So the Senate faced the cloture vote on the defense authorization bill including a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, but it failed by a vote of 57-40, because majority rule is the hallmark of a democracy. Susan Collins ended up voting with the Democrats, and Joe Manchin voted against it, because he has a [...]
Glad we got that cleared up. [Think Progress]
In the past week or two, we have brought you some exciting, fun stories about how Democrats were probably going to cave on the Bush tax cuts and probably going to cave on repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” But somehow it has finally started to get through to Democrats that, despite what the Republicans do, [...]
Your Wonkette recently suggested that our new Orange Overlord should privatize the Smithsonian, because that’s what Alexander Hamilton kept blogging about, in the Federalist Papers. Well, good things come to those who wait (for the co-chairs of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to release their draft proposal)! Yes, this wise bipartisan commission [...]
If, like confused old ass-clown Richard Cohen at the Washington Post, you’ve never heard of the “WikiLeaks” or the “Internet,” this year’s biggest news story maybe didn’t really hit home. And if there’s a natural constituency of confused old ass-clowns outside the Washington Post‘s op-ed page, it’s the U.S. Capitol. That’s why the House decided [...]
How much will we miss “America’s President,” the sore-loserman Al Gore and his wife Tipper Gore, who are becoming separated today due to the lack of love in their lives? Let’s all gather around the laptop and remember the years of joy and kissing and complaining about Prince records and “lockbox” and whatever else they [...]
Self-centered alien turd Joe Lieberman is so happy that there’s a Connecticut Senate race not involving him right now! Why? Because now he gets to be back in the spotlight over which candidate he’ll endorse: Richard Blumenthal, who’s a pretty good candidate (aside from his Vietnam bullshitting) as well as a member of the same [...]
Fiercely independent Connecticut Senator and five-time Worst Human Of The Year Award winner Joe Lieberman finds it pretty frustrating when swarthy, sinister terrorists are picked up by FBI “courtesy patrols” and whisked off to a day spa for mud wraps and reiki work just because they managed to bamboozle some activist judge into making them [...]
It’s hard to pick out the best neocon quote so far about how we should treat the Farmville Bomber [wrong one; never listening to HuffPo/people linking to major HuffPo page again] an American citizen. Joe Lieberman is suggesting we change the Constitution, maybe, for citizens that are “affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations.” Well, the thought [...]
GREAT NEWS, EVERYONE! “When Sens. John Kerry, Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman release their climate bill on Monday, they expect to have the backing of three of the five major oil companies, Mother Jones has learned.” Sounds like a real tuffy! Check out the rundown of proposals at Mother Jones. (“Agriculture would be entirely exempt [...]
Beloved Connecticut monster Joe Lieberman is relieved. He hasn’t felt comfortable all year with these massive majorities for the party that nominated him for vice president in 2000, the same party with which he caucuses and which grants him numerous chairmanships and senior positions on valuable committees. And that’s why he’s thankful that the Great [...]
Oh crap, problem guy’s making problems again, or at least a Modest Fuss. We’ve read his statement (WHY? WHY?) and can already envision the upcoming compromise that the White House will agree to immediately.
Joe Lieberman turned 80- or 90-something years old today. Hooray. And according to the Twitter, his office held a birthday party under the theme, “I’m self-centered.” Big ol’ floppy titty XXX pictures after the jump!
Liberal warblog celebrity Ned Lamont was last in the news back in 2008, when he sat down for a lengthy interview (“Hey are you Ned Lamont?”) with Wonkette’s Jim Newell aboard a shuttle bus in Denver, can’t remember the occasion. And before that, Lamont was a pin-up for the Daily Kos webzine, and then poor [...]
Ha, oh this clown. But why is he not “following” Meghan McCain, the John McCain of Meghan McCain’s Twitter? [Twitter]
