Traitor Joe: Sure, I'll be this year's Zell Miller!

In a move that surprises absolutely no one, Democrat Republican Independent Bassett Hound McCain Lapdog Joe Lieberman tells "The Hill" that he's leaving open the possibility of giving the keynote address, likely on primetime television, at this year's Republican National Convention.

“If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will,” Lieberman said in a brief interview.

A Lieberman aide said even though there are no plans for the Independent togive a speech at the convention, it is a “likely possibility” he will address the Republican audience in some form.

I wonder if he'll challenge Tweety to a duel afterwards? Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman discuss the political metamorphosis of Holy Joe.

The only reasons Lieberman is toadying up to repubs is because he wants to bomb Iran.

I love how Fineman says Lieberman is bitter, acknowledging how absurd the "bitter-gate" flap is while throughout the whole piece underscoring the fact that Lieberman is responsible for his own fate in the Democratic party--no body threw him under a bus. No one but Joe is to blame for his predicament.

It's not that people hate Israel. They don't like the sociopath jerks they elect to office. Just like people don't hate the U.S.A. They hate Bush and his motley wrecking crew of misfits and corporate pirates.

It's always a small clique of "elite" jerks who ruin what would otherwise be a perfectly happy life for the people of this world.

Someone tell Zell Lieberman it is not "If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly", it is 'whom I support'. Tell him to learn proper English before he wants to go Yiddish.

sorry for posting here but i couldn't find an open thread without 250 entries already there.

OPEN NOTE TO RIGHT WING POSTERS: If Mccain does happen to win as the most recent poll would suggest since he has now pulled even with Obama after being 13 points down as recently as a few months ago, then you have earned 4 more years of McSame. Never forget his little ditty, "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran." Do you think he was joking or that he misspoke when he indicated another hundred years of Iraq occupation and war. that was no joke nor was it a misstatement. if he wins, you deserve him and a continuation of the bush policies. and don't be mistaken, it won't be the poor or minorities fighting over there, it will be you and your children and your grandchildren. Oh yes, lest you forget, ante up some of your tax benefits to pay off the national debt which now numbers in the trillions. congratulations, this is truly YOUR COUNTRY.

I think this thing started with Lieberman back in 2004. He got mad when the democrats resoundingly defeated his bid for the nomination. Al Gore refused to endorse him and endorsed Howard Dean instead. Then in his senate bid he was defeated in the primary. Democrats did not elect Lieberman in Conn., Republicans did. He knows where his loyalties lie these days.

damn, i always seem to forget something that comes to mind the second i hit the post button. again to the right wingers out there, can you enlighten the rest of us as to the purpose of this "war' or occupation or annihilation or whatever you choose to call it. And tell me once again, what constitutes victory, since you're all so concerned about winning (sounds like a pride thing to me). Are we there because they perpetrated 911, no. are we there to dispose of sadam and his sons, they're gone and believe it or not many of the iraqui people say it was better under their regime as opposed to the american occupation, or is the goal to give them democracy as bush would have us believe. well ask the people once again, would they choose "democracy" or a riddance of the occupation tomorrow? Without having ever been there and talked with them, i still can surmise what their answer would be. or are we fighting them there so that we won't have to deal with them here. pretty weak argument. they have never been stronger than they are right now. what caused their growth. you red state man and your support of a dictator's policies (and i'm not talking sadam) had a hand in all of this.

So Senator Lieberman’s bitterness bowled him over to dissing the Democratic Party and embracing the Republicans? He politics on being independent and going where his conscious leads, seams like he goes where his self-interest best provides for him. This guy should write politics all about me 101. I would like to see a Democratic majority in the Senate that does not need this profiteer and he is dropped like a hot potato. I read the pro Israel stuff on him too and that does not sit well. Is he reaping funds from pro I Israel sources. Has he ever been taken to task for this? To think this guy could have been President Gore’s and our Vice President! What an opportunist!

They are called Zionists. They don't want peace. Why would they? They would have to give up their desire to annex the west bank and Gaza. They would lose much (if not all) of the US tax dollars handed over to them. Their economy would collapse without the US tax dollars proping it up.

Towards the end Olberman almost had the balls to explain the reasons for Lieberman's behavior since 9/11. Of course it's not fear Keith, it's his hawkish view on Israel. But bringing this up risks being called an anti-semite. Howard Fineman could have done it because he's Jewish, but he also chickened out and gave the "he's bitter about 2006" reasoning.

Joe is one lost boy.

He holds no self respect as he was once a Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate.

It is sad to watch him self destruct............................

So then you DON'T agree with your brother-in-law's view of the war ?

If not, then I apologize.

If so, then what the heck are you talking about ?

He's not saying anything. His mind is on cruise control, simply spewing talking points and not really believing in or knowing anything. But to be fair to him, that makes him just a typical 'Merican.

Actually, it's pretty clear from his words that this person you are trashing was just pointing out the opinion of a relative - one which he obviously disagrees with. Stop attacking someone who is in agreement that the war is horrible. You're too damn trigger-happy and are going off on fellow anti-war person.

I'm a little late getting back to this, but thanks Stupid Git. I totally disagree with the opinion of my brother-in-law, I was just trying to give an example of how the constant media propaganda has deceived a large portion of the U.S. population concerning Iraq.

In what sense is Holy Joe an "independent"? He seems to me to be a right-wing Republican of a particularly odious sort.
