Lieberman is PISSED. Stalked by the Joe & the KISS float- PHOTO

[ariesgem]

The Senator and his friends in Milford today. Just another stop for the "Tomorrow Tour" (or the "Joe Farewell" tour) with the KISS float haunting his every step.

1. Its the company you keep

n/t

[connecticut yankee]

58. The Kissmobile

has been following Joe all over the state.

At every appearance he makes, the float is stationed as close to him as it can get.

[bananarepublican]

88. "The long kiss goodbye!" n/t

[lebkuchen]

107. Rodin?

as in "Road"ann?

Pity it wasn't "The Thinker," but then, Lieberman didn't use his head in this campaign. Voters want out of Iraq. Get a clue, Senator.

[LincolnMcGrath]

61. Joe’s dlcentrist-zellocrat supporters may want to ask their

newest buddies, the College Republicans, if they can help them put together a crack team of keyboard warriors to help them Swift Boat the FLOAT.

[samsingh]

78. love it - joe is being swiftboated

[AzDar]

79. No...he's being SwiftFLOATED!!

Hilarious! :spray:

[ariesgem]

81. ...

:rofl:

[LincolnMcGrath]

82. lol

:spray:

[tblue37]

98. NO! He is NOT being "Swiftboated"!

Swiftboating is a smear--it is lying. The kissmobile is telling the honest-to-God truth!

[Arugula Latte]

112. Wait, nevermind ...

wrong response ... sorry

[chiffon]

5. I just love this picture!!!

:rofl:

[kysrsoze]

42. Looks like a good candidate for the "Priceless" caption

[chiffon]

65. Sooo True! I still can't stop laughing cause i used to live in CT. n/t

[wicket]

6. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

:rofl:

[MrSlayer]

7. Awww Poor Joe.

My heart bleeds for him. :nopity:

[longship]

8. OMG!!! He is so fucked.

This isn't going to a dignified exit from public life.

Lieberman is totally imploding.

[QuestionAll...]

35. i really truly want to participate in the victory...

but my balloon has been burst too many times.

what if.
that asshole is still around. tanks to Diebold.

[MarkDevin]

69. CT doesn't use Diebold machines.

We still pull levers here.

[QuestionAll...]

83. wohoooo! thanks for the good news!

now I can laugh my ass off in earnest.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

and a drink or nine to those people following him about in the float. Now that's campaigning!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jim Warren]

9. Now that's funny

The photo, not mullah joe.

[cracksquirrel]

*best Nelson voice*

HA-HA!

[Mr_Spock]

10. What is it they say about reaping what you sow?

That's a great photo representing the times we face today...

[LisaM]

11. I think he truly doesn't see what we see

I've heard him on the radio in the past few weeks and he truly believes that his 90% record of "voting with the Democrats" is passable. Well, it's NOT passable. That means that 10% of the time, he votes with the Republicans, and on some issues that really divide him from the progressive wing of the party, including votes for corporations and of course Iraq.

And it's very troubling to me that he appears willing to fight harder after a loss in a Senate primary race than he did in 2000. That was MY vote he disenfranchised back then, damn it.

[immoderate]

25. Good point. Dems and Republicans vote alike much of the time!

Especially before Bush. Bills are tailored to get bipartisan support. On routine budgets, highway appropriations, resolutions, naming Post Offices, etc., there is little difference. On some bills, corporate and social policy, the difference is critical.

--IMM

[jaysunb]

27. Excellent post !

The MSM should see it. and maybe they'd stop trying to tie Joe's upcoming loss to the war only. :toast:

[JNelson6563]

28. It's not even just the voting record

It's the extra-curricular Rethug supporting he does. Speaking against those who disagree with the simian. WTF??!! :wtf: That is the most undemocratic thing he could do!!!

Julie

[Jacobin]

32. He doesn't understand that warmongering is a big problem

Its not just another ten percent issue.

It involves nations going to war

[Lone_Star_Dem]

45. Perhaps he feels he stayed in the acceptable margin

Perhaps they have a formula they follow and he didn't go outside of what's recommended. As such he could be having a hard time grasping why he's being singled out and made an example of.

If so, that's all the more reason to pound home the point that MANY Dems, and pretty much all of the progressive ones, find him to be a traitor.

