Lieberman wins!

The three-term incumbent senator was beaten by a political unknown, but on election night his team was already spinning it as a victory.

    All Hail Prince Joe

    Lieberman's narcissism and sense of entitlement have now gone over the edge. The entire affair reminds me of the great Roth satire of Nixon, "Our Gang." Nixon and his henchmen were thoroughly appalled/amazed how ANYONE in the country could possibly oppose them and the essential righteousness of their cause.

    Is Lieberman truly that deluded? Or has he just picked up enough Stalinesque political maneuvers from the Bushies to try one last cynical attempt to manipulate the electorate into some sort of scorched-earth campaign. He's the spoiled kid in a sandlot baseball game who's running home with his bat and ball because the other kids won't let him pitch.

    Go home, Joe and let the people who can make a change do the heavy lifting.
