Likely secret dungeon owner Joe Lieberman will do absolutely anything to fuck something up for someone else. Like some creepy jowly robot who runs purely off spite, he has been running around DC demanding that it’s important that Obama’s climate change bill include a NUCLEAR OPTION. If Obama wants everyone to drive cars that are powered by pouring wine on some copies of Sunday Styles and then lighting them on fire, he is going to need to make this up to the Republicans by giving them enough money to buy some seriously cool shit for nuclear and coal power plants. This is because many people who like the bill actually hate polluting the planet! This is what the demons call Fair, in Hell.

Obviously John McCain and Lindsay “John McCain” Graham are helping him, as this must be one of those weeks when they are friends. Anyway, House Republicans (to their credit??) are pretty open about the fact that they will not be voting for any climate change anything, but sure Joe Lieberman, you go ahead and put whatever on there. And Democrats who like the climate change bill allegedly do so because of its ability to change the climate. They say they would be alienated by Lieberman and his nuclear option. As recently at 2005, Lieberman tried to pull basically this exact same move, and it failed. Still! It never hurt to try. Except in this one instance: here it actually does hurt to try.

Paint Lieberman, McCain, and Graham with shiny, reflective coating and put them in orbit around the earth to deflect the sun’s rays. Voila! Bipartisan solutions.

ManchuCandidate September 21, 2009 at 10:03 am

Maybe I’ll put it in terms you understand Joe. Adding in more coal plant funding to environmental bills is like:
a) Adding more bacon to the matzo ball soup
b) Buying Lindsey Graham lapdances from female strippers

Ahh don’t worry poverty will reduce America’s energy use. I for one only go the the crappy $5 matinee that I can walk to. BTW, how many carbon credits do you think Iraqistan is using up?

hobospacejunkie September 21, 2009 at 10:04 am

So what jappens 75 years from now when countries are at war over dwindling resources and the most gigantic hurricane/tornado combo ever sweeps across the midwest wiping Kansas, Iowa and Missouri off the map? Do the heirs of Lieberman & friends hold their hands up & say “Uh, our bad. Sorry.” Or do they deny ’til they’re swept up by a three-state wide funnel cloud and deposited in Lake Superior? For once it would be nice if these smug cunts were to personally pay for their follies.

Yaybuls September 21, 2009 at 10:07 am

I heard the nuclear option was gaining Joementum in the Senate.

hobospacejunkie September 21, 2009 at 10:07 am

[re=415112]hobospacejunkie[/re]: If “they” (the Van Patten family) invent a humvee that runs on sand our boys can stay in Iraqistan for ever. The future belongs to silica.

Vulpes82 September 21, 2009 at 10:11 am

From what I’ve read, actually nuclear technology has come a long way since Three Mile Island (which I live near, BTW; might explain the third arm) and could/should be part of a more general energy reform package. The problem, of course, is that they take an assload of money to build, requiring massive amounts of public subsidy, which is fine if you’re a commie like Obama but not a Reasonable, Responsible Centrist like Joe. Plus, you know, even if the fears are largely unfounded/outdated, no one wants a nuclear power plant in their backyard.

Somebody needs to photoshop one of those giant, floppy nightcaps onto that picture of Sleepy Joe.

Anita Cocktail September 21, 2009 at 10:13 am

Joe Lieberman = Douchebag extraordinaire. Can we get to Dame-ington Pegg-itude now?

Kingbee September 21, 2009 at 10:15 am

[re=415112]hobospacejunkie[/re]: If Kansas, Iowa and Missouri get wiped off the map, does that mean that the map on my wall would just get a big hole in it when my house is ruined? Or does it really mean that there would be a big hole in the ground where those states were, that will be filled up with water? ‘Cause I live in Minnesota, and that would be SO COOL! Walleye fishery!

Dreadful Gate September 21, 2009 at 10:17 am

Joe Lieberfuck is a groaning, distended bag of fermented rat feces who should be shot in the groin with a 12 guage and left to bleed to death from his crotch

pubic option September 21, 2009 at 10:22 am

gasp! you disagree with Obama? that’s very racist of you.

Kinkster September 21, 2009 at 10:28 am

On behalf of Connecticut Democrats everywhere, I apologize for this sad sack of shit. His reelection was fueled by the unholy marriage of Republicans and PUMAs.