It's not just the 10% that he voted against us on, it's what that 10% was and what it represented.

[WinkyDink]

59. Agreed! Try to find a Republican who votes 10% of the time for a Dem!

[NoodleyAppendage]

99. At his core, Joe is a selfish asshole. He only cares about himself.

His continued CYA moves with the dual-Senate/VP run in 2000 was a hint that Joe is all about "Joe".

J

[SoCalDem]

110. His "90%" votes in a republican controlled senate are MEANINGLESS

He can safely vote WITH the democrats when he knows the vote will be against them anyway...BUT when it really mattered to democrats, he was with the 10% (as were a LOT of dems who should know better...but at least they did not have their KISS on the record)

Sorry Joe...you laid down with a dog..and you got fleas:)

[Arugula Latte]

113. And, actually, it's not really that 10 percent so much as it is

the way he seems to go gleefully out of his way to kiss Bushco's collective asses while simultaneously flipping us off and scoffing at us and tut-tut/tsk-tsking us while fellating Sean Hannity at the same time (he's a busy guy, that Joe ...)

[cliss]

12. HA HA HA OMG...

I'm at the library, and I'm laughing out loud..

This has GOT to be the funniest post I've seen all year.

You know what really hilarious?? Over on the Daily Kossack, they were posting this photo....of just Lieberman & Bush kissing. NOW, we get to see Lieberman's reaction.

OMG.....this is too good.

[Donailin]

36. OMG is right!

I can't wipe the smile off my face! That is fucking HILARIOUS. That float -- which is FP'ed on DailyKos every day -- has never been in more perfect context, it's ingenious. The imagery rivals the best comedy scenes in existence.

LOL!!!

[KurtNYC]

116. The other reaction was for the Lieberman camp to produce a button

of him hugging Bill Clinton (whom he helped impeach).

Clinton traveled to Connecticut last week to appear with the senator and endorse him. By Friday, Lieberman's campaign had produced a button showing Clinton with his arm around the senator at the rally — an intended antidote for the button Lamont supporters have distributed for months showing Bush embracing (sic) Lieberman after the president's 2005 State of the Union Address.

The Lamont button reads "The Kiss"; Lieberman's camp calls its button "The Hug."

They truly don't get it

[Canuckistanian]

13. Muwahahahaha

You can NEVER escape the Kiss Float, Joe, try as you might.

Resistance is futile.

46. Eh

This is sort of like watching Israel vs the Palestinians. Y'all aren't ever going to make peace, are you?

Referring to "Joe's dlcentrist-zellocrat keyboard warrior supporters" wouldn't seem to be too far away from referring to "left-wing yapping loonies."

Oh hell, I don't seek peace, I suppose. Just detente and a civil discussion instead of namecalling.

Ah but I might as well try and catch the wind...

[DistressedAmerican]

16. Best Effigy EVER!!!

[charlie]

17. He's looking like Ben Gazzara

Joe, what happened to that sunny Just Glad To Be Here face you wear in the Rose Garden, Hannity and Colmes, Meet the Press, etc?

[QuestionAll...]

84. he's a godless Jomo kissing his own chromosome types!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cha]

18. The "Kiss Float"! Kinda like

The Blue Dress!

Edit~ Thank CTBob and ariesgem!

[graywarrior]

19. It's almost like the Judas kiss.....

except that would make Joe a martyr.

[ClayZ]

chuckle hahahahha

Ah, that is sooooo good!

24. The kiss of data.

Not a happy camper.

[spanone]

26. K & R Bwahahahahahaha.....

[democrank]

29. This is what happens

when you ankle grab one too many times. Many in the Democratic Party base have had it with ass kissers.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

30. As you sow so shall you reap

He has no right to be pissed, he owns his actions.

[Dr Fate]

31. God I hope he loses.

I've been holding my tounge b/c I hate being wrong- but I sure hope Lamont pulls through.

It's more about Lieberman's non-aggressive attitude towards these crooks & liars than anything else. We need someone who knows you cant "work with" liars & criminals of the conservative stripe.

I've sent lamont $10 bucks- I wish I could send more.

