Jolting Joe

Liberal Democrats are enraged at Joe Lieberman for supporting the Iraq war. But will attacking the Connecticut senator make the party stronger -- or alienate its moderates?

    Jolting Joe has no relevance

    Who cares what Joe Lieberman thinks? He is obviously out of touch with reality in SO MANY ways, not the least of which are his views on Iraq and the moron in the Oval Office. You have to question anyone’s credibility or intelligence if they can find ANYTHING positive about this administration. Seriously, name one thing they have gotten or done right - most rational people can’t, but Joe finds LOTS to support and be cheery about.

    Joe has never been very realistic… I mean he actually thought he had a chance at the Whitehouse? The fact is Joe Lieberman cost Al Gore the 2000 election (it never should have been close). But you were never going to get enough moderate or conservative “Red Staters” to place their confidence in a wimpy, whiney schlemiel like Joe Lieberman. If Gore had picked ANYONE else, he’d have won. Lieberman is the only person on the planet that could have made Bush and Cheney look palatable to a substantial portion of the public. The sad fact is Lieberman still looks worse than they do - they may be idiots, but Joe is their lackey boy.
