Lieberman encounters resistence on his "Cup of Joe with Joe" tour

[WI_DEM]

...And while he was on his tour of the New Colony diner in Bridgeport today, not everyone was as receptive of his pitch that he wants to give all voters a chance to decide. "that's a way of looking at it, another way is you being a sore loser," says Adam Mocciolo, Waterbury. "Oh no no, in the end the public will decide," says Loserman, umm, Lieberman.

5. It's not really bad from what I heard.

2. The public DID decide, Mr. Lieberman

I guess when he loses again in November, Joe will barricade himself inside his Senate office and defiantly whine that they'll never take him alive.

I note that after the initial shock of his loss, Lieberman's poll numbers are back to within the margin of error (two points) ahead of Lamont. And unlike the Breck girl, the closer one gets to Lieberman right now, the better he doesn't look.

3. Good quote

"As a lawyer, I really, at least know that I should not offer legal opinions until some lawyer looks at that, I think it's a divisive move," says Lieberman.

Ummm... Joe.. don't you think you're the one being devisive?

6. Divisive, Delusional, Legal(?)

Keep in mind that when Senator Lieberman was supportive of the Invasion and Decimation of Iraq: Whatever it was he imagined was going was basis for a Just Pre-Emptive War.

And now all these years later, apparently those were "The Good Old Days."

Now he's running for re-election because "Things are a lot better, now."

That's why Lamont has to win. Just possibly the Republican has figured that out, too!

7. After All, Does It Really Get Any Better Than This?

We now face an entire Shia Crescent in control of the known oil reserves, able to send it all to China in return for the "technological stuff." Hezbollah has a premier world-standing even as against the United States and Israel. North Korea has the bomb, and Chavez of Venezuela is ascendant in the Western Hemisphere. The Middle East is de-stabilized in favor of pro-Palestinian heroes. The Saudis and Kuwatis are effectively now isolated in the region. It's even any wonder that the sheiks of Dubai will even talk to an American anymore.

Senator Lieberman finds all that basis for re-election due to some nature of higher calling.

One thing certain. Not that many politicians are willing to lay claim to being the guy personally responsible for having made all that happen to America, take credit for having wanted it all along, and claim that every bit of it was the right thing to do to the United States.

And there are even others like him.

(And he didn't win.)

(And none of them know that.)
