Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) offered a rare defense of Barack Obama on Sunday — and an even rarer rebuke of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — after the Arizona Republican accused the president of “leading an extreme left-wing crusade to bankrupt America.”
In what was a reversal of the role he played during the presidential campaign — when he stumped on McCain’s behalf and spoke at the Republican convention — Lieberman said he disagreed with the anti-Obama radio ads McCain is running in his home state.
“You know every now and then John McCain and I disagree sometimes, and that’s one of the cases,” Lieberman said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “So I don’t agree with that. I think the president understands the importance of bringing our government back into balance. Look he came in, in a most difficult economic time, inheriting a national debt that had doubled in the preceding eight years. I think you are going to hear from the president in the State of a Union, maybe earlier, about some tough medicine for our economy. We need it and I hope that there will be bipartisan support in Congress for doing that.”
I love it when Republicans New England douche-bags throw boomerangs into American politics. Especially when they’re cashing in on future 2012 presidential campaigns. Kudos to Lieberman for playing an Ace that he has zero-ownership.
Pretending to befriend Obama is nothing short of a sock-puppet of stupidity. But we already knew that, of course.

In fact, this graphic appeared on the cover of the Minneapolis/St. Paul City Pages way back on June 22, 2005, illustrating their cover story, “Gagging Dr. Dean.” It seems the good doctor, just a few months into his tenure as Chairman of the Democratic Party, started freaking out just about everyone whose bed was feathered inside the Beltway for making what were seen as disturbingly freewheeling statements primarily about the (“white, Christian”) GOP but also pulling in the “political donor class.”
Aside from his tongue shaped like a scorpion’s tongue, this animation has appeal based on the irony of the obvious: We no longer care what mass-media is screaming at us – whether (politically) Right or (politically) Left.
The noise has deafened the pedestrian American into a strange submission of obedience.
This is an awesome video – Papa Bear tells it like it is:
At some point in time, the Religious Fanatics are going to have to come to grips with some basic facts: Disease and Plagues are not caused by the Almighty God’s anger that’s been aimed at sin and debauchery, Witches will not float, whether they’re a witch or if they have a stone wrapped around their neck and Homosexuality will not go away, even if Hitler wished them away.
