What does Joe Lieberman do after the election?

[liberalpragmatist]

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if, stripped of his committee chairmanship, he resigns, joins the American Enterprise Institute and takes up a gig as a Fox News contributor.

[onenote]

1. serves out his term is my guess

[Faygo Kid]

15. Yep. And switches parties and becomes a constant thorn in President Obama's side.

I for one promise to ignore him.

[NJmaverick]

2. I hear rumors that he will join the GOP

[YDogg]

3. wipe?

depends on how soon after the election, I suppose.

[theothersnippywshrub]

42. That would take years. Maybe the rest of his life.

[OKNancy]

4. move to Connecticut and marry John McCain

I feel really bad I stole that from another DUer and I laughed so hard I had to repeat it.

[tridim]

5. He can go Cheney himself for all I care

He should probably just quit. What would be the point in staying?

[BlooInBloo]

6. Who cares?

[femmocrat]

7. Fade away?

We can only hope!

[LiberalFighter]

8. Die a slow death a thousand different ways.

[Gman]

9. Lieberman will go back to being Lieberman

He will go back to being a US Senator. He will caucus with the Democrats because, except for the occupation and issues regarding Israel ,he is in step with the Democrats.

[occe]

I hope

We never hear from him again.

[JitterbugPerfume]

10. who cares?

he has absolutely no credibility

[rfranklin]

11. How about sepuku?

It's not so hard. You just need a sharp knife. I think he can manage it.

[Arugula Latte]

17. It's the only way he can preseve his "honor."

If he can't do it himself, maybe he can just throw himself on a cooking table at Benihana and let the chefs-in-training practice on him. Whoops! There goes Joe's nose into that chef's pocket! Oh, look, another one caught Joe's ear on top of his hat!

[DJ13]

12. Emigrates to Israel

He hasnt cared about the US for a long time.

[StClone]

20. I was going to post that

Since he has shown an overriding interest in Israel over U.S. concerns.

[MichiganVote]

28. That was my thought. Cares more about Israel than the US.

[RagAss]

36. Yup

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. Go back to playing "Willie" on the new Alf remake. nt

[joeybee12]

14. He was hoping for a Cabinet post...now he'll look to running for Gov...

...I don't know why, but the Dems in CT can't win that governorship for squat...Holy Joe would run as a third party and might win as he did for the Senate...he's like the pustulent boil that never goes away.

[book_worm]

16. Try to suck up to Reid so that the Dems don't take his chairmanship away.

[Sebastian Doyle]

25. Reid?

That spineless asswipe ain't gonna be the Majority Leader anymore.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Remove his docking station from McCain's butt, and search

for another GOP up and comer to attach himself to.

[Az]

19. His career is over after this election

The only thing he has clung onto was the narrow gap between rep and dem leadership in the senate. Once we have the Presidency and the pickup in the senate he's done. He will be tossed from any committee he is still on. All claims to any sort of power zapped. He will be done.

[Tribetime]

21. Go back to work for Huckleberry Hound

[liberal renegade]

30. Huckleberry doesn't need a deputy....

[Sebastian Doyle]

22. Forms another stupid political party for himself

I've heard that "Connecticut for Lieberman" no longer endorses him. Yes, I'm completely serious.

[Frank Booth]

40. What?!? Lieberman managed to piss off even the party NAMED for him??

I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

[Sebastian Doyle]

41. Seriesly! This is HUGH!111!!!

"What we stand for:
The Connecticut for Lieberman Party (CFL) rejects the fraud perpetrated on the members of this party and the citizens of Connecticut by Joe Lieberman when he used the creation of this party to get on the general election ballot in 2006. The CFL is an independent, anti-war, anti-corruption, pro-fiscal responsibility, pro-democracy party, that stands for individual liberties and real problem-solving in government. The CFL wants everyone to know that in the United States of America, voters are free to join any party they wish, and participate in the democratic process according to the laws of Connecticut and the United States."

Oy vey, Joe.... now TWO parties hate you. And I don't expect a lot of Republicans like you either, despite all the ass kissing.

[chiefofclarinet]

47. Good Lord...

He has gone against the party he created? And they no longer endorse him?? :wtf:

:rofl:

[WeDidIt]

23. Serve out the remainder of his term then retire to being a consultant for Fox News

What else?

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. Maytag Repairman

Only more lonely.

[jonnyblitz]

26. I regret I have to wait until 2012 before I can vote against him

AGAIN here in CT. x(

[CK_John]

27. If he is the 60 th vote in the Senate, he will be more powerful than ever. n/t

[depakid]

29. Ends up as the deciding vote on filibusters

[mokawanis]

31. Write a book, make some speeches

and remain an asshole for the rest of his pathetic life.

[asdjrocky]

32. Try to pull his head out of McTrolls ass?

Just a guess.

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

33. My house needs pressure-washing.

Joe, I'll even supply the ladder.

[TlalocW]

34. My Schadenfreude Fantasy

Is that the democrats do strip him of any power he has in the democratic party and give him an undesirable office; that his staff wise up that they're working for persona non grata in both parties and quits, and he spends the rest of his term sitting behind his desk with the lights off, staring down at nothing with that droopy hound dog expression of his and mumbling about how unfair life is to him. Then I hope he runs again, and he gets his ass kicked because this time, the republicans will not care about supporting his campaign, and once he loses, he'll realize just how far he went in undermining the party's positions for his own personal glory and vendettas, and he'll have to live with the fact that everything that happened to him was his own damn fault.

[StevieM]

35. I think he'll serve out the remainder of his term. And I doubt he will be kicked out of the caucus

since they need his vote for procedural matters to shut down fillibusters. So he'll stay an "independent Democrat." But I don't think he'll run for re-election in 2012.

[cliffordu]

37. Seppuku, if there's any justice.....

[Frank Booth]

38. Never underestimate Lieberman's ability to annoy.

I'm sure he'll do something that will give him a lot of exposure and allow him to act sanctimonious as ever.

[Fran Kubelik]

39. No one will care.

He has zero credibility.

[quakerboy]

43. my 2 cents

I think I know why the Dem's haven't burned him yet. I've lived enough life to know that the most annoying things continue to happen, on an all together irritatingly regular basis.

With that in mind, consider the possibility that after the election is done, we end up with 58 Dems, one socialist, and holy Joe. Thus making us reliant on Fucking Joe for 60 votes.

Which means he will continue to be a blight on us for another 4 years.

[Essene]

44. takes up Teaching gig at Yale, duh...

[NNadir]

45. I am not a vindictive man, but I want this bitter fool removed from our party.

[renie408]

46. Go to hell, straight to hell and not collect $200?? n/t
