If you look over his shoulder to the left and squint a bit, you’ll see Jane Hamsher in blackface sucking down a beer bong filled with Dos Equis. Or maybe that’s just the shadow of doom beginning its inexorable creep across a once proud nation.
Hard to tell, what with the bad lighting and all.

update: I kid! Who wants pirogies?
Holy crap! I never would’ve seen that! Thanks!
tw: McGovernite time again.
I was watching the speach and trying to decide if it was indeed impending doom or just the carne asada burito I had for dinner. Then A comercial came on pimping Cristy Lanes greatest hits and suddenly I just felt better.
I’m reminded of Burroughs making Terry Southern spray water out his nose at a conference by writing “A beautiful mind utterly destroyed by syph” on a legal pad while Ralph Ellison was speaking at the podium and Southern was having a sip of water…
OK Look, I don’t like (or even respect) any of these guys, but where are Carville, Begala, Davis, Brazille, Shrum and the rest of the professional Democrats? Why the hell are they sitting this fight out? They have to know what the moonbats, nutsroots and kossacks are doing to their party!
Keep an eye on Hillary. She is either going to have to capitulate to the likes of Kos or she will surely be their next target.
I see this as a win/win.
If Lieberman had won it would have further fractured the Democratic party between the anti-war crowd and the Democratic regulars and proven that a “Bash Bush” theme wasn’t strong enough to win over inter-party support, much less a general election. Since he lost, it will make the contrast between the mainstream American public and the progressive elements of the Democratic party more appearent while eroding the votes for both Liberman and Lamont while futher showing that the Democratic tent is off the pegs and moving left.
For the love of all that is political, the Democratic party has just moved away from the man they had as a past Vice Presidential canidate. It will be amusing to see them fast talk their way around that.
I think that they’re giving the nutroots the rope they need to hang themselves come time for the general election this fall.
Let’s face it, they pulled out all the stops to win a primary, which only the party diehards vote in anyway. The fringe always has bigger representation in primary elections and this is in no way representative of the electorate as a whole.
Now they have their empty suit on the ballot and I’ll just bet between now and election day, Mad Howie Dean, the Kos kiddies et al will be able to alienate and disgust enough people that either Lieberman wins as an independent or a republican’s elected.
I think that the media’s milking this for all it can get, but the show’s far from over.
TW: going, as in over the cliff like a herd of lemmings.
The correct answer was gravity bong…she was in fact hitting the gravity bong in the back ground. Imagine the panic on the faces of the left when Lamont is confronted about issues involving deregulation, or the implications of middle class tax relief of the receivables of local businesses in his district.
“I’ve always been against this war…Markos…Markos…what do I say now?”
At least McKinney lost in Georgia. One less moonbat, 9/11 conspiracy theory nut, cop-slapper, race-baiter in Congress next year.
Of course, now that Ned and Joe are going for round 2, that just means that the DNC will have to spend their not-so-plentiful campaign cash trying to preserve a seat that shouldn’t have been contested at all in the general election. I’m sure all of the other Democratic candidates are pleased about that.
And what’s more, he was on the only Democratic ticket for quarter of a century to win a majority of the popular vote. (Clinton got less than 50%, both times). This makes Lieberman the only Democrat currently in office with demonstrated national appeal. And the Dems just dumped him?
Never mind, Joe. Maybe you can be Condi’s vice president in 2009…
TW: It was all about the money.
I don’t think so scooter.
Total:
Bush 50,456,002 47.87%
Gore 50,999,897 48.38%
Nader 2,882,955 2.74%
TW: peace
It looks like my nicknaming the little weasel “Kos Bialystok” was true. He’s stuck with an unexpected hit, and now it’s going to choke him.
McGovern in ‘72, baby. The white flight bourgie ‘progressives’ of Connecticut have just embraced a minstrel show even blacks in Georgia rejected. So much for national appeal. The Democratic Party can no longer hide behind the ‘lefty fringe’ excuse; until November, this is the face of the Democratic party: single-issue race hypocrites obsessed with punishing a President who can’t even run again.
I suppose we can expect them to roll out the photoshops of Reid, Clinton, et al in blackface soon. It’s really gonna be fun to watch them from now until November.
Was that a Lamont victory speech or a Ricky Bobby commercial?
I gotta think in a fetal position sucking thier thumbs wondering where they went wrong.
She already has been. Her hubby Bubba could triangulate all over any blue dress that crossed his path, but she just doesn’t have the same … skill. Yeh, that’s it.
Besides…
OK, Jeff. Now you’ve gone too far. Dos Equis is a great beer, and now I have this picture in my head of Hamsher swilling it down. …. Now I’ll have to switch to Tecate, or God forbid!, even Corona for my Mexican beer fix.
I was watching the speach and trying to decide if it was indeed impending doom or just the carne asada burito I had for dinner.
When I eat a carne asada burrito for supper, the rest of the evening is fraught with impending doom.
At least according to my wife, that is.
As somebody pointed out somewhere, I find it amusing that Kos’s first victory involves defeating a longtime democratic incumbent.
“step” One more step into the abyss, imho.
PS anyone reading Reynold’s this morning get the impression he’s not all that upset to see Liberman go >?
Scene:
Hamster awakes next to the still slumbering Kos. The taste of cheap tequila and Doritos still fresh in her mouth.
She painfully raises her disheveled head from the pillow. Her hair is matted with dry vomit and semen. Jane quietly searches for the bedroom floor with her feet only to find the strap-on she was wearing just a few hours earlier. With one weak kick, it finds it’s way under the beb.
Naked and fragrant, she stumbles toward the bathroom. While hollowly gazing into the mirror, she is horrified by one thought.
“How will I tell Kos about the herpes?”
