I guess I shouldn’t be shocked that no major Democrat is out there hitting him hard for his outrageous behavior — even Pelosi’s critique is tepid and awfully late. (Remember how quickly she jumped in to smack Russ Feingold around for having the temerity to censure Bush? Evan Bayh got his oar in on that one, too, as I recall.)
Still better late than never, I suppose. Others should take notice. Do they really think someone is going to say something untoward and Joe leaps to the GOP? The guy is probably going to speak at their convention, fer chrissakes. Or didn’t they notice?
Wonder if this has anything to do with Cindy Sheehan making it onto the ballot?

Cindy!
(zed!)
a little to late for Pelosi to redeem herself. Can someone get a movement going to ask all of our reps to commit to dumping her as Speaker next term?
Pelosi pays no attention to Cindy Sheehan. None at all. When asked, her staff says that the Speaker has the highest regard for Ms Sheehan. That is all.
And why did this take so long? It’s not “irresponsible” — it’s hate speech. It’s not “undermining” Obama — it’s questioning his patriotism.
We need some strong words from Democrats about Lieberman’s attempted takedown of Obama. These words weren’t nearly strong enough.
And what can we do for Cindy? How she taunted Bush, right in his own yard in the tiny Crawford Hamlet. She is a true hero, Ms Smith goes to Washington…have not heard what the constituents think of her, but she has a way of just not going away. Fantastic.
and this guy votes republican whenever we need him
I wonder if soneone could look at the record and find out how many times he voted democrat when his vote would have swung the issue to the republicans position had he voted with them
to my recollection, whenever his vote makes a differance it is republican
for instance, if a vote will definately come down on the republican side no matter what, he can safely vote democrat
when it will definately come down democrat no matter what, he can safely vote deomcrat
but when there is a chance his vote makes the differance, it seems to me it’s always republican
a judas sheep
Too many days late, too many dollars short… Nancy’s got to go. Along with Harry.
I sent Cindy some lunch money. Bless her heart.
I’ll call my rep and senators and make the request if you’ll call yers…
man, you can’t make this stuff up
“Nancy Pelosi Smacks Lieberman Around.”
Wish she had the nerve to smack George W. Bush around some.
And the little prick still teases with the idea that he’ll be the new Zell Miller. Like we don’t already know….
Oh, honey… I’ve got Johnny “DINO” Barrow, and Chambliss and Isakson. [sob]
Aha! A new picture for my office wall! (I’ll always try to find the positive side to anything…)
Because he really is brain damaged…can’t help it. But “we” elected him..twice.
even notjenna looks stunned.
and lauraonvalium noticed it too?
Evan Bayh got his oar in on that one, too, as I recall.)
Evan’s got an oar? Does he use it when he’s racing against speedboats?
(my notes from a Bayh speech I attended a couple of years ago say “this guy wouldn’t bring a knife to a gun-fight – he’d bring candy and flowers.”)
Actually, he was “elected” once and stuffed into the WH by SCOTUS once. I’m not all that sure about the second “election” either, given Diebold, etc.
Hooray for Cindy. In my mind,because Nancy was the person in the best position to stop Bush and didn’t, she is just as guilty of war crimes as Bush.
Pelosi reminds me of the old joke that she has the courage of her lack of conviction. But why single her out? There are a couple hundred Democrats in the Congress that should be slamming Lieberman for the slimey, backstabbing toad that he is.
You’re much more polite than I
probably would have been… actually was at #11… I should probably enroll in etiquette classes.but they are SO dedicated to cordiality, they can’t!
I’d give $100 (can’t afford to, but it ain’t gonna happen)
for somebody to Cheney him. in public. on camera. with the finger too.
OT here, but hanging over from the last thread… Am I the only one who’s got the nagging feeling that somebody pulled the trigger on the “October surprise” a bit early in Georgia?
tepid…if it was one of her elite wines from her vineyard,they would gag on it
I know, I know….so it is hard to write. But both times it was close enough to be “gamed”, as I see it. True, not a straight up election, but he had plenty of support.
He held it up that way because it looks right to him.

The Sith Lord’s dark hand at work.
Saakashvili’s statements are part of his government’s attempt to bring other countries into its war against Russia. During the briefing, Saakashvili noted that he is in constant contact with U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He promised that U.S. warships would be docking in Georgian ports within a few days to make sure they remain open.
raises hand……….can you say keystone slap-happy coppers?
You can Digg Jane’s post HERE!
Let me try that again:
HERE!
Agreed, Hugh. but Pelosi is the SPEAKER (suppposed to be some sort of “leader” I heard, somewhere)
John Mc Ancient,will protect us from all the evil white russians,with or without the Stoli
The Keystone Kops were harmless… This crowd is anything but.
i was amazed at the silence…it was such a beautifully teed up wedge shot being that the smarmy short ride,holds dual citizenship with Israel
tru dat,they just really remind me of them
oopsie is thar another post…i tired
Well, one thing would be to get Cindy Sheehan listed in Blue America, and then throw some serious cash her way.
Bob in HI
Blue America only raises money for Democrats. Cindy’s running as an independent. That’s why Howie’s work for Stephen Porter isn’t done through Blue America, either.
But here’s her website, anyway, for folks who want to check it out, and maybe even help.
What I want to know is where our carrier battle groups are now and where they are going? That could be the big surprise. Georgia for all the angst is a sideshow.
Sure she does. Pull the other one!
Nancy Pelosi is a wimp. WHY? I believe when BushCo started the spying using the telecoms, they targeted her (and many other democratic politicos) specifically and got something. Wouldn’t it be interesting to know just what it is “they” have?? I agree, with JimWhite at #18, she’s just as guilty as everyone else in the current administration. In fact, I’d bet they even spied on their own to get info to keep the repugs in line also…

(a) JoeL isn’t in her House, so it should be Harry the weak Reid making this lukewarnm speech … assuming he could bring himself to say something even remotely bad about his good buddy JoeL.
(b) This stuff should have been said earlier this year, when it became clear to all of us that JoeL prefers elephants. Better yet, given the way he got himself elected last time, they shouldn’t have given him a chairmanship, or at least not one for anything more important than deciding where to put the restrooms in undersea parks.
Why is McCain sending JoeL and little Lindsay to Georgia, since McCain is only a senator, and doesn’t have the authority to send anyone other than his staff anywhere, and JoeL and little Lindsay are also senators, and not diplomats or anything else useful to the situation?
I have the sneaking feeling that if rove was bragging about it, the surprise is going to be something embarrassing for whichever candidate we fielded
remember, the media steared us toward either obama or hillary, they have something on both of them me thinks and will unleash soon
I hold Pelosi in the same high regard as soiled gym socks. To me Pelosi, Reid, and Dean represent how low the Democrat Party has fallen. Compared to them Joe Lieberman ain’t all that bad because they all share the same traits. Only difference is Joe was first at sticking the knife in the Clinton’s backs.
