Lefty Leonardo di Luna’s more lefty sister Louise lamented the loss of Joe Mentum. “Lieberman says he wants a war cabinet for Bush. They must have all the little wars stored away, ready to be pulled out.” Then she laughed. “Oy,” she muttered. Lieberman blows. Look what he says.”
Lieberman, whom the Bush administration has praised repeatedly for his war stance, defended the president. "It's time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge he'll be commander-in-chief for three more years," the senator said. "We undermine the president's credibility at our nation's peril."
There was no immediate response from the White House or congressional leaders."I hope Bush does form that war cabinet," Lefty Louise said."I'd help him get in that cabinet. Yeah, I would. The little putz. Then I'd shut the door on him fast. And throw away the key."
OLIVER WILLIS says: It wasn’t enough that Joe Lieberman has betrayed his party again and again and again, but now he’s decided that speaking out against the war isn’t acceptable.
THE HERETIK NOTES Lieberman might be happier if there were just One True Party, as long as he were near the top of it. Perhaps somethingBushis lodged in Lieberman's throat and the words we are hearing here are the echo of Ari Fleischer: Watch what you say, watch what you do. Which in the case of Lieberman here might be: Watch what you say, watch who you do.QUESTION OF THE DAY Who would the Democrats run against a Republican 2008 ticket of Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller?
LARGER QUESTION How big can the big tent be before the only thing holding it up is hot air from overinflated egos like Liebermans? On the Republican side, when will Coulter issue a fatwa on Republican "moderates?" Having had her fill of libruls and traitors, when will she begin to dine on the Republican youth?
AND THE LARGEST QUESTION What time is Lefty's Lounge Open? Answer: Now. So stop in for a drink and leave a link.
And may I take this oppo to propose marriage to the insouciant Lefty Louise? Or, failing that, a jolly NSA rogering? Please? She can leave the gloves on...

Oh, Jingo Ned, I hope you left the chainsaw in the car. I fear The Heretik went back to Tool Town. Alas.

Oh, there's party going on. I'd like to commemorate this Lieberman moment with a Kamikaze and perhaps beg a hash brownie to help me forget I've lived long enough to see it come to this.
Oy. What's next?

Heretik,
He actually called you a "wingut". I'm not really sure what that it.
Posted by: comandante agi | December 06, 2005 at 08:11 PM
Well, 'Tik
(Can I call you "'Tik?" -- we wouldn't want to intrude...)
Well, now that you are now an Eviul Wingnut, have I got
a pair of slippersa sartorial accouterment for you...

Agi, I mentioned the F word. Just like they did when they said Samuel Alito “supports” spousal notification with regard to abortion, and that he “endorses” strip searching 10 year old girls, they are now saying Alito “endorses” shooting unarmed teenagers. Or he finds the practice “reasonable” in a personal sense. The winguts are already starting to call for a filibuster in the blogosphere.
Slippers are cool. Or warm. Thanks

I haven't left a link in a looooooooong time. We here at Casa Carla have been knee deep in work and mom/kid stuff.
I'm a bit surprised about Hillary and the flag burning thing. I knew she was a pandering hack...but had no idea she'd go that far.
In related news, this conservative had a heaping bowl of stupid for breakfast.
And with the Dems trying to march to the right...maybe I'll have to give up on them after all. (sigh)

>> The Heretik went back to Tool Town.
Why yes he did, didn't he! And while waving that Husqvarna LI-294 self-starting 16-incher around, he masterfully employed the phrase "swing vote," which just makes me crazy... Love that pearl necklace, darlin', it's real fetchin'...
Posted by: NeddieJingo | December 06, 2005 at 08:49 PM
I indeed go back to Tool Town. The swing vote was very hard to remove from the Husqvarna, but it did finally come off. Oy. Jingo, Oy.

If you say the F word then they might hit you with the N word:

I guess I take some things too seriously. Sometimes, is a book just a book?

Listen, why would the guy run away if he wasn't guilty? He would have stayed put if he knew he was about to be shot in the head. Yet he still ran, proving he was willing to die for his cause. Not unlike a TERRORIST!
You see, Samuel Alito reads between the lines. He saw through the legalese of unarmed, fleeing assailant suspected of theft for what he truly was: a theif stealing to fill the coffers of OSAMA BIN LADEN.
9/11 changed everything. And in today's 9/11 changed world 9/11 we need a justic who isn't afraid 9/11 of investigating from the bench 9/11. We need Ali9/11to or the terrorists win. 9/11.
