
From the NYT, to be printed tomorrow, apparently McCain has [cough] ethics issues. And he seems to be partial to blondes, judging from the picture of the lobbyist.
Sometimes ya have to switch tools and hammer it home…! *g*
Josh at TPM has McCain’s statement and I thought that this was interesting, ” John McCain has a 24-year record of serving our country with honor and integrity. He has never violated the public trust, never done favors for special interests or lobbyists, and he will not allow a smear campaign to distract from the issues at stake in this election.” Do you suppose that he forgot about Keating?
your feigned innocence will get you nowhere :~)
Pat Buchanan, on Abrams, working himself into a righteous froth over the obviously nefarious tactics of the NYT.
Jeebus, by tomorrow morning, he might have a stroke on JoeScar…
i stand corrected.
all along, i’ve been saying i don’t care what politicians do in their personal life. i take i all back – getting aroused by torture is something i think we should avoid in our leaders.
LOL…maybe that’s the plan. Personally, I’m very afraid of an unfair election but not at all afraid of anyone the repubs could nominate.
yep.
wouldn’t dream of missing a trash Joe-Lie thread!
Charles Black. Now there’s a piece of slimy Republicanism.
Noooooooo! Not the red sweater dog picture!!!!!
In a word, no…
Pretty please…? Aww, but then who would be Rachel’s sparring partner…? I’ll volunteer…! *g*
Bob Bennett, McCain’s mouthpiece, is on Faux Noise.
He’s pathetic.
a topic worthy of our pun-master-in-chief.
Oh…I see….he cheated on her years ago, and she knows all about it, all he details, and has no problem with it…
I beg to differ…ummm…when someone cheats on their spouse, it never goes away…in every argument it comes up…now it is Public, when you are out there all dressed up for the party and it gets thrown in your face again….
You get real!
see perris @44
that’s the answer, either that or the base does not want mccain and they are getting rid of him like this because they can’t get rid of him through the primary system
I want to know the sources of Mr. Lieberman’s finances.
Aww, but then who would be Rachel’s sparring partner…? I’ll volunteer…! *g*
well gee, I’d have never expected that from you! *g*
Ouch.
the nyt story does seem to have strange timing … how do the thugs role to someone else now? Is this a move to make sure the wingnuts don’t unite around mcbushain? or is it a weird proving the-old-guy-still-has-it story and all the losing wingnuts can identify w/ him?
Also gang:
Note that eCAHN is not saying much. And for me that’s says a lot…She much more discreet than I am..*g*
Does Mr. Lieberman receive campaign monies from any lobbyists. And if so, from whom and how much?
I’m sure A*P*C issued him a W-2…! ;-)
Thanks for the reminder! Luckily it’s clear here, and we’ll have a great view from the back yard.
nyt:
maybe because he was so eager to take the money?
we don’t know what their relationship is like. for all we know she’s been cheating on him for years and this is no big deal to either of them (even if true).
personally, that would not be my reaction… but not everyone reacts the same way.
You need not apply…! *g*
alleged adultery – now, that’s the way to win ‘em over in Lynchburg…
Both McCain and Iseman hired attorneys so is it possible that the timing might have more to do with legal issues and such.
Biodun- I’ve read above, only replying to your latest.
I would say, however, that Bill Keller’s judgment has been a bit er… lacking in the past.
They all might have a stroke by the time this week is over: Dan, Tweety, and Tucker…maybe Andrea Mitchell. But Noron? Not so much. That laugh of hers will save her for her twins…
here’s the winning headline:
Countdown: McCain In Bed With Lobbyist. No, Really In Bed With Lobbyist
from Crooks and Liars by Logan Murphy
For this kind of question, I cannot recommend opensecrets.org highly enough.
You misinterpret. I really don’t know anything about how the NYT works. I agree with your general proposition that with the other bad mistakes they’ve made, they better be solid on this one. But Pinch Sulzberg strikes me as a now very competent twerp, so you never can tell. After all, they hired Kristol.
