Joe Lieberman was squiring yesterday on CNN when Wolf Blitzer called him out on his support for the types of judges his good pal and the man that he's supporting to be president, John McCain would choose. That's a very big issue with all of us and Lieberman knows it all too well since he voted against Alito in the first place. A judge that McCain loves by the way. Blitzer played the video of his negative opinion on the newest conservative activist judge which caused Joe to weave around the issue. He says he'd have to wait and see who McCain nominates. What a joke. McCain has promised more Alito's so is he saying that McCain will screw his conservative base? I think not. (transcript via CNN)
LIEBERMAN: I am left with profound concerns that Judge Alito would diminish the Supreme Court's role as the ultimate guarantor of individual liberty in our country.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BLITZER: All right. So looking ahead, as you know, the next president could name two, maybe three Supreme Court justices, could have an impact for 30 years, maybe longer.
Are you confident in the justices that Senator McCain would nominate? Or would you be more confident in the kinds of judges that Senator Obama might nominate?
LIEBERMAN: Well, I guess I'd have to wait and see who they nominated. But...
BLITZER: Because this is a big issue for a lot of voters out there.
LIEBERMAN: Look, it's a big issue for me. I'm a lawyer. I'm a former attorney general. Let me tell you what I think about Senator McCain.
The two Supreme Court justices that were nominated after that bipartisan agreement were Roberts and Alito. I voted for Roberts. I thought that he was extraordinarily able and would be a man of independent judgmen
Holy Joe just loves Roberts. Wonderful, then he must love Alito too. He's a total sell out to the Republican party. Lieberman should just start protesting with James Dobson against stem cell research. Unfortunately---Wolf didn't ask the correct follow up question after Joe tried to get "his bearings" on the question because McCain just gave a big "Wingnut judge" speech to try and attract the angry right wing conservative activist base.
McCain reminded the group that he had supported the nomination even of very conservative judges such as Pryor and Janice Rogers Brown. He lavished praise on Chief Justice John Roberts and Alito who, he said, “were serving with such distinction on our Supreme Court.”
Blitzer only had to ask Lieberman to comment on John's recent pitch and say that McCain was promising to nominate another Alito so there is no "let's wait and see." He promised to put another extremist on the bench, right Joe? What could he have said to that?

McCain-Lieberman '08
Old Hands at Losing
Yes We McCain't
Lieberman: I've lost more than my bearings!
Lieberman: I was good enough for Gore
Well, you can tell I'm not a slogan writer!....
Im glad to see being a pro-war dithering asshole isnt just exclusive to the republican party.
nothing more needs be said: this elmer fudd lookalike is a sleezebag. How does he live with himself.
Vote the Bums Out!
McCain -- "Joe - bend over."
Lieberman -- "How far my Liege? Can I be vice-president my Liege?"

TERMINATE WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE
He lavished praise on Chief Justice John Roberts and Alito who, he said, “were serving with such distinction on our Supreme Court.”
Get ready for the Code-speak Olympics, because McCain is going to have to lay it on THICK
to communicate with the wingnut base of his party while also moving to the center for
the rest of the country, that is sick with the way conservatives have run this country.
"Our" Supreme court?
LIEberman said McCain's most qualified in matters of security. That's gotta be the most outrageous statement of the bunch. McCain doesn't have a clue how Shrub has made the U.S. less secure by invading and occupying a Middle East country, e.g.
As a rabid Hillary supporter, one thing I will think about when voting in November should BO win the Dem nomination is how a McCain victory would likely spell the end of Lieberman in the Senate.
No doubt Lieberman will be the first to hop on the Metrorail train to a McCain White House.

Great, I'm sure all the innocent people who will suffer immensely due directly to the policies of a McCain
administration will be happy to hear of your decision making!
Just like all the Iraqis who have perished in Iraq over the last five years at least didn't have to
see America lead by some phony who thought he invented the internet.
When the Democrats in the Senate no longer need Lieberman after November, he should be ostracized and ejected from any committees he sits on. He is insane.
Bye Bye Chairman Joe.
Anyone else think that Lieberman beat McCain to Alzheimer's?
While the Republicans would like a "Permanent Republican Majority" NOW, I think they'll also prepared to wait 30 years while they stack the governement so neo-con-friendly, it will be a de facto reality.
Mimi Schaeffer @ 13:
=====================
No need to be rabid, now is there? Couldn't you just be a supporter?
As if we needed any more reasons to not vote for McLiebersame.
My money is on Lieberman wanting to be a McCain VP...
Wouldn't that be special? The illusion of bi-partisanship and yet so very conservative?
The media would love it, and the dems probably would have a problem distancing themselves from Lieberman since they haven't already.
Unrelated!
We've reached the turning point. According to Dutch Teletekst Obama now has more superdelegates behind him than Clinton.
If you can read Dutch, here's the link.

