Fact of the matter is Joe Lieberman is not representing the constituents of his state who by a large majority want the public option.

Beyond all the other crap that Joe has pulled off (the list is long) this really is the bottomline -- he's protecting big insurance and telling the people to go to hell.

Ironically, it's devout Joe that's going to hell in the end. People will literally die because his action...and the blood will be on his hands.

FUCK JOE LIEBERMAN and not in the fun way...more like the devil himself poking the bastard in the ass with a hot iron.

One can only hope.

An ensuing pandemic is ready to kick the U.S.'s butt and the fucking health insurance industry is holding out trying to make a buck.

My god, in no other industrialized country (and many 3rd world countries) is there a middle man industry that makes TRILLIONS in revenues but does nothing while holds people's lives in the balance. It's criminal and amoral.

The current U.S. debate shouldn't be about the public option but how to shut down the health insurance industry.

Enough already -- shut the motherfuckers down already.

Seriously, public official's spouses should be brought under the ethics umbrella or the public official should recuse themselves.

p.s. Joe Lieberman is a perfect example of a dirty politician who hides behind his faith and so-called morals.

PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF JOE LIEBERMAN. Coward and scumbag.

Given Joe Biden's tenure in the Senate (30 yrs+) and now the tie-breaking vote in the Senate (president of), he brings more to the table. He helps tremendously because he is well liked in the senate club and no-one can bully him.

Also, you have to think Joe Biden will and can cover Obama's back in a real way and is still fit and tenacious enough to do so. How'd you like to take a meeting with Joe Biden? He'd eat Rush Limbaugh and Lindsey Graham at the same meeting. He might be pompous but he could still kick your butt.

Hey if you start two un-winnable wars, plow TRILLIONS into the effort AND deregulate markets and look the other way...SHIT WILL HAPPEN. All this came under W's watch. He had 8 years to boff things and he did...like DUH. Of course Bush is to blame.

Holy fucking cow, are these guys retarded? I think they are. How about a real debate and discussion of issues and not this 3rd grade frat boy shit.

My god, is this the current level of discourse presented by the GOP? Kick them in the back and kick them to the curb.

Idiots.

...to kick his sorry ass.

The bi-partisan BS that Lieberman has been playing off is DEAD. Time to clean house and dump Joe Lieberman.

Seriously - shut the fuck up Krauthammer and go back to Canada, eh!

Oh and what kind of name is KRAUTHAMMER. Could anyone have a better fringe right, neo-fascist name? I don't think so.

Seriously - W.T.F. Yesterday it was the downside of porno sex modeling on the general population and today it's pub grooming issues.

STOP IT ALREADY.

Sure a funny article with a different spin is a nice change of pace. This however really wasn't funny although amusing in a semi-retarded way. I mean sure trim down there so it doesn't look like an un-made bed (men and women) but there's other stuff to be worrying about in the world.

The only thing that can save this is if they Salon.com does an expose on an artist who saves the shaved and "Braziled" pubic hair and does an installation piece -- collage, pillows and woven underwear.

Fuck, lets get serious here. IF the GOP could offer up some kind of legislation that addresses the current health care crisis then they'd have a leg to stand on.

However as a party that has offered nothing as a solution -- they should either put up something real or SHUT THE FUCK UP already.

The Party of No deserves to go down. They're only real goal has been to do NOTHING.

If a kid is screaming and kicking literally, the well-mannered parent should excuse themselves or ask the flight attendents for assistance (a toy, coloring book) or another flight.

Sure this is a major hassle for the parents but as someone who has flown cross country a few times (red eyes in some cases) with screaming-crying kids, I have the right (since I paid) not to be subjected to an hours-long audio assault (aka torture) just like the other 150+ passengers.

It's simple math and manners -- two people volunteer to step aside so the many aren't subjected to a possible trip from hell or the parents learn to handle their kids. If they can't, no biggie, that's life...but DON'T SUBJECT EVERYONE ELSE TO HELL BECAUSE OF IT.

If the parents can't do this -- then the airline should.

As far as I can tell (having read the local papers) Southwest did the right thing. They also apologized, got them another flight and gave them a $300 bonus voucher.

Parents and children should be given respect and the benefit of the doubt but it's 2 passengers vs. 150 or more...bump them and give them $300 bucks, it's better for everyone.

Seriously, if an organization targets, harasses and threatens to kill people and has a connection to more then a few "pro-life" murders, then these people are terrorist, plain and simple.

Instead we have double digit increases each year, millions uninsured/non-covered in the WEALTHIEST country in the world...and these retards are calling it terrorism. I call BULLSHIT.

The Party of No speaks again...with its foot in its mouth.