When an alleged affair becomes public- it changes everything for the spouse- now they must take a public posture- and that can change EVERYTHING.
my guess is they take bets which way the flagpole falls
this is grand fun for someone like mccain
True. Everyone reacts differently.
Jay Severin is confirming my point right now. He’s smart as hell even if on the Right side of things…
McCain, per Howard Fineman, says that McCain has reportedly flatly denied to Bill Keller that he had any kind of “any inappropriate”, i.e. sexual, relationship “with that woman”.
kinda feels like I’ve been here before – maybe it’s just me….heh
Mr. Joe ‘Nam draft dodger Lieberman apporoves of the war in Iraq and is very in favor of attacking Iran. In which branch of the armed forces does Mr. Lieberman’s healthy, military age son serve?
hey, I think the picture jane posted downstairs resembles that lying sac of cute
I forget her name but you all know who I mean
We might get to see one of McBush’s famour temper tantrums- that would be grand- especially if Huckleberry barbs him with this in public!!
.
Yes, but that’s a different kinda mistake. Not on this one. It’s huge…
I tells ya, the Repugs’ write ‘em for us this cycle…! *g*’
I mean, who’s to say Keller hasn’t gone off the rails himself with a mid-life crisis? Like, he did get a new wife of late, as I learned recently from a good friend who had an… er… thing with him in college.
raven downstairs you said something about draft dodging stories and I posted this link for you
it compiles who served and who dodged among both democrats and republicans
a must read
One person did not decide this.
special wiki edition:
http://www.dahothouse.com/media/wiki.jpg
Phoenix Woman, from the last thread:
Reminds me of how one of Newt Gingrich’s mistresses, Anne Manning, said that Newt insisted on having only oral sex because then he could honestly say that he’d never “slept” with her.
McCain, in turn, insisted on limiting it to one-handed manual petting, thus “The Cheating Five”.
Wow, I coulda sworn I hit the reply for Tex…! 8~)
Agreed. In the past. But not in the present.
I have to say that NYT story is quite weak. So far, there’s nothing much there. I need a lot more evidence before I will believe that there was an inappropriate physical relationship. The more interesting question is which Republican forces are putting the shiv into McCain?
Just coming on to the thread and got an e-mail with link to Harpers. Scott Horton says that 60 minutes is airing the Siegelman story on Sunday.
As far as the “he slept with a lobbyist” stuff goes, as far as I’m concerned it’s a bright shiny thing. The valuable thing about the NYT article is that it will stick the Keating 5 back on the front page. Now, THERE’S a scandal. If some blond has the lack of judgment to slide between the sheets with him I don’t care. I do want the younger ones to be made forcefully aware of what a hypocrite he is.
Colmes…its a non-story….nothing criminal…there’s no there there…
Gimme a break…
Nancy Reagan red?
Hot damn!
Oh. And here I’d thought he’d declared war on vegetable condiments – “Defeating Chives”.
But if it were about Obama, the press would crush him on the allegation alone. That would be the end of him.
Tucker is on now…the twerp. He knows nothing…
Pentagon has attempted to shoot down the bus satellite…FOX…Fox is fun…Weeeeeeeee
I’d like to know the exact nature of Mr. Lieberman’s ties to any foreign governments.
7/8ths eclipse right now, I’d say this is the best time to appreciate it since when it’s total, what’s to see?
MSNBC says there is much more in the print edition.
Exactly.
About damn time…. GOOD…
Woo-Hoo! That’s better than Bush’s 19%! Or Coulter’s denied credit card! Wheee!
The question remains as to whether they will try to smear the Gooper witness and dismiss her testimony as he said she said.
See my 24…
As far as the “he slept with a lobbyist” stuff goes, as far as I’m concerned it’s a bright shiny thing.
Unless she “earned” something, or gained something of value, from the Senator by doing so.