[JNelson6563]

33. Look how uncomfortable it makes him!!

hahaha!!! Yes Joe, there are consequences to your actions. Disregard your constituents for your own good and this is what happens.

34. The Kiss - by Rodents. nt

38. It is time we kiss goodbye Joey

:hi:
You are tainted brother.

[Justice Is Comin]

39. That's one kiss that's haunting him like

mononucleosis halitosis :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

40. A drive-by floating.

[Donailin]

103. Olney??

You live right up the street from me :-)

I'm a stones throw from "Siezure World." By any chance have you been part of the protests on 108 and Georgia I see every now and then on Saturday's when I hit Shoppers Food Warehouse?

If so-- good on ya! I would love to know who organizes those, I think it's great and I'd be happy to sign up for that. . .
-Danielle

[GAPeace]

41. I laughed like crazy

That's great!

[LittleClarkie]

43. Reminds me of the Flipper people during the campaign

except that there was an actual kiss.

Dude needs to keep his puss to himself in the future at SOTU speeches if he doesn't want folks bringing it up.

[Roon]

44. I bet if he had to do it all over again

he wouldn't have kissed bush

[me b zola]

47. Whuss wrong Joe, not feeling so lovey-dovey now-a-days?

[MagickMuffin]

48. Now that's funny ;-P

Seems like ole Joementum isn't a happy camper...

Even though he pretends he isn't anything like the Mad king Boy George, his actions speak louder than words.

Case in point his banning people from attending his campaign events.

Hey Joe, you get what you deserve. When you make yourself out to be a Corporate Whore, then sooner or later you will find yourself in a compromised position.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[formercia]

49. Say it ain't so, Joe

Bow you head in shame. Those atrocities aren't helping any, are they?

When I did well, I heard it never.
When I did ill, I heard it ever.

[Bluebear]

50. Smooooooooooooch Joementum!

:rofl:

[WI_DEM]

51. "A Kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh--the fundamental things

apply as Time goes by."

[Cha]

54. Not like this

kiss! I am so applauding whomever went all out to effigy bush and joe..k-i-s-s-i-n-g..on top o the car!

[Burried News]

53. Knee deep in Elephant shit on a hot summer day.

And if you go independent Joe, we'll be on you all the way till November.

[sandnsea]

55. Eleanor Roosevelt did that

When Franklin was running for state Senate I think. The opposing candidate was involved in the Teapot Dome scandal so she stuck a teapot on top of her car and followed him all over the state. Funny idea.

Too bad we don't do this against Republicans though.

[MzNov]

64. Eleanor Roosevelt rocked

This Kiss Float is almost the funniest thing I've ever seen. Whoever came up with the idea is a genious and we need him/her for Democrat here in CA !! Angeledes needs help quick!!

:-)

Nedrenaline!!

Goodbye, Joe, you gotta go, me o my o
Gonna show "Joe defeated" in your bio.

63. ROFL!

70. May I add a lyric or two?

Ned Lamont's the man we want, yes indeed-o.
I'm gonna vote so that Ned can take your seat-o.

[notadmblnd]

67. don't be hatin' Joe,

just be happy they didn't use the photo of you with your lips planted on bushes ass to make their float.

[MarkDevin]

68. Dammit, I want a "Kiss Float" T-shirt!

Will somebody please make one available?

[LynzM]

104. Mark, we've got pics from the Boom Box parade

Maybe you could have one made? :rofl:

[uncertainty1999]

71. If the just keep driving that car around the state....

...Lieberman will lose for sure.

[Kurovski]

72. It's so cruel, yet so terribly amusing.

Talk about being haunted by the memory of a lingering kiss. Geez.

[Hobarticus]

73. How many pieces of silver for your soul, Judas Joe?

That is hilarious.

[yorkiemommie1]

74. Love it, love it, love it !!!

n/t

[lonestarnot]

75. heh heh heh.... and don't you forget it!

[Joe Bacon]

76. What would be even greater...

...If the KISSmobile had a bunch of speakers playing Prince's "KISS" over and over.

[ariesgem]

89. Oh that would be TOO funny!

[samsingh]

77. the two would like to be lovers

[Major Hogwash]

80. Holy Cow! He does look pissed off.

Too bad.

