Will McCain really pick Lugubrious Lieberman? Why? He’s already got the pro-Israel vote. I’m not looking forward to this:  I’d rather hear a buzzsaw tearing through sheet metal than listen to Lieberman’s voice.

I think they’re going to have a giant screen as a backdrop, then when the time is right, all the indicted and imprisoned GOP operatives will teleconference in and deliver a speech in tandem.

It’s gonna be beautiful.

Need a massive kick to Lierman’s balls the day before his scheduled speech, to burn up his oxygen. Every skeleton in the closet should be tugged rattling out, and they should formally strip him of all his committee assignments. So what if there is no practical effect? We’re into kabuki here.

At least the “labor day of losers” republican convention didn’t have to be bailed out by the nominee’s campaign money.  At least Lieberman isn’t a hypocrite like Gore.

Truth be told, Democrats wish they hadn’t lost Lieberman.  Who’s the sore loser here?

Um, last time I checked there were still a few Lieberman supporters on the left.

Dems are angry to have lost Lieberman, plain and simple.  If you didn’t care about the loss, then why all the fuss.

This article is more about the so called “Labor day of losers”.  I quite think the democratic convention is far more lame, having failed in its widely advertised effort to offset the convention’s carbon footprint not to mention its budget overruns.

Then, the Democrats continue to allow contention from the clinton supporters.  I don’t know which party is more fragmented. 

It would be more advisable to criticize the party chairman that mismanaged the Democratic convention, or to criticize hillary clinton supporters than it would an old veteran who happens to stand on principle.

I’d hardly call a party in shambles when it leads pre-convention polls.

Nothing to do with thread. Just a respectful request to lose the Pam Anderson ad. I just keep getting grossed out by the third arm!

Does this make Joe Lieberman the new Zell Miller?

Interesting comparison of Lieberman vs. Gore. Gore spoke up and condemned Bush’s push to war in 2002, and was proven correct. Lieberman shilled for the war and continued to do so long after the Iraq war was shown to be a move of tremendous stupidity. Any hostility towards Gore and favorability towards Lieberman is merely resentment at having to accept that Gore is a better decision maker and has better moral judgment than Lieberman and his suporters.

Don’t be a hater, Gore-haters. The man’s simply better than you are, and Lieberman’s simply a deceitful jerk. Learn to deal, rather than lining up with the deceitful jerk to make your own moral shortcomings seem more acceptable.

Oh please oh please OH PLEASE! Pick the Liebertool!

If Liebertool gets it, I’m taking the Sega CD out of the attaic and playing Night Trap just because I know that would piss him off.

> Well, one.  By Zogby.  And it’s about to lose two dozen or so seats in Congress.  And likely the presidency.  And the current president is an embarrassment.  And…

And nobody has a crystal ball.  After what Pelosi pulled on the floor of congress a couple weeks back, Democrats will fare worse than you think.

Zogby is always either right on target, or horribly, totally wrong/out-to-lunch as far as being a pollster goes. Much like PPP.

Hey look - a new troll! They’re so cute when they’re young.

“Hey look - a new troll! They’re so cute when they’re young. “

So are tigers.

“Besides Vice Presidential Nominee Mittens, who’s speaking the other three nights?  Rudy?  Fred Thompson?  Someone who’s held elective office in this half of the decade?

It’s one of the most critically undercovered stories about John McCain’s Republican Party - ...it’s going to be a Labor Day of losers followed by three days of country music and occasionally snide speechifying.”

Jindal’s governor of Louisiana. Romney’s term in Massachusetts ended in 2007. Palin and Pawlenty are both governors, although I don’t know if they’ll get speaking roles (both are being considered for VP). For another sample, the Democrats will have Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, and John Edwards ran for the nomination without having occupied any elected office since 2004. The Dems’ 2000 Presidential candidate is out of electoral politics, and VP candidate from that year is speaking at the Republican convention.

So, what are you talking about? Do you just, like, imagine something you want to be true and write it down?

From the lukewarm support I see, I get the sense that a lot of senior Republicans secretly view the next Presidential term as a write-off, and don’t really care if McCain wins or loses.

Just one more actual Democrat in the Senate, and then they can kick that simpering, self-righteous Uriah Heep to the curb so goddamn fast…

Oh, and I strongly second AlexanderBuinov on the PETA ad. It’s not as gross as the one where the guy in the chicken suit is flayed and burned alive, or whatever, but it’s pretty bad.

Wow! So the republicans are going to get some of that hot Lieberman charisma? I’m so jealous.

If the dems pick up a few more seats(enough to cement their majority)they damn well better strip Joe of his committees.

Far better to dump him now, before we pick up seats “pour encourager les autres”
As long as Lieberdems think that we cant touch them because we need them their behavior wont improve

That photo is worse than the one that inspired the Kiss Float. 

I don’t mind the man-love, peace be, it’s just the idea of holding a *Republican* male in that position for the Viennese Waltz, as it were.

I’d hardly call a party in shambles when it leads pre-convention polls.

Excuse me?  Ummm… you got one.  One out of at least ten nationally recognized polls.  Uno.

I’m pretty sure Obama is leading in every other major national poll except that…. one.

You’re deluding yourself if you actually believe that McCain is now leading in the polls, because he isn’t.

Obama is leading in the polls, McCain is leading in a poll.

Get your facts straight, sparky.

Hey look - a new troll! They’re so cute when they’re young.

I think this one is going for the McCain tote bag, but you know it’s really that tire gage he has his heart set on.

Heh, Lieberman couldn’t even win the VP nomination for the Connecticut for Lieberman party.

The sellout will be complete at the GOP convention, when Joe announces that he’s converting to be an evangelical Baptist, and undergoes full-immersion baptism live, on the convention stage,  coming out of the water to accept the nomination for VP.

Think I’m wrong? Hey, these are the same jerks that wore purple-heart bandaids in 2004. Nothing is beneath them.

Lieberman’s sell-out isn’t complete yet? Who knew?

From the lukewarm support I see, I get the sense that a lot of senior Republicans secretly view the next Presidential term as a write-off, and don’t really care if McCain wins or loses.

I think you may be right there. In fact, I’d currently regard the presidency as something of a poisoned chalice…

Why is he selling? And what has he been paid? He’s probably not a front runner for the VP nomination (although picking him would probably pull a lot of Jews to the GOP, it would alienate fetus-obsessed right-wingers).  He and McCain are personally friends, both have been attacked within their parties for being too moderate, and they agree on the foreign policy issues that are a centerpiece of McCain’s campaign, and differ significantly from Obama’s. 

I don’t know why people think Republicans and Democrats all hate each other.  Bloggers are like Red Sox and Yankee fans and these guys are like the players, just going to work.  They all go to the same parties. They hang out together.  Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsberg get together for New Year’s every year.  Gary Hart was in John McCain’s wedding.  John Kerry vetted McCain as a potential running mate in 2004, and, if he had been elected, would have nominated McCain as Secretary of Defense. 

John McCain certainly has more in common personally with a lot of Senate Democrats than he does with the religious fanatics he has to suck up to as the Republican nominee.  Senator McCain was unfortunately more admirable than nominee McCain, and author and professor Obama was much more admirable than nominee Obama.

I just figured out what that is!
You know that pencil-under-the-boob test?

Looks like Pamela Anderson stuck an entire person under there—and she’s fighting to get out.
