A berserker stance and a righteous thirst for destruction

As Jane pointed out, Joe Lieberman (Insufferable Dickhead – CT) and his happy band of Morals Warriors are taking on the important issues of the day. In this case, video games:

Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT), Sam Brownback (R-KS), Evan Bayh (D-IN), and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) called for a thorough review of the video game ratings process in the wake of "Manhunt 2" receiving a "Mature" rating. In a letter to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), the Senators detailed how the change in rating opened the door to widespread release of the game, which depicts acts of horrific violence. The Senators underscored that a review would continue the industry’s commitment to enforcing their ratings system and providing parents with the information they need to choose games for their children that are age appropriate.

As Joe would no doubt tell you, if you had any interest in listening to the grating sound of his mewling whine , horrific simulated violence has no place in the American home when there is real Joe-approved mayhem available to anyone over eighteen with a hankering to go L1, triangle, square, cross, R1, triangle, circle, square on some Muslim ass in any one of the many Freedom levels in Neo-Con Lords of War: The Feithing.

The phlegmatic and insipid Senator, whose very presence provokes forced smiles and deeply repressed loathing from his fellow senators, seems to have quite a bit of time to spend laying on the couch and playing games when he really should be doing his chores like taking out the trash for Haddasah, shaking his finger at his colleagues who hate his fucking guts with an unrequited fiery passion, and cleaning out that Katrina mess that’s been mildewing up his closet for some time now.

Unfortunately the obnoxious little homunculus from Connecticut has other fish to fry like stirring up interest in next year’s release Neo-Con Lords of War: Podhoretz’s Gambit. For those who are interested, the detestable little crapweasel has announced that he will be offering beta copies of the game for testing free to anyone filling out a simple application found here.
