I’ve signed petitions, written to my senator and representative, to Sen. Reid, to Rachel Maddow, and to my friends, urging them to sign petitions. If we all work at it – we can get rid of the trojan horse.

The anger against Joe Lieberman goes back to 2006. He was not the only Senator who continued to support a forever occupation.

But even then he was unique as a Democrat in going out of his way to taunt those whose support he demanded.

I’m late to this discussion, but I am so glad to read someone doing this analysis, which I think is spot on. Thanks very much, PW.

that’s an angle I hadn’t thought of: I’ll be addressing this later today and making sure my monday AM calls to DC will specifically speak to Lieberman undermining the new president the way he did to clinton.

what a disgusting piece of shit he is, a vile traitor, a liar and untrustworthy. He really needs to have his ass handed to him.

Dont’ get personal?? Harry knows best??

Screw that attitude and screw what Reid says!
The matter should be removed from his control and sent to an independent ethics panel. WE’re here today, precisely because of Harry’s personal friendship with Lieberman, and his inept control of the Senate.

Let’s consider the following: Joe won his re-election by telling the Connecticut voters that Harry Reid had promised he would retain his seniority and Chair even though he was now an Independent. That promise not only cut the legs out from under the real Democrat Lamont, but stirred the Republicans into vote for him.

Harry’s response about Joe’s claims of an unethical pre-election promise was “I made no such commitment to Joe.” Harry Reid lied.

Now comes Joe Lieberman,in a second promise to voters that he would hold a 2nd hearing on the Administrations handling of Katrina, if elected, since Harry Reid had promised he would retain his Chair of the relevant oversight Committee.

Republicans get Joe into office. Joe is, in fact, given his seniority and Chair back and in an apparent quid pro quo to his Republican supporters and a personal rebuke to the Democrats for not supporting him, Independent Senator Joe Lieberman cancels the promised 2nd hearing on one of the worst natural disasters in American history, and the beginning of the end of both the Republican party, and the Bush Administration.

Harry AND Joe should both be ordered to step aside.

Ode to Lieberman (to the tune “The Boxer”)

I am just a toady
and my toadiness is old,
I have squandered my position
in the Democratic caucus,
such are promises
All lies and jest,
Still a toady shills for anyone
he thinks will help him best ..mmmmmm…

When I left my home
and my family
I was no more than an “I”
In the company of neocons
In the noisy St. Paul RNC, and
telling lies
really low,
seeking out the right-wing zealots
where the richest people go
speaking platitudes
that they already know

Lie-la-lie
Lie-la lie-lie, lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la lie-lie, lie-lie-lie, lie LIE-BERMAN.

My thoughts were running along those same lines. Liebermann ,McCains first choice for VP, has ties to CUFI[Christians United for Israel],John Hagee’s Assembly of God organization.Liebermann gave their keynote address this summer in DC,AFTER McCain diavowed(?) Hagee. Now, McCain was in charge of the Abramof investigation at the BIA. McCain WITHEL MOST of the damning evidence,its tsill under lock and key. Much related to GOP foreign funding. Lieberman and McCain are BOTH gatekeepers-that’s why McCain wanted Joe for VP.Check out this link for some REALLY interesting info: SENATOR McCOVER-UP: Abramoff & the GOP Foreign Money Machine
