Well, this all makes perfect sense if you grant the premise that Short Ride is planning on the VP slot. This way, St. John of the BBQ gets to repudiate Hagee, thereby reassuring the non-insane moderates, while Lieberman reassures the evangelicals with the wink-and-nod routine.

Standard Republican BS.

Certainly hard to say what rationale Lieberwurst has for what he does…Hard to give a shit either.

perhaps inelegant, but well said.

Go Joe!

Anyone watch Recount last night? Loserman came off like an idiot/asshole.

McSame/Lieberman would just put more pleasure in voting for Obama.

i can’t watch him. lost the stamina i once had, and can’t afford a new telly.

true.

Lieberman, the boat anchor who weighed down Gore’s 2000 ticket enough to make it possible for Jeb Bush to steal Florida for his older brother George

I didn’t follow politics closely in 2000, past watching the debates. But how exactly did this little prick get on the ticket with Gore in the first place? It has always mystified me…

No kidding! Out of all the actually good choices available…

There was an op ed in the Sunday NYT about his bullshit censorship of youtube. He’s always calling for censoring everything, blaming Hollywood for all the world’s problems. It’s hard to imagine that he has any Republican support for anything. I would think that they hate him too. He’s so hate-able.

Blaming Hollywood for all the world’s problems will certainly soon be a Republic trial balloon as a campaing issue. It’s one of their tried-and-true misdirections.

That only works if the majority of Americans, including the majority of American Jews, never find out about Lieberman’s continued ties to Hagee.

I would refrain from signing any petition asking Joe to renounce Hagee.

Keep Hagee out in front with Holy Joe, put a permanent stain on McCain.

This cancels out any further mention of Wright. It may also contribute to eliminating “religion” as a factor in the campaign.

Abortion and gay marriage go into the toilet with it.

Between Clinton and Lieberman, 2008 will go down in history as the Year of the Batshit-Crazy Politician.

McBush may have been near the bottom of his Annapolis class- but he’s not dumb enough to pick Lieberwurst for veep.

It would add zero dems to his vote count and annoy the holy living shit out of many goopers..

McBush and Lieberwurst are mirror images. Both buck their own party at times- but both have long and 90% faithful voting records for their own kind….

Conservatives would think that Satan was on their ballot if they see Lieberwurst’s record. Won’t happen- ever.

the point to liebershit is to fool my inlaws into voting for mcsame. he gives them cover …

Thanks for the post PW.

What is JoLie thinking?

Signed the J Street petition.

He’s a whiney, moralistic, know-it-all, condescending, hypocritical jackass. Those would be the printable opinions I have of him.

Sorry to be OT, but I posted this downstairs and everyone had left, so I’m reposting it here.

Thank you.

Keep America’s Largest Forest Off the Chopping Block

it requires a click and a sig.
Thank you again!

On accouta Gore picked him- thinkin that Lieberwurst would win Florida for him. Go figure!

The way I’ve heard it is thus:

The idea was that — despite Bill Clinton’s having the highest approval ratings since Eisenhower — Gore somehow needed to distance himself from the GOP-manufactured “Clinton Scandals”, and that the best way to do that was to pick Clinton’s most prominent Democratic critic and FOX News stalwart Joe Lieberman for his veep.

Even then, Gore kinda-sorta thought it was bullshit, but Tipper (who was hellaciously pissed at Bill for his serial cheating on Hillary) allegedly bought into it hook, line and sinker. Since then, the scales fell from both the Gores’ eyes in very short order, to the point where Lieberman can barely utter Al Gore’s name without frothing at the mouth.

LOL. I was just thinking there is an asylum missing some inmates.

The White House announced major new cooperation agreements with Saudi Arabia on Friday as US President George W. Bush made his second visit to the oil superpower this year.

The agreements cover cooperation on civil nuclear power and protecting the kingdom’s oil infrastructure which has come under attack by Islamist militants.

“The Saudis bear a special responsibility for protecting key energy facilities of global importance and the world benefits from their abundant energy supplies,” a White House statement said.

So Iran can’t have Nukes because the Premier thinks the Holocaust never happened.
But the country that gave us Ossama, al Quieda, and 9/11 gets nukes!
What will Jewish voters think in Florida McCain has lost that state if we get some media attention on this? Obama should run on promising to cancel that nuke deal if elected.
Holy Joe should switch to the Muslim faith because I’m sure Ossama who has many friends in Saudia Arabia prays for Holy Joe daily as he waits for his friends to bring him some Uranium.
A certain Fox News Woman should start confusing Bush’s name with Ossama.

btw, Waxman has Stephen Jophnson, head of the EPA up before them and he is trying to explain his last minute reversal of the California waiver on the Clean Air Act. CA wanted more stringent Regulations! This reversal occurred right after Darth met with reps from the BIG 3 Automakers. Johnson being arrogant won’t answer questions. Not claiming privilege, just refusing to answer…

Ah, but without the petition (which Lieberman is of course free to ignore at his peril), how else does the news about his self-hating embrace of Hagee get out?

