'AP' article says Lieberman a 2000 VP "prick"
By John Amato Monday Aug 18, 2008 5:45pm 
OK, so it's probably a typo, but it's so nice to see this in print going over the AP wire:
His top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000 who now is an independent.

ROFLMAO
I take back everything I ever said about media bias. The truth will out.
Can you say Freudian slip?
I think that sums it up pretty well.
I thought about that story earlier but this one is more interesting I think. Rachel Maddow will get her own show on MSNBC on Sept. 8.

I am shocked! How dare they insult pricks that way!
And people say that Joe has changed in the past eight years.
I hope McCain is "smart" enough to pick Joe. It would make the Repugs look desperate, if the best they can pick are the two fossils who lost in 2000.
News so nice, ya gotta print twice!
It's all part of the "Script~Plan"
He's a prick alright...

Right they we're desperate and we got Reagan.
It's the American people who are desperate and elect these these liars.
I heard on the Thom Hartmann show that some Democratic primary votes were thrown to favor Clinton by attorneys of Karl Rove through the Chambers of Commerce, both US and state. check out this link:

L.A. Confidential @ 12:
Except in Bush 2's case. Not enough opposed the method in which he was installed.
If Lieberman is McSame's then their campain sticker should be

Hey, hey! The AP finally got something right!
Once a prick, always a prick.
Have we thanked Connecticut lately?
It's out there!
Nice John!
Now as Political Analyst know as much as I do here's my picks for the VP slot.
Obama will pick Hillary as she brings with her 18 million votes and the other candidates don't. If Obama doesn't pick Hillary he is taking a big risk.
McCain isn't picking his VP the GOP is picking that spot. Now they know McCain will lose but the GOP will pick Rep. Eric Cantor as the VP so he can get the exposure for the future. Yes Eric is rich, educated and Jewish. He brings with him the big money people that want to continue to feed of the regular taxpayers. McCain isn't looking that good these days anyway. All the other candidates bring baggage with them but the Republican Party has to rebuild since Bush/Cheney have given them such a bad name.
History has shown that when the US is in big debt a Democrat is picked to build back the Economy then a Republican is elected to steal it again.
If the shoe fits...
Digz @ 6:
yeah, but Lieberman is a prick among pricks.
L.A. Confidential: Reagan had youthful vigor for his age. He personified that really awesome grandparent you enjoy having over when you were a kid. John and Joe come off like that old guy who confiscates frisbees you throw over his fence, in comparison.
Jacki: Hillary won't be the VP, because she'll create the same kind of divisions she had with Gore.
Ummmm.... Did anyone here notice the that Nedra PICKler wrote this? Think she ever spells her name PRICKler????

Photo-manip project in there somewhere. My dad would put on a freaky long grey wig, strum his guitar, drink beer and start hitting wadded-up newspaper balls into the neighbors yard until they complained, and we'd go clean up our old balls at the same time.
p and r are not near each other on a qwerty keyboard, so it can't be accident.
Can people have freudian slips when the write?
[Deleted. You're right, BaScOmBe, it is OT. I did pass it on to our writers, though. Why don't you post it on an Open Thread? :D Thanks. Site Monitor]
A typo or a little truth in advertising.... heh heh.... You decide.....JD
Hmmm, no. Not a "typo", exactly. I'd say more like:
"Oh man, I have a better one! Remember that summer I was an intern at the AP? Well, it was a week or two before we all went back to school, and..."
Methinks some lefty copyeditor was at work there. Good going! LOL
Truer words have never been written.
adambnyc @ 26:
How about maybe- just maybe- it was written in English, translated into Japanese, then translated back into English. Hilarity ensues!
Ahh comeon folks... Give an editor a little luv.... The dog probably ate the spell checker hahahah....JD
Schmuck, that would have been better, but ill take this.
Wonder if DICK the current vice prez has penis envy?
Since he is Jewish I assume that he his circumcised as a vice prez canidate, you know, the non hooded one.
jebus.loves.me @ 15:
Love it!!!! Thanks for the laughs...
I want to buy Nedra, a well deserved drink.
adambnyc @ 26:
Maybe the article was typed using a Dvorak Keyboard, the c and r are right next to each other.
Best typo ever!
Priceless ! That just made my day.
Of course, they couldn't print it if it wasn't true...
The AP stands by it's reporting and has three independent sources to back up their claim.
yeah i would say most likely its just a typo, but as best i can tell, "r" is nowhere near "i" on MY keyboard, so unless theirs has "r" next to "i", i would say that it couldve been intentional. i guess we'll never know. or will we?
the champ is out.
No, no, Holy Joe was PICKED. Just like a booger.
Best laugh I had today...
Now the AP is confirming what we all have been saying for the past few years -- I love not being wrong!
That's no typo. It's the absolute truth.
Enough said, Dr. Freud.
Freudian typo.
Freudian slip.
well, it could be true.

