Barack Obama, who is just killing time until he becomes the Black President of Us All, sits a quivering Senator Joe Lieberman (R-What?) down and explains that he is very disappointed in him:
Furthermore, during a Senate vote Wednesday, Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation.
While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating.
Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.
Still, Obama and Lieberman seemed to be trying to keep the back-and-forth congenial as they both patted each other on the back during and after the exchange.
Afterwards, Obama smiled and pointed up at reporters peering over the edge of the press gallery for a better glimpse of their interaction.
Obama loyalists were quick to express their frustration with Lieberman’s decision and warned that if he continues to take a lead role in attacking Obama it could complicate his professional relationship with the Caucus.
We, of course, have the video….

It’s about time someone laid their vengeance upon Sore Loserman.
The quotes from Lieberman after the “conversation” showed Barney Fife was gone and replaced by Mr Limpet.
What’s complicated about being a traitor? One of the many joys of having the Democrats pick up more seats this November will be seeing Lieberman thrown under a bus. My guess is that his personal courage is so great that he’ll morph into Democrat Joe to forestall the tire marks on his sorry ass.
Please. The only “professional relationship” Joe can have with the Dem caucus after Nov 1 is as a bad example, as in: “all you blue dogs, try to stick to basic Democratic notions of decency or we’ll kick you out like we did with Joe — whatever happened to him? He’s over there“
Harry Reid may not have the stomach to strip Holy Joe of all his committee posts, but you can be damn sure President Obama will make it happen (with whatever arm-twisting is necessary). And I’ll be eating popcorn.
Perfect!!!
God this makes me so happy. I think I may have to fall asleep for a number of years just imagining what Obama said to Lieberman. Actually, in my most fevered dreams I can’t really imagine it, but I’ll try.
How about this:
Joe, I’m only going to say this once. Sit down and shut up or when I get to the White House the first thing I’m doing is calling up Hadassah’s big pharma friends and telling her you are both persona non grata here.
Or
Joe, I’m no Harry Reid, you feel me?
Or
Joe, Hamas said to say hello.
aimai
You win a Big Kahuna Burger for this one!
Just the thought of Obama making Joe’s undies feel more than a little too bunched up made me smile. I’m looking forward to a LOT more of this…
I really think the I’m the guns of Navarrone motherfucker, motherfucker quote would have been more appropriate.
Oh, and how badly do the Padres suck? I mean, they’re like the Taylor Marsh of the Bigs.
T: Thanks. I love “Pulp Fiction” even more than I despise Liebershmuck.
MSM: Let’s see if we can lip-read from this distance: “Your days of jerking the Party around are numbered and even AIPAC Knows this; so don’t pull a ‘Zell Miller’ on us, Ho-Jo. And in case you’re thinking of making the big jump: McCain could have a heart attack tomorrow, leaving you supporting a substitute whose core constituency makes the Nazis look like the Welcome Wagon. And just to impress upon you how tenuous your committee chairmanships many be, if you piss me off in the slightest between now and November, my first act as President will be to kill Hatch-Waxman*!
*Think of H-W as a patent extender for Big Pharma. One of the most lucrative areas for BigPharma is the development and licensing of intellectual property.
“ENGLISH, motherfucker! Do you speak it??????”
Thanks TBogg, love your stuff and your commenters.
The folks at the great orange satan played the “lip reading” game yesterday:

My preference would be something more like this (with a few liberties taken)…
JL: “Somethin’ on your mind?”
BO: “Just want to let you know you’re not sittin’ in that chair much longer.”
JL: “Is that a fact?”
BO: “Yeah, that’s a fact.”
BO: “Well for a man that don’t go heeled you run your mouth kind of reckless don’t ya?”
BO: “No need to go heeled to get the bulge on a dub like you.”
JL: “Is that a fact?”
BO: “Mmmm. That’s a fact.”
JL: “Well, I’m real scared.”
BO: “Damn right you’re scared. I can see that in your eyes. Go ahead, skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.”
JL: “Listen mister, I, I, I’m gettin’ awful tired of your…”
BO: “I’m gettin’ tired of your gas, now jerk that pistol and go to work. I said throw down boy.”
*BO smacks JL about the mouth*
BO: “You gonna do somethin’ or just stand there and bleed? No? I didn’t think so.”
BO to JL: “I’m your huckleberry”
In France, that would be a Royale.
JL: Don’t mess with one of the Neocons’ Chosen People, BO; you still need our money to get elected!
BO: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the Neocons, I shall fear no evil; for I am the meanest sonofabitch in the valley! Ho-Jo, “The Wolfman” couldn’t get the blood off your hands with a friggin’ cootie comb!
Bassets…where are the bassets? I need Basset Blogging!
Just popped in thinking the same thing. It’s Thursday, time for droopy dog pix.
Next I’d love to see Michelle get a private moment to open up a can of whoopass on Geraldine Ferraro.
Me, too.
That Geraldine really miscalculated.
And I”ll throw in my two cents for what it’s worth…http://www.tagg-theangrygayguy.com
Dateline Washington, 1/21/09: President Obama strikes down with great vengeance on Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman when Lieberman asks “What?” one too many times.
The ghost of LBJ raises his glass of scotch-and-water, takes three gulps, and says, “Hellsfire! I haven’t seen the Treatment since I! left”
My first take on this was that you were making it up. I am still not quite 100% certain…
Holy Joe is going to find his way out the door – maybe several doors – before this is all over and done with:
1. The Dems won’t be a’needin’ him no mo’ for their majority in the Senate, so they don’t have to fellate him any more.
2. His usefulness to the GOP will go south when McCain gets beaten like a rented goalie, come hockey season… (Kudos to the Red Wings)
3. By Jiltin’ Joe’s next election cycle, the Dems will put him out to pasture in Connecticut. Joe, I hope you like eatin’ oats — and grass with cow pies in it.
4. Joe WILL have his seniority and chairmanships withdrawn. Obama won’t tolerate Benedict Lieberman in among the good guys. (Another reason for the good people of CT to oust his sorry GOP-lubed other-end. Seniority is something they will have to start building up again, with another Senator, but they will have to live with his sorry, lame, duck tail.)
5. Joe’s Senate bench seat will be moved to the other side of the aisle one weekend, and his nameplate will be changed to “Lieberman, Connecticut, Republican”. He will not only not caucus, but he will be ejected from the party. THEY have some say in it, too, you know…
re #2 above, I meant to add: Like Noriega, Saddam and the Shah, Joe will feel what it is like to no longer be the favored son. And I don’t think Panama will take him. Iran? Hahahaha! Iraq! That is it! Joe, there are some really good buys in the Green Zone!