And the Democrats shuffle further to the Left. Way to go! Someone tell me again how the lunatic fringe Lefties don’t control the Democrat party? I need another good laugh. After all, nothing says “centrist” like a single-issue I-Hate-George-Bush candidate.
I can’t WAIT to see what they do for the general election!
TW: groups. Beware the power of stupid people in large groups.
Economics.
Think of how much money they’ll make in 2010.
TW: could. Oh no, will.
Not to mention a good, decent, deeply religious family man. Good job nutroots, good job.
Let the pinheads enjoy their 15 minutes of intoxication; the hangover is going to be a doozey.
In November, Lieberman rolls over Lamont like a Lincoln Towncar rolls over a cockroach and the Republicans win big as the nuts reveal the depth of their antisemitism and lunacy in the intervening three months. Fun for the whole family.
Matt: Glenn is very–how shall I say?–phlegmatic. Yeah, I think that’s a good word for him.
tw: Heh.
Oh, I think we need to order some extra chairs.
La Kosa Nostra (“our thing” or “this thing of ours” in Italian) is a worldwide alliance of criminals, linked through both familial and conspiratorial ties, that is dedicated to pursuing power and protecting its members. The Kosa Nostra consists of different “families” or groups that are generally arranged geographically and engaged in significant and organized political racketeering activity.
tw: quite quite.
I think I’m going to start a “Hahahahaha” campaign. I’ll post “Hahahahaha”–five has because it has an evil feel to it–in the comments of any lefty blog I can find and sign it Van Faculo. They’ll erase it, but it ought to irritate the shit out of them.
tw: Hahahahaha
I think squid’s spot on. This is a very expensive event for the DCCC—a multimillion-dollar version of one step forward, two steps back. Lamont had a right to run, of course, but I don’t think the numbers are going to make a lot of sense when the dust settles in November.
Lamont won by 10,000 or so votes of fewer than 300,000 cast, with practically everyone who preferred Lamont voting in the primary, and a large number of people who might vote for Lieberman still untapped. My guess is the general election is going to go pretty well for Lieberman.
Is it just me, or is the idea of dumping a Senator with years of seniority – meaning powerful comittee assignments and some major pull with both the Legislative and the Executive branches – because he refuses to kiss your libtard ass the way you’d like kinda, well, stupid?
Must just be me, I guess.
Ave Kos! Te morituri salutat!
SB: forms
must be obeyed
The NYT wishes to advise you knuckle dragging rethuglican retards that this is an uprising of “moderates”.
Who you gonna believe? The NYT or your lying eyes?
I guess the new definition of moderate Democrat, according to the Times, is someone who won’t outright murder you for having a different opinion.
Either that or the Times is lying. Again.
Look over at Ace‘s. Kos is a little bolshevik.
You misspelled “party.”
To bew fair to Lanny Davis (as painful as this is) he was on Fox News this morning absolutely reaming Ned and the Nuts.
Killer comment by RBMN at Captains’s Quarters:
Hahahahaha.
Hear, hear. She’s being replaced on the Dem ticket by a fellow liberal, but one who sees his role as more than just flipping a bird at the Big Bad White Man.
Don’t miss Atlanta talk show host Neal Boortz’s endzone dance, here.
Turing = clearly, as in He’s clearly not too bummed about this, at all, at all…
Throw Israel Under the Bus
See? In power for 5 minutes, and already Kos is making with the kingmaker stuff.
I am interested to know if anyone saw Hamsher at the victory speech on TV. She’s been at Lamont’s side all this time, but after the blackface fiasco, I figured they might push her behind the curtain.
No. She strikes me as more an ‘under the bus’ type. As soon as her views become widely known, she’ll be Jane Who?
ahem – steady now – a lot of the comments are pointing out to him that his socalled “brilliant idea” is exactly what they had in 1948, and we all saw yhow well that worked out. It’s a little like saying you should convince swimmers to always remember to wear their cement life jackets to make sure they don’t float away. Genrally they’re telling him he’s an wet behind the ear’s, mis-educated idiot, and those are just the Democrat posters.
I don’t think the Kossacks really have a clue as to the pile of “unpatriotic, anti-American, cut and run, appeasers” ammunition they’re handing the Repub’s, every time they open their mouths.
– This whole trope of morphing the natural human aversion to war into “most American’s want to cut and run”, is a losing proposition, as they’ll soon find out the hard way, since they can’t seem to remember the lesson of McGovern. Remember, most of them were in diapers in those days.
Yeah, I know he’s being denounced, but it’s so gratifying to have his own hideous worldview published out there in black and white for all the world to see.
I don’t think they care. The liberal media will continue to carry water for them by white washing their agenda.
Wow, that was fast. I predicted this last night
But I didn’t think it would start right away.
Sometimes, I even give myself chills…
Ah yes, the crayon candidate speaks again. As time goes on I think people are really going to tire of this juvenile campaign and the limosine liberal at it’s front.
Let’s put it this way, when 48% of the Democrat voters and at least 20% of the GOP voters vote for independent Lieberman, who do you figure wins the election in November?
Hmmmm.
Personally I prefer a water bong filled with Dos Equis. A very tasty smoke. But sans blackface please.
As I like to say to prospective partners:
“I’m only black from the waist down …”
sw: does size matter? Well yes. WTF is the matter with you?
Cotletli paKievski for me, thanks. Extra butter.
– Anna Marie likes extra butter too, but I’m pretty sure its for different reasons.
TW: Cuts down on the labor involved.
Hitler, he had just one ball
Goebbles had two, but they were small
Himmler had something sim’lar
But Goering had no balls at all.
— WWII song
SB: period
piece
WTF is Lamont doing with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton behind him?! They’re race-baiting carpetbaggers in a Connecticut Yankee’s court.
Mojo, you mixed up Goering and Goebbels.