At that point, should it come, then it’s a *real* story – with legs, and quite possibly a campaign killer.
hard to prove, though.
That’s deliberate, of course.
Yep…did I say trust me on this one?
Punaise- The Cheating Five… outta be an FDL headline… LOL
well, if they nyt doesn’t have more – then this article is pretty irresponsible.
shame teddy’s thread went off topic
teddy, your post is excellant but I guess sex sells
I guess we are trading off saying the same thing. adios
OMG not that!
oh good – Tucker came on – gives me a chance to get my DVR, running about 8 minutes behind, back up to present-time. Thanks, Tucker!
Apparently, it’s going to have a red glow then …
I just read McCains statement. Reading between the lines, I think tomorrow’s story may be less about romance and more about political favors for that lobbyist. Which is a whole different set of problems for him. I’m beginning to think that he won’t survive this.
Lieberman suxx0rs!!
There, back on topic!
Anyone who would hop into the sack with McCain is weird. But naturally that’s just my opinion.
not blue?
darn
My son tells me that when the eclipse is complete, the moon will be a red ball.
As the embers die on McCain’s campaign…!
… that’ll be after Nov. 7th …
*g*
someone remind us about the keating 5. OK remind me. Did I have a new baby that year? was i out of the country? or am i now senile?
Hah !
Lieberman is indeed a putz.
I can’t see the eclipse, it’s cloudy.
Happy to see eveyone getting along tonight.
Carne guisada should be ready in about 15 minutes, who wants some?
FOX just brought up Keating 5..they are taking him down….
Sooner or later Mr. Lieberman must be dealt with. This man, certainly in the realm of foreign policy, does not operate with the interests of his nation in mind.
high five!
I believe, Orange is the operative color…!
Probably not enough was made out of it. No one really got in trouble.
Here ya go, Betsy … Keating 5
We do. ;0)
Guess what? 24 minutes ago, the NYTimes revised the original post. They have now included this second paragraph, which wasn’t in the original:
high Keating five!
I want Bob Bennett’s job. I mean – how hard can it be? Try your case in public – deny, deny, deny.
And then Get PAID….
Raven, well I will def. be using my Lexis Nexis thingy to see how the NYT changes the story as things progress tomorrow! Done a bit of this in the past, such research, and sometimes the changes are quite telling.
Plans for the George W. Bush presidential library have just been released
The George W Bush Presidential Library is now in the planning stages. You’ll want to be the first at your corporation to make a contribution to this great man’s legacy.
The Library will include:
The Hurricane Katrina Room, which is still under construction.
The Alberto Gonzales Room, where you can’t remember anything.
The Texas Air National Guard Room, where you don’t have to even show up.
The Walter Reed Hospital Room, where they don’t let you in.
The Guantanamo Bay Room, where they don’t let you out.
The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room (which no one has been able to find).
The Iraq War Room. After you complete your first tour, they make you go back for a second, third, fourth, and sometimes fifth tour.
The Dick Cheney Room, in the famous undisclosed location, complete with shooting gallery.
Plans also include:
The K-Street Project Gift Shop – where you can buy (or just steal) an election.
The Airport Men’s Room, where you can meet some of your favorite Republican Senators.
To highlight the President’s accomplishments, the museum will have an electron microscope to help you locate them.
Last, but not least, there will be an entire floor devoted to a 7/8 scale model of the President’s ego.
When asked, President Bush said that he didn’t care so much about the individual exhibits as long as his museum was better than his father’s.
Con arroz y frijoles refritos?
NASA also said that it would be Red … unless Bush doctored the report …
It’s a red ball when it’s “total”.
When it’s “complete” it will be back to being green cheese.
Lieberman is another war criminal. He should one day be tried for his crimes.
the Straight Cock Express!
I’ll bring my own tortillas and my left-over chili from last night.
I am shocked, shocked that I was the first one to Digg this article after 183 comments.
Thanks Petro. I was in grad school. And clueless in 1989.
