I have never forgiven Gore. I wish Clinton would have picked someone else.
(other than Gore) for VP.
But, I've always felt that Bill and Hilary were blue dogs. Gore was a blue dog
and f'n Lieberman was a RW republican.

Lieberman is great on social issues. He would do well in several positions that might be available.

And torture!

A fine upstanding individual he is.

In 2009, Lieberman is opposed to a "public option" and stated he would side with Republicans and filibuster any attempt to pass major health legislation that includes one. Lieberman confirmed on December 13, 2009 he will not vote for the Senate Health care bill in its current form, reportedly informing Majority Leader Harry Reid directly that he would filibuster any attempt to pass health care with a public option or an expansion of Medicare coverage

And he, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, and Max Baucus ensured that neither "single payer" nor a "Public Option" would be in the ACA, and they joined the filibuster by the rethugs.

Yet many DUers blamed Obama for either not being there.

He never called any of them. Never lobbied them. Never lifted a finger to try to sway them in any way. Joe explained he never heard anything from the White House. But when Obama wanted to pass the bill that the Senate was shoving down the House's throat, Obama got on a plane and flew to Dennis Kucinich's district and campaigned for it, openly challenging Dennis in his own district to vote for it.

Ask the guy to join up, his nose still brown from campaigning against you for the election in 2008, destroying a good democrat in Ned Lamont, bringing down the 2008 campaign, and jumping on the Impeachment train for Clinton.

Socially? He's a pariah. One of the extra bits of icing with sprinkles in this election is that he won't be back with his droopy-dog self.

to get credibility with a particular group. All Right Wingers trying to infiltrate the Dem party will use social issues to gain support. It's an old trick. They don't really care about those issues one way or the other. Lieberman's goals are the same goals as the warmongering Neo Cons.

He is a threat to world peace along with all his Right Wing Buddies around the globe.

He also betrayed the party he belonged to. No one likes a traitor. No one trusts a traitor.

Serious question. I had no idea who he was prior to Gore's nomination, but I understood he was to counterbalance Gore's "most liberal senator" reputation. Since then, everything I have read indicates that he identified with the wrong party. Until he didn't.

You're stand up routine is great! Let me know the next time you perform, I want to catch your show!

that is what's in Lieberman's future.

don't let the door hit cha!

. . . as they say in sports. I'm pretty sure that the administration doesn't need Liebertool's opinion on anything, thanks very much.

but i for one won't miss him.

(and best friend mccain) might find a place for him...

...and started wooing "Aunt Fancy" Lindsey Graham. Breaking up is hard to do. Go away Joe, you NEVER came through when it really mattered.

keep him out forever. Now if there is ever a GOP administration in the future they will probably call him. He is a turncoat that the very worst kind.

Who did Lieberman support in the election of 2008?

Like Stan Lee says, 'nuff said.

I really do at least want to get a phone call from the Administration so I can still feel relevant.

TlalocW

"I know I stabbed you in the back, but could I please have a job?"

Making nonsense noises in that same voice. Just Stewart's doing that - and I have no way to know what to type so I hope you've seen it - tells you exactly what Lieberman's about.

TlalocW

it is no secret that you are a RW chickenhawk who has time and again demonstrated greater allegiance to a country other than the US and attempted to hijack our military to their ends.

Don't wait by that phone, Joe. And don't hold your breath either.

I cannot begin to imagine wtf makes any of them think for one second that traitor Joe Lieberman would be wanted in this administration.

since that's obviously where his loyalties lie..

That's the only job Loserman is qualified for.

Liarman would do best by all of us if he would just go home put his jammies on and do crossword puzzles. And most importantly SHUT THE HELL UP.

Adios, Jo-Mo!

No mail, no phone calls, no work, just sit around the house and enjoy yourself, Joe dear. You've earned your peace and quiet.

In other words, please, please, please, please just go away and leave us alone. Thanks.

abandon the President.

Fuck Joe Lieberman.

Pres. Obama should call him up and say, "Hey, Joe...I just wanted to offer you a post retirement position, as the clown at Sasha's next bday party."

Or Mars.

I hope no one is stupid enough to ask you to do a thing anywhere in government. Traitorous POS.

Droopy Dog's career has been shit going back to that awful campaign he ran to unseat Senator Lowell Weicker. I had never heard of opossum-face until Al Gore picked him to be a running mate. Apparently, Joe had made himself a name in the "Lewinsky story".

Just wait--you know it'll happen sooner or later. If they can keep someone who's as wrong as often as Bill Kristol, why not hire Lieberman?

Granted...I don't stay glued to the news or anything like that, but I was not aware that Lieberman had been offered any job in the administration.

Making a lot of noise about turning down a job that you haven't been and won't be offered. Sounds like bullshit to me...the bullshit of someone desperate for a last little bit of face time for the cameras. It's not as though Lieberman will be one of America's elder statesmen, respected party voices, or people whose opinion is sought.

The word, "asshole" has only been used once in responses to this thread.

voted for George W. Bush and McCain. He is an implant and mostly cares about Israel over U.S. Interests. Look at who asked the question too. It was FOX. I'm pretty sure they do want him in the Administration so he can report back to them.

Heck, Foxnews might already show with his name on it and just waiting for that day to come.

Please, do sit there and hold your breath waiting for that job offer. You can wait for it just like all the people are waiting for universal health care or even a public option.

In fact, you old nasty sack of walking fertilizer, I hope your wait is every bit as comfortable as the wait people have when they are sick and have no insurance and have to go to the ER or when they sit at home untreated and wait to get better. Maybe you'll even die while waiting just like some of them do...

You have no soul, Joe, and I hope you have your condo in hell reserved overlooking the lake of eternal fire.

smarmy rat bastard needs to STFU and go away

with one of the insurance companies he worked so hard to protect.

Good Lord, why would Obama want one of the three F*ckupateers in his administration?

I kept waiting and waiting for that endorsement, and unless I missed something, it never came.

Ambassador so he has to live in one of those places. NK is a hell hole even though they would treat him like a king. Tehran is a nice place, but he is truly hated there.

The toilets in the east side of the White House don't clean themselves you know. So, Joe, grab a bucket and get to it!

He'd be great in that role!

that would fuck with his head

be productive.

I have no plans to take over as the CEO of Intel, either...

and the administration, either fuck you, Joe

lol. Good riddance.

in the ass on the way out!

I'm sure that O will pick Richard Lugar for a post before you, Droopy.

He's never done a damn thing for President Obama and was ready to run against him. Fuck this guy with a broken rusty pipe.

Now you can officially register as a lobbyist for your real client.
