If the Democrats wonder why, even though they’re in power, their most ardent supporters have no faith in them, it’s because of stupidity like this.
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman plans to deliver the Democrats’ radio response to President Bush Saturday and urge that the president and Congress “hold the Pentagon and Army chain of command accountable for the neglect of our soldiers at Walter Reed” Army Medical Center.
It doesn’t matter that Lieberman is (surprisingly) speaking on the right side of this issue. He isn’t a Democrat. He ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary. He caucases with the Dems, but has made it clear he wishes to be regarded as the Independent senator from his state. If he wants to give the response, he should give the independent response. The Democratic response ought to be given by a Democrat, or at least someone who supports the position of the vast majority of Democrats on the most important issue of our time – Iraq.
Arghh! Who is responsible for this stupid idea?
I don’t get it. This just seems like a ploy to keep Lieberman caucusing with the Dems. But, even if Joe switches, I am under the impression that the Senate can filibuster a change in the leadership makeup, thus preserving the Democratic control of the committees. So … why don’t we throw Lieberman under the bus and tell him to take his right-wing rhetoric elsewhere?
seeing as the commanding general and the sect of the army are already looking for new jobs…
as usual, the demoncrats lead from the rear….
Wow. Someone finally got fired.
Pyramids of naked people, domestic surveillance, and a deeply flawed strategy… and it still took 5 years.
The deep symbolism of the firing, unfortunately, makes me believe in the long run it’s a bunch of hot air, and our veterans will still be out in the cold (or in with the mold).
Yet again DEM leadership is going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory…
Lieberman has insulted every single one of them since he was elected and yet he is treated with reverance …..why????
wake the hell up…arghhhhhhh
Just another Bush privatization fuck up. We support the troops to fund Halliburton cronies.
Privatisation of everything is a great idea what’s wrong with you can’t you see how much better and more efficient every single public service is in Britain now they’re not run for the public you loony leftist red blaaaagh.
Methinks Joe has dirty pictures of somebody in safe deposit box somewhere.