I'll take that. Talk about throwing grenades in your own tent. The religious right
would be horrified and probably actively fight against a McCain campaign.
At the very least, they'd stay home.
Mimi Schaeffer @ 13:
and a dem win, and a larger majority in the senate, spells the end of holy joe's political career
he is stripped of all committee memberships and sent into exile
that means...no more money for his state, or pet projects
nada, nothing
he can change his party alliances then...no one will care
ok...he voted for roberts...so why did he vote for alito?
isnt it obvious? he was in the fight of his life to stay in the senate and had to use this ruse to keep the dems in ct thinking he was with them
holy joe is a traitor to his party, to his supporters, to his state and to his country
and when i become king, i will put the hangman's noose around his neck personally
lyleleander @ 14:
it's unbelieveable that so many of you morons are out there. you need to get
the facts right and stop spreading your lies. god how stupid the gop is.
Everyone knows that if you want " hoe joes" support you only need bribe him with something he wants, money, power, drugs, young boys, what ever it might be at the time. Was joe not involved a few years back, as one of the congressman who was bending over his pages? Just picture joe, dressed only in a thong,white soxs and brown shoes, clutching a jug of cheap wine in his arms while winking at you and moving in your direction. He is intent on fucking us before he goes at any cost and no amount of butt kissing or jerking someone off is to great a price.
Pure evil.
How does this SON OF A BITCH remain in office year after year? Honestly, I KNOW FOR A FACT there are better people in my home town who would better stand for Demorcats than this whiney-purse-lipped-silly-liver-eating old man!
the phony war criminal lieberman should just be hung hes just a creepy what ever he is.
Mimi Schaeffer @ 13:
Let me get this straight -- if Sen. Clinton does not win the nomination, you will vote for McCain in order to dilute or distinguish Lie-to-Dems influence in the Senate? That is quite possibly the strangest strategic move I've ever seen proposed.
You know what else would render Lie-to-Dems Senatorial seat moot? Having a larger Democratic majority in the Senate, and a Democratic president.
Good grief!
Restore the Constitution @ 15:
Of course, we do have to remember that Traitor Joe Lie-to-Dems only disagrees with the Democratic Party on the itty bitty issue of mass murder.
Joe Lieberman was squiring yesterday on CNN when Wolf Blitzer called him out . . .
Did you mean "squirming?" If so, that's the best typo I've seen in a long time! Considering the way Traitor Joe Lie-to-Dems acts as McCain's squire everywhere they go.
:)
Oh and Lieberman is going to vouch for McSame's bearings. Who is vouching for Lieberman's?
Karen @ 31:
Yeah, right!!!??? What about habeas, telecom immunity, torture...all those itty bitty issues.
Leslie [Hussein] @ 34:
Oh, those? I didn't realize the Democrats were monolithic in their positions on those unimportant little things.
;)
LIEberman simply wants to become the VP of the United States of Israel.
LOOOOSERMAN.....
Joe is a Zionist. Pro-Israel and pro-war. All of Joe's other "priciples" will take a back seat to this truth. McSame promises more wars that we have to pay for with our tax dollars and that our soldiers have to pay for with their lives.
Bush wants war for oil, Joe wants war for Israel. Same goal, different reasons. McSame delivers.
Freakin' Lieberman is at it again! His ass should have been tossed out of the Senate long ago. I have never seen such a self serving SOB as that bastard! The Jews should be real proud of that back biting idiot. The only thing he gives a damn about is Israel so I say "get the hell out of here and go to Israel you freakin' jerk"
Never really answered the question did he! Why does this guy get air time when his ONLY agenda is ISRAEL. NOT AMERICA!
Democrats must make the Supreme Court a big issue. I worry it's too confusing for some people - but it's so damn important. Two McCain appointees could ruin this country for 30 years.
What scares me is that he was actually Al Gore's running mate. As bad as Dubya's theft of the 2000 election was, does anyone really think we would have gotten anything better under a Gore/Lieberman government? I'm a Democrat and I'm not so sure.
I hope Obama gets in and turns out to be an honorable man. We need someone who isn't beholden to the immoral rich thugs who run our country. But with all the dubious characters surrounding our politicians, you never know.
I wonder if Joe Lieberman knows that he's probably sparked more "anti-semitism" in America than any other person. But remember, folks, they want "anti-semitism." That's why they create it.
So, if you really want to make a Jew mad, don't be antisemitic.
ditto ditto ditto
dadams @ 3:
God, I hope so. After the dems pick-up 6-10 Senate seats in November, we can finally jettison this douche bag once and for all!
Enjoy your new (30%) permanent minority party asshole!
You, Billary, and the rest of the DLC deadenders can hang out with poppy Bush down in Tex-ass, savoring the final glorious days of the corporate aristocracy.
Mimi Schaeffer @ 14:
Thanks for nothin' Mimi.
And for your information, BO HAS already won the nomination! For some reason, you Hillary wingnuts just need more time to realize when the clock says 0:00, the game is over! Someone needs to sit spoiled brat Hillary down, and explain to her that things don't always work out the way we want them to, and that no screaming or tantrum is going to change that.
Get it straight.,,,,,Heeberman wants to be VP and he'd sell his first born to get there.
He's the JUDAS of the Washington Poliyical Areana.
majicman @ 47:
Sorry boys & girls...meant to spell "Political".
Scy @ 17:
It's certainly looks like it, every day that goes by.
2fargone @ 1:
Thanks for the link- Countdown and other shows on MSNBC have been on McCain's ass on this for a while now. If ABC news would just tag in...
That's another reason why I won't vote for any ticket that has HRC on it...I find it impossible to believe that she would appoint judges that would be any different than what Lieberquisling would appoint if he were the president. Which is no different than what McCain would appoint. She's a Republican and a neocon in my eyes.
Joe LIE-berman ( I-Israel) will be voted into rightful obscurity in November...
Someone needs to redo "The Kiss" with CT kissing good ole Joe.
Thanks a bunch, Connecticutt. Heckuva job!
Does squiring mean asking people, "know what I mean, squire??"
