Senator Joseph "That Idiot" Lieberman is pimping his book, “The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath," up at the Yeshiva University's Lamport Auditorium (Amsterdam Ave. at 187th St.) at 6:30 tonight. I'm trying to think of anyone more terrible than him, and I'm failing. Anyway, just thought you should know. By which I mean, in case you want to go (peacefully) shout at him.

No matter how exciting the idea might be (although, really, doesn't anything Michael Moore fulminates against make you sort of, for a minute, root for it?), Connecticut voters cannot recall their miserable prick of a senator, Joe Lieberman. The best we can do is hope for some hysterical sex scandal that drives him from office.

When miserable prick Joe Lieberman came out against the public option he was just trying to be an asshole on his own, but happily for him, he also provided cover for a bunch of other Senators to be assholes as well. It's win-win for Joe!

During the 2008 presidential campaign, there were rumors was that John McCain didn't really want Sarah Palin as his running mate. He chose her because he needed "to excite the right," because he needed "to win the Hillary vote," because he was "a maverick" in search of "a game-changer." But the rumor was: If he had his way, McCain never would have picked Palin. The rumor was: McCain really wanted Joe Lieberman.

"Bottom line, I think Sarah Palin for a lot of people has become a spokesperson. People worried that government has forgotten them, has grown too big, that the deficit is growing too large, and in some sense that we're not being as strong as we should be in the world-Governor Palin has spoken to those concerns as much as anyone…. I don't know what her future is. I'm just saying everybody should listen." -Connecticut Senator/miserable prick Joe Lieberman does what he does best, thanking God-with whom he is very close-that Republicans have momentum going into November's election and suggesting that we all lend an ear (and, perhaps, a [...]
