Sad sack mumbling colostomy bag Joe Lieberman (I-Joe Lieberman) is returning the favor to Barack Obama for not kicking him in the nuts following the 2008 election by possibly not endorsing Obama which historically is the kiss of death of endorsements:
Senator Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut Independent who caucuses with the Democrats, told host John McCaslin on America’s Morning News radio show on Tuesday morning that he had not decided if he would endorse President Obama in 2012:
MCCASLIN: Will you be supporting Barack Obama in 2012 or are you going to be putting your money on a Republican candidate?
LIEBERMAN: Well I haven’t decided and I’m just waiting to see who the Republican candidate is and what President Obama’s positions are at that point, so I got a little time as an independent not to feel rushed, because this is an important position. And I’m only one person but for every one of us who we support next year is going to say a lot about how our kids and grandkids are going to grow up in America, so I’m watching.
[...]
Mr. Lieberman, who endorsed Republican Senator John McCain’s presidential bid in 2008, appeared on America’s Morning News and WLS to discuss his new book “The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath.”
How’d that last endorsement work out in Joe’s home state? Oh, like this:
Obama — 997,772 — 60.59%
McCain — 629,428 — 38.22%
Actually, the “Gift of Rest” will hopefully be not having to listen to Joe’s Droopy Dog voice ever again…

“so I got a little time as an independent not to feel rushed, because this is an important position.” Christ, only Joe Lieberman can make prevarication, procrastination and hypocritical toadyism sound like something out of the Kama Sutra. Sadly for Joe, screwing everyone in site while royally fucking over his constituents and the country (including, of course, his grand kids) is the closest thing to sex he’ll ever get.
Joe who?
There goes the weasly douchebag vote. How will Obama survive?!?!
That I would be OK with. But if it means we no longer get to hear Jon Stewart’s impersonation of it, that would be a bad thing.
Joe’s “constiuents,” Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, CIGNA, Travelers, United Health, et al., are quite well represented. The voters, well…
Judging by the low comment numbers on this thread, it looks like absolutely nobody cares what Joe thinks about anything.
Connecticut For Lieberman: Another Third Party. Seems to work.
Thank you for this. I’ve always preferred “less than useless” as a prefix, but this will do nicely.
There. I fixed the Moonie Times‘ typos.
Joe thinks? I always thought they inserted punch cards with pre-programmed responses.
LAMONT!!!!
Chapter One: Fluffing
Chapter Two: Living off the stress of others
Chapter Three: Making Friends with Enemies and vice versa
Joe finally gets it that the tea party is insane. His base is crazy. For some reason, his Senatorial demeanor collapes, and he begins to lick tea bags that then fall off his chin.
Or, perhaps: “Chapter Three: Making Friends with Enemas and vice versa”
Somehow seems a better fit for Joe, given that he’s never found an enemy he couldn’t grow to love for the right amount of silver…
Based on Joe’s all-round “restful” mental capacity and utter lack of concern for his fellow citizens, I’m guessing he discovered that the sabbath is now observed on any day ending in “y.”
Yep. That was better. Well done.
I hate this motherf*cker.
Thanks for clearing up his “present” choice for President.
(And I still can’t figure out who votes for him other than righties – but in CT? Doesn’t make sense unless Diebold is counting the ballots – like everywhere else.)

I thought JoeL did caucus with them, following which he passed all the news to his good buddies in the R party.
You forgot AIPAC.
I guess the original book title didn’t test well:
“the gist of rift, redistributing the bounty of the saboteur”
too honest, pumpkinhead
Now that I’ve finished LMAO, I’ll finish reading the post.
Ok, now I’ve finised reading and I’m fuming. Why is this sickening parasite still in the DP. I will never understand it. What precisely does he offer the DP that they keep him around?
I’ll add my voice to the chorus who thinks that a rejection by Lieberman is Obama’s surest path to re-election. It is to be encouraged, nay, demanded.
Let’s see: the Republicans running are Bachmann, Perry, Romney, Gingrich, Cain, Paul, & Santorum. So Joe thinks he might prefer one of them? Really? I know it’s been said many times and in many places, but fuck you, Joe, you self-important, self-righteous prig.
Wasn’t Droopy Obama’s mentor? If so, that explains Obama’s kick the leftist strategery.
