If it were not for that Palm Beach butterfly ballot, we’d all be talking about how critical it is that this man beat John McCain in the presidential race right now.
Friday, Lieberman said he will attend the Republican National Convention this summer, “if Senator McCain thinks it will be helpful to be there in some capacity.”
Lieberman is co-chairman of McCain’s campaign in Connecticut with U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Bridgeport.
“I am not going to attend the Democratic Convention for obvious reasons,” Lieberman said.
Al Gore was such a dunce.
Off topic, but hey – I’m half Irish, so forgive me….
So Liberman is the Zell Miller of 2008
yep, sans peashooters.
I’ve got a spitwad for LIEberman if ever he should make his way into the Bluegrass state…
Connecticut for Lieberman + the Republican Party! They’re gonna unify the country, man! It’s all too moving to contemplate…
I still think Bill “Can’t keep his pants zipped” Clinton bears at least some of the blame for Al Gore’s choice of Lieberman as a running mate.
Al has to take all of the responsibility for all of his own choices, but Big Pimpin’ Bill Clinton was certainly the 800 lb. gorilla driving Gore’s VP decision. Me, just to be ornery, I would have chosen Barney Frank and told the Right to sit and spin – and make the campaign about honesty and integrity, and attacked Bush on those points.
Then too, you’ll never see my name on a ballot and it’s 8 years after-the-fact, so the view’s pretty good here over on the sideline – I didn’t have too much negative to say about Lieberman at the time since I didn’t really know much about him.
Props to those who knew better then. At least I know better now.
Gore was afraid of being tarnished by Clinton’s philandering – that’s why he about gave Tipper a tonsillectomy of a kiss on stage that one time in 2000. Fear makes people stupid – especially political candidates – that’s why it’s such an effective political tool…
don’t forget Gore invented the internet..he should have stood-up in the Senate to block authorizing the vote count.
Couldn’t Al just be horny. About that kiss. He and Tipper were listening to Mothers of Invention and solo Zappa just before they went on.
On November 5, few days and seven months to go, we’ll show Joe Lieberloser the door. Let him sit with McSame’s minority party.
He won’t be going to the Democratic convention for an obvious reason. If he sets foot in the hall people will kick his ass.
anyone who supported that guy since “the kiss” is a dunce.
what an asshole lieberman is. i used to work at a healthfood store with his goddaughter. she must be so embarrassed by him…
to be his running mate he would have siphoned off votes from Nader, and likely have won. It’s 8 years of hindsight and a blogosphere education. By picking someone to his right he signaled that the thing wrong with him was that he wasn’t Republican enough. So why vote for the phoney when you can vote for a real Authoritarian.
That was the first Democratic campaign that wasn’t happy volunteering for. I couldn’t get excited about that, though I did browbeat anyone I knew for wanting to vote for Nader.
The morning Gore announced Lieberman as his running mate. My soon-to-be husband was sitting on the bed as I brushed my teeth. We had the TV on so that we could hear who the running mate would be. I thought it would be someone like Bradley or a stellar, but jr. Representative. When they showed Lieberman on the TV, my soon-to-be husband said, “What? Does he want to lose?”
I was just learning about Joe and wasn’t too happy about it. My husband, who doesn’t follow politics, knew a lot more about Lieberman. Funniest thing, the talk at all the tables and slot machines was how the US wasn’t going to elect an Orthodox Jew for VP.
As for me…it seems that a lot of big political events seem to happen when we visit Vegas.
