All signs point to: asshole
As head of the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, Senator Joe Lieberman (I- His Own Bad Self) has previously shown no interest in looking into totally bo-ring subjects such as torture, massive government failure during Katrina, war profiteering and fraud, and the eight years of general fuckedupedness that occurred during the administration of that guy he used make out with.
But sometimes a man has to stand up and do what’s right and what is in the best interests of his country and damn the consequences, he doesn’t care what anyone thinks, because enough is enough.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
This, of course, has nothing to do with Joe Lieberman who is a self-aggrandizing homunculus.
But Joe is going to investigate “Czars? Do We Really Need’em?”:
As Greg Sargent first reported, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) will preside over a hearing on presidential “czars” in his Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. The hearing will be this Thursday, and the scheduled witnesses are Tom Ridge, George Mason University Prof. James Pfiffner, former OLC Lee Casey, and Harold Relyea, formerly of the Congressional Research Service.
As Sargent previously noted:
Hey, so guess who is mulling new legislation to solve the alleged problem of Obama’s “czars”? Joe Lieberman!
He may even hold hearings on the czars, as the chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Since this will confer legitimacy on an attack that has mostly emanated from Glenn Beck and the hothouse right, it could prompt an “I told you so” chorus from those who argued that Lieberman should be stripped of his committee slots.
[...]
In fairness, we don’t know what Lieberman’s goals are; his spokesperson declined to clarify.
In all fairness, we do know what Joe Lieberman’s goal is : Promote Joe Lieberman.

Maybe we can get Joe to drop this hearing, even though it is vital to Homeland Security (I’m still trying to figure out how) by appointing him Czar of Douchbagginess in Politics. It’s a natural fit, and from my vantage point, he would preside over thousands of qualified indiviuals.
Seriously, what’s next, a panel to discuss the construction and location of the Obama re-education camps?
I know this is universal in the reality based community, but I really, really, hate this fucking guy. Everytime I look at him, I think of him rolling over against Cheyney in the 2000 VP debates. On my timeline, that is the Day One of the New Millenium Dark Ages.
Dude’s gravitas just about sucked me through the computer screen.
I think it is the duty of every good American to shove a cream pie in Holy Joe’s sanctimonious puss.
I’m wondering how long it will be before Holy Joe starts his “investigation” into the high crimes and misdemeanors of Obama. I’ve already seen astroturf calls for such things, as well as editorials making the “case” for impeachment. So I guess it’s just a matter of time before Joe decides he really needs to look into this charges. Just to show his non-partisan cred, don’t you know.
Sadly, Reid would undoubtedly refuse to yank Joe’s chairmanship or take any other action against him. After all, except for everything, Joe’s with us on nothing.
Remember when the argument for letting Lieberman keep his chairmanship was that “He’ll vote with the Democrats on the important things,”? Right. Harry Reid seems remarkably spry for someone who’s been stabbed in the back by Lieberman so many times.
Hell, whats there that could be damaged? Certainly not a backbone…
Good point. It’s not malice that causes Lieberman to backstab – it’s just Joe being Joe. If Lieberman was malicious he’d hide Harry’s kneepads.
I agree, Joe’s not being malicious. A scorpion is not malicious, it’s just a scorpion. One sees an image of Harry swimming across the Great Senatorial River with Joe on his back, stinger poised. If one is not Harry Reid himself, that is. One too many right crosses for old Harry.
Liebernotman just got p’od because President Kenyatta threatened to take away the anti-trust protection from his insurance company pimps in Connecticut. Also too, Hadassah won’t be able to bring in as much money into the Liebernotman household if Kenyatta passes the healthcare reform bill that the DFHs want him to pass.
Truly, President Kenyatta has Lieberdouche’s income streams in his cross hairs, thus the stinger is out and poised for use. Don’t think he won’t use it, because he will, and all the while whining in his best Droopy dog that he had to for the good of the country.
As a person who married into a Jewish family, I can tell you that not only do I hate this sancimonious fucker, all my Jewish relatives do too.
In 2000 that was the start for me as well. According to my crack research he is the Manchurian candidate. And in that move and in several others in Florida and via telephone he has literally F’d the Democratic party. He is bought and paid for…the question is by who, AIPAC? Or hybrid influences within/between the republican and blue dogs. Lets just call them the Chamber of Commerce/Military Industrial Complex/Kinneset
Stripping him would have set a wonderful tone. Never let him in a policy meeting or anywhere near classified information. Get him away from Homeland Security, his ties to certain Israeli Info Sys companies will have our communications leaking more than they already are. The scientist that was arrested for soliciting to pass info to Israel was just the tip of the iceberg unfortunately.
Joe’s 2006 campaign illegally paid “volunteers” and slandered the Democrat that the CT Democrats elected in the primary. Joe’s campaign went to Teabagger/Miami 2000 Recount tactics with paid Republicans.
Wholly, Holy Toxic Toad Joe.
