In The End

Hey, do these words sound familiar?

“It’s time for Joe Lieberman and his friends in the Washington Establishment who distrust Ned Lamont to acknowledge that Ned is now the Democratic Party’s nominee for U.S. Senate, and that we as Democrats undermine our nominee’s credibility at our party and our democracy’s peril.”

Ezra Klein paraphrasing JOE'S OWN WORDS.

Lieberman is the worst sort of politician. A craven, sniveling weasel who will sell every one of his friends and his party to cling to his power. A man who has no use for integrity, ethics, and loyalty, except as a club to beat his fellow travelers down in order to maintain his profile in the most hypocritical, sleazy, underhanded way. He has no compundction at lying, cheating, stealing, or fraud to get his way. He's a sperm-burping gutter whore who blows Fox news in the morning and failed Bush administration officials in the afternoon, while evenings are spent rolling old ladies and setting winos on fire. The interests of his constituents, and the rights of the American People, are so far from his mind he'd have to rent Palomar Observatory telescope to see them. He kicks puppies and collects cats for Bil Frist, and enjoys feeding hamsters to snakes in his spare time.

I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

By all means, the Republicans can have him. He's yours, enjoy it. Except now that he's damaged goods, he's not gonna get any more support from the Right, because they are as craven, cowardly, and disloyal as Joe is.

Joe is going to be treated to a long line of Democrats and the public telling him in letters, by phone, and in person to drop out of the race and not prolong thsi stupid charade any longer, because his looming epic beat down as an independent is going to be bad for his self-respect.

Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards, and Rahm Emmanuel have already this morning come out in support of Ned Lamont. Harry Reid is already being petitioned to strip Lieberman of all his Democratic assignments, if Joe insists on defying the voter's will. Joe is an embarassment, and will become an albatross hanging around the neck of whoever supports him in November. You take him, Republicans, he's yours. If he's such a prize, you guys run him as President in 2008.