liebermann would be the bress prick for vice principal.
Tequila @ 8:
I would be in a near hysterical laughing fit if McSame picked LIEberman. Not to mention the absolute civil war it would unleash inside the RNC. LOL. Yeah, I could love watching that reality TV show ! And it would pretty funny to watch him lose a second time in the same category !
Now that's what I call a Freudian typo if there ever was one! Hoooooo Agggghhhh!
21 hours and it's still on there... I'm thinking it wasn't a typo.
Murkins still think Joe is librul.
After all, he was the running mate with that super liberal, tree hugging, internet claiming Al Gore. To the murkins, Joe would make Mccain look balanced. And to boot he's one of those poor oppressed jews whose innocent children the towelheads are always trying to blow up.
Murkins would support McCain/Lieberman in '08.
Shit! I see that Ruthless People beat me to the punch! Damn thee Ruthless ones! Damn thee!
j swift @ 1:
Wha???
I think it means Lieberman has been a prick since 2000, ever since it went to his head that he wanted to be worshipped.
forgot the /snark
Tequila @ 23:
Not to mention, Michelle hates her.
Tequila @ 23:
Plus Michelle Obama is not down for Hillary. End of story. Michelle and Barack are as much a team as Bill and Hillary were/are.
The funny thing is that that was the corrected version on the AP wire - before that it read:
j swift @ 1:
Yeah, I think describing Joe Lieberman as a "prick" is accurate and no statement about a typo should be issued.
Let's pray The Prick gets castrated when he's cut off from the inaugural balls.
call him as you see them/him..........he is a prick.
Follow the bouncing balls boys and girls:
"All in all you're just another prick in the Wall..."
It's worse than Lieberman just being a prick.
He's a liar and an idiot as well:

They forget to add "the Democratic vice presidential LOSER prick."
Well, the "prick" typo goes well with the fact that the Leeb is an Olympic-class dickhead.
:D I honestly don't think it was a typographical error. It was a typographical Freudian slip.
Ah, yes. Summer's end. Time for the interns to return to college?
Whoever -- thanks!
Is it just me. I don't see a typo.
No, the typo was omitting that Lieberman is a traitorous, lying "PRICK"
Well, my absence hasn't been in vain, since upon my return I see an AP article that actually got it right for a change.
Encore!
ysbad @ 67 and 69, you are hot tonight with the quips! Good stuff.
OMG I can't stop laughing
Olbermann said tonight this was the best typo of the decade. I disagree--it's the best typo ever. That or the person responsible should get a medal.
Just what we need, successive VPs Dick and Prick. Here's the latter with Bugs Bunny: http://faultgame.com/images/screwy.wav
The AP should get a Pulitzer for that typo.
Thanks for the best laugh I've had in a while!
Howard "Word Association" Beale @ 65:
And this one got me started laughing all over again!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Joe LIARman
I'll believe it when I see it.
I can see their rational. McCain is trying to get the middle. There is that illusion that Lieberman will get him the votes there.
Their playing for the middle. They need the middle. Both of them do.
Same old same old. It's very predictable. Will it do McCain any good? doubt it.
wow but the R is no where near the P or the I.
What typo?
Oh please, baby Jesus, let this have been a deliberate act. Do it again!
Which explains why he is out campaigning for the Grand Old (very old) Prick candidate.
I new Lieberschnitzel in 2004 too - when he was running for prez. (Thanks be to god that he lost)
He was a PRICK then too.
Very funny and very true.
Beavis and Butthead always got exited about this kind of stuff!!!
"If you prick me, do I not Lieb?"
Who were the Dems supporting this guy BEFORE he lost the primary?
Typo? What typo? Hahaha!
What can you say? The truth will out and you have to call them as you see them.
Eventually, truth will always out, what?
Yes there is a typo. It says Democratic :-)
JohnnyBravo @ 99:
End-game. That says all that needs to be said.
Typo? I don't see it...
That prick is the biggest mistake Al Gore ever made.
(And also the biggest mistake Lieberman's mother ever made).
Tequila @ 22:
... and then they go to the police department and try to convince them that those frisbees are evidence of intent to develop weapons of mass destruction.
BWAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha, best typo I've seen so far.