Did he know that the nephew of Senator Max Baucus was killed in the Iraq War last week?

Link to that story -
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060801/pl_nm/iraq_marine_dc_1

[NJCher]

87. accountability

You know what strikes me about this? That somebody out there not only remembered that kiss but memorialized it in a giant statue which took quite a bit of time, talent, and creativity to make.

Now, not only did they make the statue, but they went to the trouble to put it ON TOP of a car. And then this delightful soul took the time and trouble to track down where Joementum would be and arranged to be there.

Now that is someone with a serious resentment problem...someone...well, someone quite like me!




Cher

[Hubert Flottz]

91. I don't see what all the fuss is about Joe kissing Bush...

Hell, it wasn't even the first date.

[yorkiemommie1]

106. LOL!!!

n/t

[LynzM]

105. Not only once,

But they're following him around, or rather, leading. Showing up at all his events before he even gets there!

[rucky]

90. From the headline, I was expecting to see Paul, Gene & Ace.

This is much better.

[Kire]

92. He doesn't even look at it in the video.

He's talking to the cameraman the whole time. It would be much better to watch it startle him on camera. Great still, though.

http://ctbob.blogspot.com/2006/08/happiest-aggressive-interrogator.html

[npincus]

93. too f*cking funny!

[Dirty Hippie]

95. Here is a better Image of The Kiss

[ananda]

96. This should be the case..

.. with all Dems who voted Reep: for Roberts, for Alito, for the war, for the bankruptcy law, etc......

[PleadTheFirst]

97. DINO hunting at it's BEST!

Fucking CLASSIC. :rofl:

[IronLionZion]

100. Yet, I wish he was our Vice President right now

because then he could do less damage and big Al would be president. The world would be in a much better condition.

[MrCoffee]

102. Remember that scene at the end of Goodfellas?

He looks like Ray Liota when he's getting chased by that helicopter! Feel the water circling down the drain, do ya, Joe?

[Blaze Diem]

108. Will the effectivness of the kiss-mobile be noted by other

Dems who have found themselves in Joe's same situation?


It is a great heads-up for other Senators and Reps who for too long sold out to Bush policies...

Republicans running close races may also take a serious look at what is happening to Senator Lieberman and why.

Their alliance with Bush may be their undoing.

[opihimoimoi]

109. Joe has sunk his own ship by sucking up to the Wimp....

Poor choices leads to poor showings at the polls.

He had it all but fucked it up

[Hubert Flottz]

124. "but fucked it up"

WELL...he did get a kiss! And 30 pieces of silver!

[opihimoimoi]

126. LOL....Yeah, Its so obvious...30 votes is whot he will get...

Those Bush Kisses are the KISS OF DEATH....LOL

[Midlodemocrat]

111. OMG. That is priceless!

[Arugula Latte]

114. Joe -- If you don't like The Kiss you can KISS OUR ASS!

:kick: Try kissing this one and you'll get a face full of hooves!

[graywarrior]

115. I so dig it that this thread is still here.

[jonnyblitz]

118. aren't we evil?

[LincolnMcGrath]

119. Democratic Kick

[Frank Cannon]

120. Why do pics of that "Kiss" float have me LMAO every time?

I honestly think that float is one of the greatest pieces of political theater ever.

[No Exit]

121. I dearly, dearly love the "Kiss Float"

and I think after this is over, it should be placed in the Smithsonian, in the "This Is What Happens To Warmongers" display.

[No Exit]

122. Betcha this is the first time in a decade this perfumed aristocrat had to

stand on a sidewalk in the sun... and that doesn't just go for Holy Joe, but for ALL those overfed pigs in congress.

[Hubert Flottz]

123. "Ich liebe dich Mein Fuhrer"

If Joe is too stupid to be pissed off at Bush, for what Bush has done to the country, then Joe is too stupid to be in congress.

[kath]

125. Luuuurrrrvvve the KissMobile! A serious question - when was the last time

a sitting US Senator lost a primary election?

inquiring minds want to know...

[opihimoimoi]

127. 1856

[Hubert Flottz]

128. KIck Joe out...

:kick:...and...Recommend that he don't let the door hit him in the poop chute on the way out of Dodge!
