Parody site of Joe Lieberman

Or maybe not. Generally I don't want to pick on Joe. I hope he doesn't make it to the nomination but I don't, like many, think he's the anti-christ. This reinforces why I don't like him.

The joseph2004.org site went up January 27, 2003. The site was written and designed by Nick Jehlen, a political activist and art director of The Progressive magazine. Additional programming was done by Matthew Howard. In a February 3 e-mail, Jehlen wrote:

"The site has only been up for a week, but it's had thousands of visitors so far and we're hoping to keep updating every week. Lieberman isn't necessarily the most obvious target for satire, but I find his moral superiority complex mixed with his questionable ethics on issues like expensing stock options, military spending and the death penalty really hard to swallow, and from the response so far, there's a lot of people out there thinking the same thing."

An interesting feature of this site is its close resemblance to the official Lieberman site. Whereas the Lieberman site proclaims on its opening page, "The American Dream isn't just a story..." the parody site begins, "My American Dream is a fairy tale..." In addition to having some fun (there is an elaborate and slow-loading set of steps on how to fold an origami-style donkey out of a dollar bill) this site does make serious policy criticisms. For example, on the question of expensing stock options there is a link to the PBS Frontline program "Bigger than Enron."

Kinda an interesting link, too... highlights a bunch of independent political websites: http://www.gwu.edu/~action/2004/cands/web0203.html

I think it is very sophomoric. It is also very dishonest.

Lieberman isn't a Republican.

I am not a Lieberman supporter, but that site is dishonest.

by definition they are exagerations and often skewerings.