Keating Five Slate article
Wiki Keating Five
Beans and rice. By all means. ;0)
I could have sworn that LIEberman was named by Obama as his senate mentor. And now Holy Joe chooses St. John to back instead of his mentee?
Where’s the loyalty?
Too funny!!
Wait…
nope.
BTW, last nite’s moon was framed with a vibrantly blue sky around it here in the Isles, I took it as a heavenly omen…! *g*
my bad…picked the wrong para…
Your Keatin’ Heart..
I remember all those scandals during Raygun’s reign … and they all escaped unscathed …
No eclipse viewing here in AZ…. of all nights we have a cloud cover…
Is Lieberman still allowed to caucus with the Democrats?
Lieberman broke his word!!?? NO!!
I just watched the Matthews vs uninformed Texs leg video on TPM. In my humble opinion, it is a nice demonstration that Matthews is an equal opportunity media celebrity nitwit, thug and ass -as long as he is not dealing with a manly man’s man GOP male with bulging manliness package and associated musk to fantasize over.
Too bad the clip didn’t include KO’s “this isn’t hardball” comment.
This happened (if it happened) before I can remember things in national politics, but I remember reading that back in the day, one pundit punched out another during a presidential campaign, on live TeeVee. Gore Vidal slugged William Buckley -is that right? One can only hope (nahh, not really in reality, I would not condone any kind of volence, but if Matthews can fantiasize about fantasies, so can I).
The Texax leg should have known one Obama leg accomplishment, but not only did Matthews bully and sandbag, he then went on to use it as a pretext to assert as domonstrated truth the latest ignorant media tripe and trope that Obama has not experience at all. Total BS.
In my book, Matthews is now officially a Bad Pundit.
I hope you mean clili, and not bean soup.
;)
Wow, just your luck…! 8-(
ok, all of you moon eclipse freaks, google earth also googles the moon
make sure you enlarge to the surface, what you will see is stunning;
google moon
There’s a story that it’s not the mentees that choose, they are assigned. It’s Lieberman who said Obama chose him. Given his general credibility…
This is for Glen Beck and DoughBoy GoldBerg:

But wait—- Jane had that exact text up as part of her previous post!!!
Are we in a time warp here?
We can but hope.
well, my moon is completely eclipsed and I assure you it’s not red
it’s…
well, it’s not there, nothing is there, it looks like bush disapeared it from the sky
nothingness
I’m just trying to be fair. McCain may very well have cheated on his wife, but I need more evidence before I’ll believe it.
For the most part, I don’t care who politicians sleep with, but there is a legitimate blackmail concern.
Where will they put the codpiece, the flight suit, the aircraft carrier, and the “Mission Accomplished” banner?
I’m trying to forget that bit of untidyness. But I have to say it has been difficult. But I am a supporter of Sen. Obama for president. But then, I voted for Al Gore and Joe Lieberman a few years ago. I’ve learned something since then. Lord help me. Perhaps President Obama has learned a few things too. ;0)
I care if he’s sleeping with a lobbyist.
in the fantasy play room?
Is that the big hair guy from south of us?

Straight Talk Express into the tunnel
In the spirit of tonight’s festivities, I corrected my own statement
ndfg, you sharing the popcorn or what?!?!?
That would be the one.
It’s no longer enough for me to mute when Lieberman comes on. I have to switch channels or turn the tube off. Lieberman is such a pompous little prick.
You mean like Romney?
the romance is not the issue…. that is the frosting or the draw on the story…. he denies he would not violate his principles but what exactly do you call what happened in the Keating Five scandal?
Maybe he didn’t violate his principles if his principles include giving special favors to lobbyists
It takes me to the Apollo 11…
Never apologize…Never explain… Never ask if anyone “got” it
This is NYTimes para, now revised just 3 minutes ago:

I told you kiddo was going off on Lieberman. When kiddo starts up, it can be very difficult to turn his motor off.

