I’ll get back to you on that seeing Joe’s phony phace 24/7..

Oh man! He’s with us on everything but the war. meme would have to die because the Dems keep funding the war in full bipartisan BS.

is worth the price of having his sanctimonious puss on TV 24/7.

You are a true patriot.

(*shudder*)

My deepest fear about having Lieberman on the ticket is that the party machinery would pull their punches because one, he’s still one of the boys, and two, he knows where the bodies are buried on a lot of them, too.

Don’t want to pick at that scab too hard. No telling what might come out.

Oh, hell.

I wonder why Holy Joe didn’t run on the platform of “staying in Iraq 4-evah, and screwing the Democratic party at every possible moment.”

‘Cuz lying got him re-elected.

Too bad it will take four more years for Connecticut to rectify that mistake.

Right On, Jane!!!
NO ONE gets to the crux as quickly and thoroughly as you do.
well, ALMOST no one (thinking of the other writers on this site),
but really!
that was exactly
RIGHT ON!
i been DREADING having to see more Lieman around, but that would make it worth it.
and God Bless Lamont. He IS coming back, right????
thanks!
pax!

…the comity pimps…

Wow! Nice!

i’m with ya on that wish, jane.

exactly, it will force the d’s to see that he is a turncoat and was a wolf in sheep’s clothing all along.

Don’t want to pick at that scab too hard. No telling what might come out.

We can probably rest assured any dirt he has on the Dems has already been laid at the stylishly loafered feet of his McLove-muffin.

As for Joe as running mate, it makes for a consistent theme - two men who have completely lost their way.

My mom - a lifelong Dem who is 77 - said to me that McCain “used to be a real person.” I’m not sure if that’s true, but at least in 1980 he was more of a happy warrior.

Lieberman, however, has always been a putz.

comity pimps of the party

Jane, that kind of language is what I stick around FDL for!

Hey, maybe the Repub party will, as a show of total commitment, make JoeLie relinquish his Senate seat in order to run as McCrazy The Lesser.

On a tactical level I agree that having Lieberman as McCain’s running mate would be a good thing.
BUT, it is just too damn dangerous. A tactical advantage is simply not worth the risk of waking up some day to a President Lieberman.

I think they have known this all along. Just to weak and spineless to do anything about it.

But he’s with us on every…
Oh, wait.

Hi Jane,

Could you possibly have someone ask Rahm or Steny what they think about Alan Grayson’s win tonight?

McCain/Lieberman 2008.

Because everyone loves the two old muppets in the balcony.

-G

I’ve considered it carefully, and I’ve decided that forcing the Democratic oppo shops to research his ugly record on Alito, energy, Homeland Security oversight, etc. and show that he wasn’t, in fact, “with us on everything but the war” is worth the price of having his sanctimonious puss on TV 24/7.

are you sure they will do it? can they be forced?

and what if mccain doesn’t loose?

on this jane, i’m hoping only that lieberman pulls a zell, looks idiotic and then fades into the background. blech.

Does anyone have the schedule of speakers tomorrow? I’m trying to plan if I can get anything done or not.

It would be too fun to run against McCain and Liebermann. Almost cruel.

Don’t want to pick at that scab too hard. No telling what might come out.

Fuck ‘em - bring it. McCrazy, hissownself, has enough dirt on him that that’s a losing battle for the Repubs.

Biden probably knows a few extra tidbits too.

OR, you could just say something like “AL WYNN” and walk away slowly… don’t turn your back on them, though.

McAuliffe (Dog help me) making the Dems case with flame.
But coming from him, I’m plenty scared.

Will Ned run again at some point? He deserves to be in the Senate instead of Slummy Joe.

Joe Lieberman, like David Gregory, is a FUCKING ASSHOLE.

Just sayin’

I’d be much more likely to vote for the muppets.

Now that’s a good one!! Boy the commercials!!

Almost cruel.

You say that like it’s a bad thing…

i wanna see the d leadership have to realize that and fight the forker hard and defeat the ticket. i also wanna see the forker shunned on the hill by every d after mcsame loses.

um - meant 2000

A good thing. I’m expecting Bill and Joe to rip. Could be that Obama will spell things out clearly Thursday night as well. I heard on NPR this morning that he’s not planning a great Berlin or Oregon type speech. It’s to be less rhetorical and more down to the basics. If Obama slams, watch out!

Okay, I rarely do this, but I’m gonna copy something here that I wrote downstairs.
…this will be my Swan Comment for tonight. Looking at Terry McAulif (can’t spell right now) and thinking, man, a few better decisions here and there and Hillary could have been the nominee.
Close, but No Cigar.
Hardee har har.

Jacqrat- I trust that *someone* on the team has thought of that! Or, if not, Howie needs to get Jane on the phone asap. ;) That would be a moment.

I figured they’d think of it, but who knows how many margaritas they’ve had tonight?

It would have been great if Obama had selected Dodd - (and McCain Liebershits) Lieberman couldn’t even give McCain Connecticut no matter how many Repugs voted for them.

Lieberman couldn’t even give McCain Connecticut

I tend to think that Connecticut would *love* another shot at Lieberman….

I can’t see Lieberweasel being the veep candidate

Goopers are busy now crafting a platform that includes constitutional amendments to ban abortion. Lieberweasel is pro choice…will never happen in my opinion. Attorney General? Even that’s a stretch.

Hey Pups Thanks to RufusKing Digg is open for your Digging pleasure (:>))
Oh and Liarman as the VP running mate for McSame would be my dream Ticket /s What fun we would have with McSame and Liarman I can just see the puns now!
Liarman and McSame as a duo on Vaudville ..McSame says Sunni terraist and Liarman kicks him you know where and say no no it’s Shia it’s it’s Shia terraist… whatss samatter for you??

