Messin’ with Lieberman

Posted on 12/15/2009 at 9:39 pm by Bob Cesca

BooMan has a great idea for dealing with Joe Lieberman.

Maybe we should find out how Lieberman likes to get to work and just go park our cars in the middle of those streets each morning. You know, just because we can.

I have a serious question here: From now on, do we have to support the exact opposite of what we want in order to fake out Joe Lieberman? I mean, I know he sounds like Elmer Fudd, but now we have to outsmart him as if we’re in a Bugs Bunny cartoon?

US: Public option!
LIEBERMAN: No public option!
US: No public option!
LIEBERMAN: Public option!
US: Thank you! ZOOM!

    Obama thanked Lieberman privately for his statement issued earlier Tuesday pledging support for the bill as long as the Medicare expansion and public option were eliminated from the bill, Lieberman saidoh brother. Obama definately has some kind of a problem.

    And you believe a word Lieberman says again, why? I’m not saying it might not have happened, but are you really taking something Lieberman said at face value?

    Jan, Robert Gibbs was pretty clear that Obama came down on Lieberman as hard as anyone else. I would believe Gibbs over Liberman or any source that came from.Jennifer

    I just don’t understand why anybody would believe anything he says. He’ll say anything to make himself look good. He’s the worst kind of politician.

    Yeah Jan, I heard that they had a couple of beers together to celebrate.geesh! what to do, what to do?

    Elmer Fudd is soooo much better looking than Lieberman.

    Bob – That’s 10/10 points for the Bugs Bunny reference, and 10/10 for suggesting ways to make Joe’s life miserable.But I’m afraid I’m gonna have to deduct a point or two for not incorporating “Droopy” into a post portraying Joe Lieberman as a cartoon character. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

    My idea to pass the bill we want is simple. It is the classic Progressive Nuclear Option: The Washington Plan.Wait till Christmas, then vote on the bloody bill.

    Bob, what’s to stop Obama from asking for a public option in his SOTU?Just askin’.

  • Gottverdammt Klaus

    Matt,If I may answer – he won’t ask for it because he doesn’t want more egg on his face than he already has.Unless the White House produces a video of Ben Nelson and Lieberman having wild gay sex on an Aetna-funded junket in Argentina, the public option is dead.

    GREAT idea! but let’s take it one step further: let’s clog every street in DC with cars, then get out of them and get onto the Metro, and clog that with our bodies.
