Fuck Joe Lieberman

Lev Davidovich Wuerffel    Politics     Barry the Uniter, Fuck, Lieberman

Like all good lefties, I’m pretty pissed off that Joe the Turncoat Senator will get to keep his cushy chair of the Homeland Security Committee. Still, I understand that the Dems are nearing the 60-seat, filibuster-proof majority, causing their loins to engorge with blood that rushes from their brains, as happens in rutting elks. Hence, they couldn’t help themselves from bringing Lieberman back into their caucus, lest he go fully Republican, instead of continuing to be a stealth Republican.

Also, Barry the Uniter needed to not have his party going all tribal and stringing up dissidents, so I’m sure his public two cents suggesting no punishment for Lieberman mattered. But Barry came from Chicago’s hard-core political scene: I can assure you that he has Lieberman firmly by the short and curly hairs, and Joe knows it. The next time Barry needs something from that committee, I bet he gets it. The evidence was all in Joe’s fawning and thankful comments about Barry, and his mewling apology for the things he said about him on the campaign trail.
