The right Joe-mentum: Lieberman predicts our next president

Yes, it's only the NY Daily News' gossip column, but I can't resist anything which mentions JOEMENTUM!
:evilgrin:

The right Joe-mentum

Connecticut's Sen. Joseph Lieberman obviously isn't worried about those leftward Democrats who think he's all but converted to the GOP.

Vice President Al Gore's former running mate shrugged off party politics the other night at a Waldorf gala when he introduced Republican Sen. John McCain as "the next President of the United States."

Lest anyone take him too seriously, Lieberman also introduced McCain at the Partnership for Public Service benefit as "the next chief rabbi of Israel." An appreciative McCain hailed his colleague as "the most honest person in the Senate."

But then many here had entertained the thought of McCain as Kerry's VP.

Guess Lierberman must have been one of those rooting for that combo.

Poor Joe. Maybe he's just confused?

whatever you say, blah, blah, blah, blah, i don't hear you joe, blah, blah, blah.

F..k off, Joe.

thanks!

This is no Democrat. He needs to be run out of the Party. Now.

But, first things first... the bris...

If Kerry can ask McCain to be his VP pick, then McCain can offer a Repuke-lite Dem, like Lieberman, the same deal.

Kerry was rolling the dice by extending an unofficial/official offer to McCain because if McCain accepted, it would've all but guaranteed victory in Nov. 2004. Two war heros, they couldn't have Slime Boated 'em both.

They could've tried, but they wouldn't have succeeded. Kerry/McCain would've won, would've creamed Bush, so it was worth the risk.

McCain/Joementum? Anyone here think that Joe would bring anything more than the staff of the New Republic over to vote Reep? Anyone?

:silly:

Hate to pop your bubble, but they could have, and both have been victimized by this neocon strategy and reacted the same way, to their regret.

let's just say the job of sliming would've been far more difficult, and (I think) received far less favorably.

And yes, I know how McCain's been targeted by Rove's black ops in the past.

My policy is simple: I can respect and admire someone, even when I disagree greatly with them. And I certainly don't have to vote for them.

Case in point: John McCain.

While I respect and even admire the man, I am not blind to his weaknesses, and I am also confident in my own political beliefs. I won't be voting for him or working for him. But it's also very easy for me to praise him where he deserves praise ... especially with what we have occupying the White House.

No, you don't have to remind me he did this, that, and the other bad thing. I'm quite aware. But sometimes it seems like there is public blindness out of the the Right eye or the Left eye. Or both. It's good for selling ad time on CNN or Fox, but not much else.

As for "Joementum" ... he's OK when he goes after Bush (which isn't very often now) but otherwise I don't let him occupy more of my attention than he commands. Which is damned little.

--p!

How can he be so popular in Ct. ?

Then what does that make Lieberman if McCain is the most honest?

Please tell me. What is wrong with the Connecticut State Democratic Party???

I already know why Republicans vote for him.

must have pissed * off.
