Lieberman Has “Superdelegate†Status Stripped Because of McCain Endorsement Be sure to read the comments, too, remembering that Jeffords was a man of principle, whose “memory problems”, whilst hastening his retirement, must not have had anything to do with his decision to become an “Independent” and caucus with the Democrats, whereas what Lieberman has done . . . base Benedict Arnold-like betrayal of the blackest sort. 36 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

They’ll keep driving Lieberman away. If he could only move a bit farther to the right, he could fit in well with Republicans.
Or, if McCain holds sway, Lieberman just needs to wait…we’ll be there soon enough.

I preferred Chuck Connors as the Rifleman.
Comment by SarahW on 2/6 @ 10:53 pm #
Woo, I loved Chuck as rifleman, esp that thing he did with his rifle. (48 seconds in, in this mattel commercial re-creation of Chuck’s shootin style.)
Changey youth, amyloid tangles, pick your poison.

Well, shoot, wrong link there. Right one.
I guess I’m going with amyloid tangles.

If the Reps had the same rule, none of their super delegates could vote for McCain.
Comment by Gray on 2/6 @ 11:10 pm #
Meh…. Don’t care:
I’d be crapping pretty hard on Cheney or Dan Quayle if one of ‘em endorsed Obama al Hussein.
Comment by datadave on 2/6 @ 11:21 pm #
good one, Sara. loved that gun, the bullets disappeared pretty quick though. Dan’s first link seems messed up though.
Lieberman always alarmed me as his voice is kind of creepy. Constipated sounding. But being nice about it. He was a real lousy and wussy debating Cheney. (As was Edwards, neither of them would do what the public wanted: smack Dick over the head.) He looks like My Favorite Martian although that guy sort of is like McCain too.
Comment by JD on 2/6 @ 11:30 pm #
The most ironic part is that with the exception of the war, Sen. Lieberman is a solid liberal.
Comment by happyfeet on 2/6 @ 11:34 pm #
Lieberman is kind of like Gollum. He’ll have his part to play before the end. For good or ill I cannot say.

So, I read that fucking comment thread over at manbearpig. I could feel my brains gradually oozing out of my head.
Comment by daleyrocks on 2/7 @ 12:05 am #
I didn’t know chicks liked the Rifleman. Kewl.
Comment by Darleen on 2/7 @ 12:32 am #
oh daley
when I was a kid I loved all the westerns… Rifleman, Wagon Train, Have Gun Will Travel, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Rawhide (Paul Brinegar/Wishbone lived on the same street as my best friend), Cheyenne, Sugarfoot
good times, good times

I missed that datadave signaled he was from Vermont in another thread. That explains a whole fucking lot.
Comment by Natashiya on 2/7 @ 12:50 am #
He deserves it! Maybe McCain’s group promised him something in exchange for endorsing McCain.

Does anyone think INDEPENDENT Lieberman really cares? Only Jane Hamsher seems to.

Only Jane Hamsher seems to.

Only Jane Hamsher seems to
seems to care, that is.
Not sure what happened there.

TSK9 – You don’t really give a shit what Jane Hampster thinks, do you? She does have that nice belly button tramp stamp and all, but there are limits, aren’t there?

I don’t give a rats ass what she thinks, it’s only that she thinks this is devastating to Lieberman or something. Sort of like she thought Lamont was going to be devastating.
Comment by steveaz on 2/7 @ 6:25 am #
Guys, here’re my predictions for ‘08-’09:
1. Once elected, Obama will resume the “Palestinian Peace Process” that Bush sidelined in preference of real reforms of failed ME states.
2. Hussein Obama will be begin to recirculate the “Land for Peace” and “right of return” talking points from the Arab League.
3. In horror, Lieberman will switch parties and throw the Senate to the Republicans. The word “impeachment” will be floated.
4. As a result, “race” riots will be instigated in Broward and Palm Beach Counties in supposed response to a “racial profiling” of a Puerto Rican fugitive on a Florida freeway. Jesse Jackson will figure prominently.
5. Germany’s left-wing screed, Der Stern magazine, will print a ten-page spread on how America is controlled by racist Jooos.
I’ll stop at five.

Yeah, well, so’s McCain.
(Sorry – It was just laying there.)

Darleen,
I lked Sugarfoot so much that it’s a wonder I’m not gay.
I am STILL looking for a bottle of sasparilla.

“Zsa Zsa Gabor is 91 today. She’s so old she was born in Austria-Hungary.”
Comment by Semanticleo on 2/7 @ 9:28 am #
Now Lieberman can join the Likud Party.
Comment by Brainster on 2/7 @ 9:41 am #
Much as I appreciate Lieberman’s support of the presumptive nominee, I do have to wonder why he retained Super Delegate status after leaving the party. He’s been an independent for over a year and a half now.
Comment by daleyrocks on 2/7 @ 10:10 am #
steveaz – After those five things on your list occur, Ton Paul will be swept into power by popular acclaim to his rightful position of Fuhrer, right?
Comment by Rob Crawford on 2/7 @ 10:44 am #
Wow. A “divided loyalty” smear. You’re all class, ‘cleo.
Comment by McGehee on 2/7 @ 11:20 am #
Interestingly, on Steveaz’s list, 1 and 2 also seem likely to occur if McCain is elected. Am I wrong?
Comment by kelly on 2/7 @ 11:36 am #
Anybody but me ever wondered how you could take a (presumably) forged metal sword and break it it two over your leg before handing it back to the disgraced cavalryman?
Comment by Dan Collins on 2/7 @ 11:55 am #
kelly–
I recall a Don Martin cartoon from Mad Magazine where the officer tries breaking the sword over his knee with the edge down, and cuts off his leg.
Comment by Jim in KC on 2/7 @ 12:15 pm #
Au contraire, datadave. Cheney wouldn’t do what the public wanted and tell Edwards to go fuck himself.
Comment by kelly on 2/7 @ 12:16 pm #
Don Martin was way cool.
Comment by steveaz on 2/7 @ 1:27 pm #
Here’s #6 guys.
After some tough, anti-terror talk by Obama in his first SOTU, masked Kenyan “youths” butcher 30 of Obama’s fellow clansmen, and hold another 20 of his “relatives” in a church.
The White House slides into crisis mode, because, well, family matters. VP Clinton blames a “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” for the ensuing media circus.
Comment by Swen Swenson on 2/8 @ 6:54 pm #
It was a Hollywood saber, Kelly. You’d really hurt your leg if you tried to break a real one that way.
Comment by Swen Swenson on 2/8 @ 7:15 pm #
But you probably wouldn’t cut yourself. Traditionally, you only sharpen the foible of a saber, the last 8-10 inches toward the point. The forte is left blunt, the better to use it to parry and avoid any notching that would weaken the blade.