MSNBC is showing a special on Obama right now….
CNN’s Coop is on it now. More might come out…
Thanks for the update!
I hope you are saving screen shots of this *g*
Just in case it was missed the first time, here’s the text of the NYT article, datelined tomorrow.
I guess it’s dead, google used to finish off with a close up of swiss cheese
I wonder why they took that down, it was great
sorry for the bad lead
How can two jets crash mid-air?
Fantastic!! Hey PETRO!!! *G*!
…Never explain
you have to read the fine print to see the exception for foreign language assistance.
It was, thanks!
Dammit, one of them didn’t survive …
AP – An exiled Iranian opposition group claimed Wednesday that Tehran was speeding up a program to develop nuclear weapons. “The Iran regime entered a new phase in its nuclear project,” said Mohammad Mohaddessin of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran.
They do at air shows sometimes.
Hiya Loo Hoo, elation was short lived, see my 240 …
Yes, I agree completely that there are legitimate and serious lobbyist issues here. But man, if the NYT does not have anything more on the relationship angle, they should not have included that part in the article, IMHO.
Yeah, those exile groups, like Ahmed Chalabi’s INC, are so reliable.
Training exercise ?
But this wasn’t an air show, was it?
I think “Curve Ball” is actually Joe Lieberman.
CNN’s Coop: More will definitely come out. Dana Bash has already come out with more detail about what went down in the NYTimes newsroom…
Lieberman was reportedly overheard saying “No one wants to end this primary more than I do.” He then endorsed St McCain and pledged a lobbyist surge from his own donor list.
This come from a source called “Son of Curveball”?
Doesn’t it just kill you.
Why would any training exercise every be designed with any risk of crashes, unless they’re being trained to crash the planes.
US pilots found after jets go down

BTW Saturday I will be attending an event with Mike Malloy and Scott Ritter. Ritter will be speaking about his book “Target: Iran”
Will take notes and report back about his views. When I met Ritter last year, he had just came back from Iran and just laughted at all the war mongering.
I should also have boldfaced this one:
Here’s one of the most poignant snippets I’ve seen so far here…
Helene Hale is a true icon for Progressives everywhere… In those sixty years, she’s served in every position from County Councilor to State Senator and every position in between to include Mayor… She’s just announced that she’s retiring from her Senate seat…!

I just got back from watching the fully part of the lunar eclipse.
Beautiful.
The Moon looked like a Pearl in the Sky.
Beautiful.
Luckily for us the cloudy LA skies for this event.
Context, babies.
Oh, fuck me…Bay Buchanon just said “This is not the democratic party, this is the party of values”
Seven year ago or not. Did Cindy McCain know about it? That is key. If she knew, and she didn’t care…well so be it..still a cheater.
If she didn’t know, well…all hell’s broke loose…in any case, she’s humiliated…what is she going to say…Oh, John, it’s okay..bring it out, I forgive you, it doesn’t matter…I can take it…
Gimme a break. Get frikkin’ real.
Thanks for putting it all together! Of course, LIEberman will stick by his man.
errrr
pics please?
Bay Buchanon just said “This is not the democratic party, this is the party of values”
she’s baying at the moon
Hmmmm.
Lifted….
Thanks, pun. Now that you have explained that, would you care to apologize?
They dogfight (ever seen Top Gun) and milliseconds separate life and death … my uncles flew in WW II for the R.A.F. and Pilots never try to crash planes on purpose …
WaPo0 picks up the story Main addition is denial from Charles Black as a campaign rep.
She is so dumb she cannot figure out where the moon is tonight.
It’s beautiful right now.
woohoo…. they dis’ing Rudy…. woohoo…
Cheaters’ mantra: Deny, deny, deny. It is a code.
where is the moon? i think it’s hiding somewhere.
they do reliably report what the bushies want them to say ….
nice little attach on iran, timed to control the news?