Charming — buy typical; he figures that Waxman won’t actually send the Capitol Police after him and jail him, as is Waxman’s right under the subpoena power Congress is supposed to have.

I’m waiting for the next announcement that Joe has signed up for ‘Jews for Jesus’.

Juck Foe and the whores he road in on.

What was Janes nick for him? Slummy Joe? cause of his ongoing slumlord gig in CT. Remember?

By waiting for the GE campaign to warm up.

McCain-Hagee-Lieberman is something the DNC should keep in their pocket once the GOP Slime Machine 2008 is commissioned.

Lieberwurst should be pleased- he gets more mention here than any other news spot in the nation!

Sure. When all else fails, blame Hollywood for the decline of civilization. It’s Hollywood’s fault that your daughter isn’t practicing abstinence and tells you to fuck yourself. It’s Hollywood’s fault that your son listens to 50 Cent tells you to fuck yourself. It’s Hollywood’s fault that America is getting dumber, not the fact that Republicans keep cutting education spending. It’s Hollywood’s fault that people shoot each other. And those scummy Hollywood people hide behind that annoying First Amendment. Liberal bastards!

thanks for the heads up.

but wasn’t johnson up before congress a while ago (dec or jan) doing the dumb dance? So what? what is anyone going to do besides throw a fit?

I think we’re in for some Diebold fuckery in November.

This video is worrying..it is from January 08 in Florida:

It wouldn’t be that far of a stretch — he’s already on record as having cuddled up to Louis Farrakhan:

But speaking of appeasement, nobody in this debate, including Obama, has ever praised Louis Farrakhan as unctuously as Lieberman did in 2000. Back then, when he was trying to win black votes, he said he looked forward to sitting down with the Nation of Islam leader — and he set no conditions for that meeting.

Maybe John McCain should renounce Lieberman’s support, too.

Here’s a link to a CNN story from 09/26/00 on the cuddle-up.

Wow.

A pocketful of hole cards.

did I miss the thread where it was announced his stepson (a rabbi) is endorsing Obama ? – gaia, I loved that :D

Smgumby @ 9 – along with the Florida gambit, Gore picked this scolding prick as a means of distancing himself from the ‘immorality’ of Clinton

Ah Tipper. a big thinker there…

thanks for the link. Hojo dodged the vn war on the dove ticket! He has a gift, my friend!

Yes- Lieberwurst is VERY moral…he’s against smut.

I’d just as soon see Joe go down with the sinking ship of Hagee. Why should we urge him to do the right thing? Let Hagee stick to him like superglue.

I think the lieberwhore will find a place with Bob Barr, as his VP candidate. A Barr Lieberman ticket has certain poetic justice to it.

Tipper APPROVED of Lieberwurst

Took one look at him and said “NO ONE would give this man a blowjob.”

justice ring

707!

I guess he has to get caught in some sort of pervert scandal before he’ll switch parties.

The RIAA implanted borg nanocytes into Tipper.

Tipper HATES blowjobs. Ruin her whole day.

Thomas, Scalia, and Roberts are becoming beacons in the night guiding the lights of fascists everywhere:

The Supreme Court ruled today that two federal anti-discrimination statutes allow lawsuits on claims of retaliation, siding with workers who pursued grievances in separate cases that stemmed from allegations of racial and age bias.

This Story
Court Backs Lawsuits on Retaliation for Bias Allegations
Court rules for older federal workers
In one case, CBOCS West v. Humphries, the justices ruled in a 7-2 vote that an 1866 law, Congress’s first major civil rights act, prohibits retaliation against workers who complain of racial discrimination. The court’s two most conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, dissented.

In another case, Gomez-Perez v. Potter, the court ruled 6-3 that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 bars retaliation based on the filing of an age discrimination complaint. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. dissented in the case, along with Thomas and Scalia.

The court said in both cases that it was bound by previous Supreme Court rulings that allowed retaliation claims under other laws. The respondents in each case had argued that the law in question did not specifically prohibit retaliation.

McBush wants four more just like em!

Thanks.

You can count on it!

I cannot load the bradblog for some reason. saw teh video. wow. I wonder what the appropriate steps are if your modem whatever doesn’t work? Just incredible.

Are there any measures being taken to ensure the integrity of our elections, any posts anywhere. who’s the expert on this issue? And when are we going to put diebold out of business after all the damage they’ve done?

PW, I normally sign any petition you present, but this one NO! I want Lieberman to go to this…it can only damage him further.

I didn’t sign MoveOn’s latest petition demanding that Black resign from McCain’s campaign either. Why? It will be great come October to blast McCain on having a Lobbyist lead his campaign.

How’s your contempt for him these days?
Mine is just about up to 10 on the Richter scale.