Mad Brahms September 21, 2009 at 10:29 am

[re=415115]Vulpes82[/re]: This is mostly true. Nuclear plants are no-emissions (except for steam), and might be a great starting point for filling all of those hydrogen fuel cells everyone is crazy about without putting a bunch more carbon into the atmosphere doing so.

On the other hand, meltdowns aside, nuclear waste is a real problem, and I doubt Joementum’s constituents are going to line up to have dump sites underneath their children’s playgrounds. It’ll probably just end up on indian reservations, as usual.

PsycGirl September 21, 2009 at 10:36 am

He had to destroy the bill in order to save it.

jagorev September 21, 2009 at 10:36 am

God help me, but I agree with Joe Lieberman on this one.

*shudder*

The liberal aversion to nuclear power is silly and irrational and stupid and they need to grow the fuck out of it.

V572625694 September 21, 2009 at 10:38 am

[re=415112]hobospacejunkie[/re]: I have read your statement comparing Lieberman, Graham and the others to “cunts,” and find it unfair to cunts, which are, in my opinion, quite likable.

hobospacejunkie September 21, 2009 at 10:46 am

[re=415143]V572625694[/re]: On behalf of cunts everywhere, pleez accept my apology.

[re=415115]Vulpes82[/re]: I don’t see why we can’t pack our spent nuclear fuel rods in rocket ships and fly them to the sun. We could launch one each day forever. Problem solved.

Holy Cow!! September 21, 2009 at 10:51 am

I don’t understand why Obama just doesn’t have him executed.

Guppy06 September 21, 2009 at 11:00 am

For those like myself who are wringing their hands on agreeing with Joe on wanting more nukular, he’s also calling for more spending on coal as well, so we can still hate on him for that.

Terry September 21, 2009 at 11:01 am

[re=415152]Holy Cow!![/re]:

Joe has been avoiding Rock Creek Park at all costs, that’s why he’s surviving.

MissM September 21, 2009 at 11:06 am

[re=415128]Kinkster[/re]: As a CT Democrat, I won’t apologize for Lieberman, because he *isn’t a Democrat*. Let’s not forget that he went Independent in the last election after he lost the primary. As a CT *resident*, I apologize on behalf of my state for not tarring and feathering him by now.

CorkPopper September 21, 2009 at 11:17 am

[re=415140]jagorev[/re]: Yes, and wind farms off the coast too, please. Especially if they are placed where they can be seen from the Hamptons and Cape Cod…except the fucking hypocritical people who live there don’t want their pwecious views marred by something so distasteful as clean renewable energy.

dr.giraud September 21, 2009 at 11:20 am

No one wants nuclear waste. No one. There was a time in the late 1970s when sites in central and western NY were looked at as possible depositories, and you had Republican-controlled towns passing “no nuke waste” restrictions.

Or we could send all the nuclear waste to the moon, except that I watched SPACE: 1999 as a kid and that ended badly.

Katydid September 21, 2009 at 11:22 am

[re=415169]MissM[/re]: As a CT resident, I keep sending him letters, which he won’t answer anymore, I guess because I started writing things like, “get your head out of John McCain’s ass,” and such. I take that as a sign his staff has actually started reading the letters from constituents.

I’m wondering if it would be a mistake to steal from Dreadful Gate and write, “Joe Lieberfuck is a groaning, distended bag of fermented rat feces who should be shot in the groin with a 12 guage and left to bleed to death from his crotch” this week. I don’t need a visit from the State Police, but at this point, I doubt even they support him.

GreenHalo September 21, 2009 at 11:26 am

[re=415152]Holy Cow!![/re]: Pretty much the same reason Luke Skywalker never capped Han Solo in the head. Single-payer was “off the table” the day after Barry was sworn in, and yesterday he flexed his buttcheeks and dumped all over “ideologues” who persist in believing in the public option (because they’re furries who beat off to hippie porn), and then made a shitty comment about people not getting a free ride on health care anymore, and just sucking it up and getting used to the idea of double-tithing to health insurance rackets the same way they do to auto insurance rackets. Wake up now, avoid the rush.