Start wearing orange, wearing orange…
BTW, my local rag has never liked her throughout the sixty+ years, hence the obvious omissions in her lengthy career…!
Well it’s getting time for something major to happen. I have just had an email marked urgent from upstairs. The request for information reads have I “given thought to the possiblities of Swiss Miss and mellows upstairs?” Fact of the matter is I hadn’t. But now I’m giving that a great deal of consideration.
Good night good people. Tomorrow is another day.
Lahoma and me.
HA!
Makes me want to moon at the Bay…
I am ODing on schadenfreude juice.
CT- thanks for the update! Maybe HI has broken the record for increase in % turnout for D caucuses? Pretty amazing numbers you posted. 5000 v 37000?
An Uncle of mine was shot down over Normandy, as an RAF pilot from Nova Scotia…!
My contempt for Joey “Low Road” Lieberman knows no bounds.
Did he survive?
-G
I don’t get it. :~)
Night, night.

The eclipse is beautiful here. The skies were kind enough to clear in the past few hours.
Unless they’re test pilots and are working on prototypes and testing limits. But then, i’d bet the engineers want them back in some decent shape…
Thanks, pun. Now that you have explained that, would you care to apologize?
trapped in a device of my own making…
Nope…that’s not, most definitely not, what will appear in the paper tomorrow. That’s what’s on their website at the moment. The print edition hasn’t gone to press yet. Again: Before they go to press there will be editorial meetings to determine what goes in there. They’re having one right now…as I type.(I mean the print edition of the first edition, which is available only to NYC metro area readers…, as distinct from the national edition…)
The creepy GOoPer I watched gnawing on a chili dog in Merrimack a few months ago.
-G
you got it!
The head of Bay “Mother Bates” Buchanan must be exploding over this.
What time is the first print edition available in midtown?
No, I made a trip, while I was stationed in Germany to visit his grave… My Grandma had asked me to when she’d heard I was there…!
Something real that they haven’t ruined yet, quite:
10:25p.m. E.S.T. Full lunar eclipse, with the old hunka cheese just beginning to peek out under clear skies in N. E. OH.
Give you joy!
I swear, she and her brother are hyperactive. What the heck does she ever say that is helpful for the world…oh yeah, they get paid. Hmmm…that reminds me of people who…Eva Braun.
Candy Crowly…what is our problem…she was one of the most destructive elements during the Kerry campaign.
Why? Why do people like this want the country to end up in pieces..why? Their very own families are affected…Why?
The print edition of the first edition can go to press really late, like 2 AM ET, because, again, they’re printed in Manhattan and Queens,where they can be rushed to news stands in time for the morning rush hour…
Not to worry. Entropy will take hold soon enough.
around 5 AM ET…
I disagree; I’m not convinced it’s just the titillating “frosting.” Unless he was doing special favors for all the lobbyists, if the staffers’ comments are accurate, then the personal attraction may be part and parcel of improper behavior.
Have some of that Good “Ole Schadenfreude Pie with that juice.
But by then, the website will be identical to the print edition, n’est pas?
Very sad from CNN:
One of two Air Force pilots whose F-15C jets collided over the Gulf of Mexico has died, Air Force officials say.
have you perhaps noticed she, as well as pattyBuch, now has a persistent problem with whining. I’m trying to feel sorry for her, NOT!
The things she has done to my blood pressure over the years are absolutely unforgivable.
Yep, you got that right…they’ll be in sync, like in iPod…
The sock puppet has more integrity. Is that cotton or polyester?
Oh, that is really terrible! Did he survive?
Gee maybe Holy Joe can dust off his Senate floor speech castigating Bill Clinton for his improper behavior and just “Insert”
so to speak McCain’s name for Clintons’s
Just a thought I know how busy he is these days what with campaigning and everything.
Lieberman – what a guy, he cant’ decide on the political party he wants to be a part of. All he knows for sure is that he wants to be President or Vice President or in some other high possition. What a creep.