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me.

Ned showed up in Denver?

WHOOO FUCKING HOOOO!

Right on! Eleventy!!!! Eleven !!!

That just made my entire day, besides VG sending me the Holy Grail of home canning!

Smooches honey!!

I loves this place.

My contempt for Joe Lieberman is infinite and eternal, but I loves Valley Girl!

I would imagine that he’s a delegate.

but it would be satisfying to watch the party machinery forced to turn against him nonetheless and admit what we all know two years ago.

Much as I’d love to see karma take that long overdue dump on Joe Lieberman, is there any real interest among the movers and shakers in the party to do this to him if he’s the Veep nominee? After all, that would mean that at least a few of the “comity pimps” (love the term, BTW) would have to admit that they were wrong.

Not being a Democratic insider, it’s hard for me to judge things like this.

I have to say that I miss Petrocelli being here to discuss Hillary’s outfits. (Tonight, the same outfit in a proper color would have been wonderful.)

The BOOK or some goodies in a canning jar??

Thanks Jane.

If Lieberweasel were the veep candidate–the ticket wouldn’t get more than 75% of the gooper vote. Christian conservatives would organize to make sure McBush lost….

What you didn’t like the Orange Jump suit??? She look like she shoulda been on one of those clean up crews on the freeway! The only thing missing was the pokeum stick and a big Orange Bag!

I thought Bill and Hillary both looked great- rested and confident- and having a great time….I enjoyed seeing them

i thought it was a wonderful color on her. was very upbeat and sunny and showed spirit - all important visual cues to her peeps.

The book, THE OMFG, 50 cent ORIGINAL!!

Teh awesome!

That would even things out, I suppose. Right now Obama’s sitting somewhere around 75% with his own party. All the more reason to root for Joe.

Yeah there are some in both parties who are not happy with the party selection- Lieberweasel has pretty high ratings on his voting record from most liberal groups—could deliver a terminal blow to the ticket.

A nice olive green, chocolate brown, or even deep indigo would have been wonderful.

Does that mean You are going to do the canning of some fabulous goodies??? And send some to all the late late night Pups??

How nice for you!

Jacqrat would like to remind Valley Girl that she loves PIE.

Jewish Democrats go high tech to fight anti-Obama smears.

Link.

-G

Too bright imho. I’m Hillary’s age, and wouldn’t even consider wearing “persimmon” in front of a large group. Sure didn’t take away from her terrific message though.

Wow.

When did Jane Hamsher discover the top row of her keyboard?

We were fucking right.

those can all be perceived as somber and perhaps even mournful - she needed to show how sunny and perky and excited she was about bo. i think her tangerine suit was a great color to convey an upbeat message - and it played very well with her skin and hair.

Sorry, I haven’t been watching. Was this what she was wearing? Looks pretty chocolaty to me.

Given the garish colors in the background, just about any earth tone would probably work.

Lieberman: The sidekick’s sidekick.

Pie? Did someone mention Pie?? It is almost time for the MacIntosh apples to ripen :>) I can see Apple Pies in my future with lots of cinnamon and sugar on the top!!

this is the outfit

I think from what Biden and HRC have shown, Slimy Joe ain’t gonna be safe from the Dem Party no mo . . . *G*
Even *shudder* Pelosi has cased on him . . .

Fading fast…BTW, nice video of Aravosis interviewing Jane up at A’blog.
Goodnight, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.

I think it looks good on her. It’s been her signature color for some time, I think.

It might be a little bright given the background, but good lighting could take care of that. Presumably, some of that $70M went toward a light system and someone who can program it.

i thought so too - it looked good to me

Not that, Suz linked to the outfit she wore tonight. I just don’t like it. I think she should have worn something special tonight. A long dress would have been nice, knowing that she likes to cover her legs. She’s been boring in her clothes, trivial as this seems. Check Michelle’s astute taste.

pirate radio upstairs

I’m not a fashion cop, but I thought the orange/persimmon? was STRONG! VIBRANT!

And it matched the flawless delivery she gave . . . her complexion and hair suit what she wore, too.

But I’m not a fashion cop and I have NO training in said matters . . . *G*

I DO know what I like . . . though. *G*

I thought she looked great.

And run the slide show to get a real overall perspective of how she looked in the outfit.

One pic alone doth not a true picture tell . . . *G*

Since I didn’t hear the speech, either, it’s hard for me to judge, but it seems possible she was going for symbolism. As in “I’m on the campaign trail, and now it’s to support this guy”. If the speech didn’t match that message, it might not have made sense, but from this article that’s the impression I got.

Obama has had some problem attracting Clinton supporters. Tying an old visual symbol to a new purpose seems like a good idea.

As a part shot .. even these Californians hate Slummy Joe:

Lieberman = Dangerous

Don’t forget - these NeoConvicts have demonstrated that they are willing to do virtually anything (including murder) to seize/retain power.

Sexpionage, blackmail, false flag attacks and assassination. ANYTHING. There is a cohort for whom the thought of a “President Lieberman” is just too delicious to pass up. If they are willing to do virtually ANYTHING to make it happen, take off your moral filter and see their version of reality for what it is. They not only know where all the bodies are buried, they have it all on audio tape, video tape and still photos. They know all the co-conspirators by name and the numbers of their foreign banks accounts. They have their own dark ways of accomplishing change that are described by our own defense department as:

Ruthless and cunning.

Amen to what you said, Jane.

F*cking Joe has got to go. The only thing better than him being on the ticket is his having to return to the Sentate twice defeated for veep. Where will he go? Who will care?

delicious.