[re=415131]Mad Brahms[/re]: Fission is for cavemen. Fusion reactors are clean, run on seawater, leave no glowing blue shit and if everything goes hopelessly wrong, the reaction fails and there’s a temporary blackout, which is easy to fix because dicking with the reactor isn’t crazy-dangerous like that scene where the Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant in that movie.

Too bad every last bit of U.S. basic research on fusion reactors during the Cold War was a thinly disguised program of optimizing thermonuclear weapons, a.k.a. fusion bombs. Too bad, also, that hippies think nuclear power means Chernobyl the way middle-aged Republicans think marijuana is equal to heroin. But that’s the only game in town.

MissM September 21, 2009 at 11:28 am

[re=415186]Katydid[/re]: I would not write that…never underestimate the power of the crazy in this state. After all Glenn Beck is appearing at a Barnes and Noble near me. And by “appearing,” I mean “being expelled from someone’s asshole in a watery stream”

Johnny Zhivago September 21, 2009 at 11:35 am

I’m with Lieberman, fuck the climate change bill!

My mountainside New Jersey property is going to be like the Monterey of the East Coast when the rest of the state floods.

I’m already planning where to put a hot tub overlooking my ocean view.

Bring it on!

Potater September 21, 2009 at 11:37 am

[re=415128]Kinkster[/re]: PUMAs are proof that even old, bitter white WOMEN can be racist too, also! Who’d've thunk?

Cape Clod September 21, 2009 at 11:44 am

[re=415179]CorkPopper[/re]: Actually, polls show that Cape Cod residents are split evenly on the wind farm. I for one am for it, even though the assclowns who want to build it are assclowns.

Eric Cheney September 21, 2009 at 12:09 pm

So, Graham, Lieberman, McCain. I give up. Which one’s the top?

[re=415186]Katydid[/re]: Feel free to crib my deathless prose, but remember, I live in Canuckistan, where the Connecticut State Police can’t get to me.

Oh, by the way, Lieberfuck is also a steaming heap of rancid puss

Hooray For Anything September 21, 2009 at 1:08 pm

I’m beginning to think the sentence “I don’t think we’re going to [pass a bill] without bipartisan support” might be one of the most dreadful sentences in the English language.

Darkness September 21, 2009 at 1:57 pm

Mmmm, 2012. The magical year the Mayans correctly predicted Dopey Dog’s ass will be finally booted from the senate. I’m going to throw a really big party. A damn fine party. You’re all invited. Bring a dish to pass, preferably tref.

Darkness September 21, 2009 at 2:03 pm

[re=415202]Potater[/re]: With the average PUMA I’ve had the misfortune to work with, it’s tough to find the racism since it is subsumed under a slippery, leathery, gel-filled membrane of cultism. Racism I can work with since it only impacts one area of the brain. Cultism’s some scary shit.

Dang, I wish we’d get a communique from one of Droopy Dog’s partisans like that one from the Huckabee defender. Huckabee is the proverbial fish-in-a-barrel and slammin’ him is almost too easy. On the other hand, I hate Joe Lieberman like a canker sore and I never tire of shovelling bile down his greasy throat. The first televised blow-job I had ever seen was the one Lieberman gave Cheney during their VP candidate “debates”, and my loathing for him has grown like a festering pustule ever since.The mere sound of BlowJoe’s voice makes me throw up a little into my mouth and he surely has got to be one of the ugliest humans I have ever laid eyes on. Who is the poor bitch that wakes up to that shrivelled corpse every morning and why does god hate her so much? An upside to the constitutional travesty visited upon us when SCOTUS appointed GWB president? Can you IMAGINE a Vice President Lieberman?!?! Christ, what if something had happened to President Gore?!?! When he dies (soon, please) I want a Ned Lamont face-mask which I will wear while dancing a jig on his grave. Any questions?

Decker September 21, 2009 at 4:39 pm

“It never hurt to try.”

I think the phrase is, “It never hurts to kick Joe Lieberman in the crotch.”

glamourdammerung September 21, 2009 at 6:46 pm

[re=415140]jagorev[/re]: I have issues with nuclear power mainly due to the regulation of said power plants. With the current attitudes of letting the corporations police themselves, there is no way I would live anywhere remotely near one.