Ah, but that assumes he’d listen to us DFHs.

Thomas, Scalia, and Roberts figure that just cause it’s against the law to discriminate against certain people on issues of employment doesn’t keep and employer for firing people who file discrimination suits.

I say let ‘em keep being as stupid as possible. Shhh, don’t give them any ideas!

missed the zed by that much.

How about spreading the word instead, then? Write to your local newspaper and point out that Holy Joe the self-alleged Super Jew has a record of cuddling up to anti-Semite bigots: Louis Farrakhan in 2000, John Hagee for most of the past decade — including AFTER McCain finally dropped Hagee.

too bad we can’t fire them in retaliation…thanks for posting this update.

So, who should be the fourth horseman of the apocalypse who should be in the composite photo?

I vote for W.

http://www.blackboxvoting.org is a good one and Bradblog does a lot of posts about it.

If you watch the movie, “Hacking Democracy” you really get the picture.

Here’s a snippet from the Bradblog post:

“The software most likely to steal elections is the BALLOT DEFINITION SOFTWARE loaded onto paper-based optical-scan and DRE (usually, touch-screen) voting machines in county elections offices across the U.S. just before the machines are sealed with security tape and transported to election polling locations.

And yet, the frightening reality is that there is little or no oversight of that software itself, nor of the people — usually sub-contractors, who could be anyone from a non-U.S. citizen, to a criminal, to a political party operative — who program that ballot definition software. Moreover, there is little or no testing of such software, despite the fact that it stores the ballot positions for all candidates and initiatives on every ballot, on every voting machine, and tallies the votes for all of them on election day.

For all of the concerns about election fraud, via the electronic voting systems in use across the nation today, and the eye on the source code for the software itself, few seem to have their eye on the ballot definition software, which can — even on e-voting systems where the hardware, and main program software has been tested, certified, and audited — succeed in flipping an election without detection, either by error, or on purpose.”

Blue Texan has a new post up entitled “McCain Blames Military For Disaster In Iraq; Lets Self Off The Hook!”

Yes, but in October!

Poor Al.

Dang, I actually had to do something. Hate it when that happens. I bet Waxman never even mentioned the word “contempt” to that smarmy jerk, did he?

I don’t like the term self-hating jew, because that’s what gets used on Noam Chomsky and others who protest Israeli policies toward Lebanon and Palestinians. (Sorta like I don’t like the word terra-ist because that’s what goopers over-use). But I do want to point out that there is a video by Max Blumenthal that features Lieberman falling all over himself to praise Hagee. Skip to 5:30 (an Ish Elochim, Moses, blah, blah) or watch the whole enchilada. It’s all pretty scary. Supporters of Hagee cite “Left Behind,” Talk of “Holy War with Mozzlems,” “talking out Iran.” It’s super frightening.

PH, maybe I should make a suggestion in lieu of “self-hating jew”. How about “just damn crazy”? that’s how I think of Holy Joe. Others that knew him will tell you he has “no moral compass whatsoever and just sniffs which way the political winds are going.” I think that may be true. I have yet to make a complete arm-chair psychologist diagnosis.

BTW. I am browsing the past couple of days and I am really happy the ladies are back. PH, emptywheel, Jane, Christy, et al. I always thought of this as a women-o-centric blog, and appreciate woman writers best for some reason. (Not that I discriminate against men.)
Yes, Claire McCaskill said something about making the Iraqis pay for their own reconstruction. That is a big WTF for me. It’s such an insult for so many reasons. And I am quite sure that the Iraqis will never recover stolen heritage from the museums and libraries. It will all end up in Switzerland, Christies, Sotheby’s and Swiss auction houses, or Swiss bank vaults. That burns me up alone, not to mention the number of dead.

It’s amazing how many MSM writers still don’t get that there are gobs of women in blogging. The biggest blog in terms of readership, last I looked, was Arianna Huffington’s blog Huffington Post, beating out even Daily Kos.

The thing is that he’s spent the past few decades positioning himself as Mister Morality, and touting his Jewish faith and identity to the point of using it as a club with which to bludgeon others. Yet here he is, normally so quick to spot the motes in people’s eyes, ignoring the Sahara of dust specks in those of his buddies — not to mention his own.

Thanks for noting that Rabbi Ethan Tucker is Self-Hating Joe’s stepson, not his son-in-law; Tucker is Hadassah Lieberman’s son by her previous marriage, also to a rabbi.

Yes I have a theory on that: they are afraid of us, women.
I don’t think of Arianna Huffingtons blog as woman-o-centric in a “dirty -mouthed feminist” kind of way, for some reason.

But when he talks of Jewish identity, like any other sleazy politician, he’s only representing himself not the jewish diaspora as a whole.

Joe just wants to reap the bountiful harvest to come.

;>)

But doesn’t the question now become: Does McCain reject, denounce, revile, and fart in the general direction of Joe Liebermann?
