Benedict Lieberman

You smug, self-serving bastard.

Joe Lieberman has decided to run as an independent, or as he calls it a "petitioning Democrat"(whatever in the hell that is supposed to mean), should he lose his primary to Ned Lamont. Way to keep up with the party unity thing. It is one thing to be Bush's favorite Democrat or to provide cover for the right's war-hawking blather. But to betray your party in such a way is arrogant and disgusting. When you lose a primary, you endorse you opponent for the sake of the party. You don't run as an indy and split the vote. This is a total bitch move and I hope Lamont and Connecticut democrats blast him into irrelevancy.

Holy Joe has made a career out of selling out the progressive wing of the party on social issues like censorship and abortion. CT dems were not always happy with that but they liked Joe. They thought he was a good guy. But Iraq and Bush are wildly unpopular in the Northeast and those are this issues that matter right now. Holy Joe supports the war and the President. He is on the wrong side of both issues, knows it, and will run his kamikaze mission anyway.

The Democratic Party has served Lieberman well in his 18 year Senate stint. I wish like hell that Lieberman had served the Party in kind. So fuck you Joe. You made this bed but you’re too much of a wimp to lie in it.
