Joe Lieberman Gets Slap on The Wrist

[mstaff657]

This Nation needs to open all sealed documents relating to the JFK Assassination.

What are the Kennedy's afraid of ?

[UFOscience]

brainwashed?

[tifjoking]

I voted for Obama, but I really respect him now that he backed Joe Lieberman!

[tifjoking]

I love you Joe Lieberman. I watched your Homeland Security Committee Meeting the other day on the internet. . .you looked gooooooddd! I want you baby ;P

[JayJayhope]

Joe L is not a democrat,he joined & runs as an Independant. This way he does not have to play footies. He knew what he was doing when he went with his conscience & refused to support Obama. He did not want to loose his chairmanship, but was man enough to take the loss if it came to that. he's a brilliant man, does anyone think he did not know the odds? BHO had the main stream media covering for him (4 have admiited/bragged about it so far,now) and Acorn doing thier usual dirty tricks. Brave man.

[bak2umauritius22]

The Israelis keep their mole.

[Blackrook32]

The only reason the DNC "Forgave and Forgot"? Because, they need that Yenta's Senate seat. The DNC is consolidating and this smarmy snake is just a Pawn. President-Elect Obama did well without his support I think...

[gazzatoon]

Who's the babe right behind him? I bet some of the Senators are banging her good, with Viagra's help :-)

[SmoothDemocrat]

This is total BS....remove Liberman from his chair...carajo.

[fuckthatlemursass]

He kept repeating himself..and you know what they say about people that do that...

blowjob under the podium...

[EzrinJem2]

The reason Joe Lieberman (a.k.a. Disney's Jiminy Cricket) got away with only a slap on the wrists is because he is a member of "The Tribe." Plain and simple!

[enviops]

Punishment fits the crime. Liebermann's rants during the campaign never hurt Obama.

[Seastorm21]

They should have spiked this cry baby chump into the ground for good.

[almartino1]

The honourable thing that Lieberman could have done was to resign the chairmanship.

[alwaysdoright]

Who cares about Lieberman? He's just a tiny distraction when considering the incredible problems the United States is facing now. Obama just flicked Joe off like a flea. The American people will vote Lieberman out of public life soon enough.

[grazzellian]

Once a traitor, always a traitor. I don't know whether to refer to this turn-coat as Joe the Loser, Joe the Traitor or Joe the Judas. But he has gone done in history as the one man who fought valiantly for himself and lost repeatedly, while struggling to destroy the other guy.

[redsox28282828]

A prime example of the party of tolerance here, arent we?

What happened to unity? Do liberals only want unity if it is right wingers coming towards the left?

[grazzellian]

Does Joe the Traitor believe that he deserves the forgiveness, inclusion & magnanimity shown by the Democrats? He should apologize to all Democrats, & particularly, a personal apology to President-elect Obama. Joe loser Lieberman; had the boot been on the other foot, would you have shown the same sophistication, class, grace & magnanimity that the Democrats have shown you? To me, this is too early to determine if he has renounced his treacherous statements. He should be put to grass for a while.

[Signal337]

Talking about "Butterbrains". This man Joe Lieberman could of cost many Americans, seeking change, their Economic & political Freedom. It took 8 years to destroy the Economic Opportunities many Americans once enjoyed. Lieberman deserve to get a Big Political Butt whipping by the Democratic Party. This election could of went the other way, thanks to Lieberman. I see no difference between a Conservative Republican than a Reagan Conservative Democrat.

[WinterHaven]

Obama wants to unify the parties. That's what we need to do. Get over the election shit. It's over. Obama won.

[WinterHaven]

Actually it was a good decision. If ousted-it would bring Republicans more power. Even Barack Obama says leave him alone. YOu have to remember he is an Independant. Obama won. So who gives a fuck about the election. Get over it. Get on with business.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Lieberman is Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY!

[oppesdaman]

No matter what decision the Dems make, Lieberman's credibility and political career is over.

[07proff]

Sorta like Barryboys will be when all the investigations are over, Buhhhh Byyee Barryboy!

[oppesdaman]

Exactly what investigations are you referring to?

[jak4073]

They should have made him beg!!!

[whatiskungfan]

The Democratic Leadership Council continues to be the centralized power space within Democrats, even Obama has to approach this group of Senators.

But Reid had just bought himself a filibuster proof majority with a chairmanship.

[gulgul2006]

Hmmm. Let's see... so you say you are a crack addict and you need more crack to fix your addiction? OKAY!! What's the deal? If these worthless CEOs have driven the auto companies into the ground, MORE MONEY is not the solution!! How about LESS CEO and MORE SOLUTION to the problem. Fix the leaking faucet, don't just go get more water... FUCK I want to move to europe.. it's smaller and has less walmarts but SHIT it's way smarter...

[sauerkreatur]

this is really funny ...

us-politrix is a joke...

[WashMitt]

Joe Lieberman is an AIPAC traitor.

[jortizz]

Yayyy...The great state of Israel now has their Senator working hard for them.

Maybe now, in the spirit of bipartisanship, both Democrats and Republicans can work hard to destroy what little this country has left.

[wntoply6]

i agree with reid. as much as i disdain lieberman, i say bury the past and let's get on with the future of this country.

there are more problems that are of importance than the disgraced junior senator of connecticut.

he'll get his due in 4 years when he's thrown out of office by the good people of his state.

there is so much ranchor in his state about him, if he survives that election it will be a miracle of epic porportions.

[PersonalJesus348]

disgusting

[milesian2005]

spineless

[Causa10bserver]

Lol, he asked the republicans not to abuse the fillibuster like the democrats did when they were out of power. They probably won't, but he'd deserve it if they do.

[lamouchemorte]

Yeah I think this is a reflection of how much change will really come after Obama takes over. Politics as usual.

[Nilanius]

actually this is a sign of change. A republican congress that had their own lieberman, would of put his head on a pike. The fact is, Obama's presidency is not about party lines. There are no republicans, or democrats, but instead the united states of america. It's about reconciliation not retribution. It's about working with everyone to repair america from the Bush years. So all I can say is wait, watch and see.

[lamouchemorte]

I hope for the sake of the country that you are right.

[zapponsalvia]

Die Traitorous Scum.

[silverandblack68]

horrrible!

[ekongkar2000]

Scumbag Lieberman deserves to be kicked out of all politics...what a creep.

[iamthejake2000]

fuckin little rodent

[burntonion05]

Droopy dog needs to go

[SquallCloud]

I'm not watching this whole fucking thing, but of course the dems roll over. If I could combine the ballsy aggresiveness (not the bullheadedness though) of the republican party with the ostensible 'for the people' stance of the democrats and maybe tilt them just a scoche more to the left, I'd have a party I could get behind. Get Cenk Yugar to replace Reid and/or Palosi. Yeesh!

[acushla712]

Cool! Finally Reid did something DECENT. I didn't know he had it in him. Sen. Lieberman is a good and decent man. Did you get a look at that IDIOT Schumer bopping all over the place, trying to be sure he was in the picture all the time? What a mealy-mouthed, old Marxist he is! He and his big mouth were BOTH complicit in the disaster now known as the "$700 billion bail-out/blunder." Schumer and his big mouth are like 2 separate entities with disgusting lives of their own; they're BOTH losers!

[rakrobn]

Harry Reid and Pelosi should be replaced. They have no balls to stand up to anybody.

[ianappleh45]

Lieberman looks like Emperor from Star Wars

[SabuPtolemy]

This is f'n DISGUSTING!

LIEberman is nothing but a festering cancer and a backstabber, and Harry Reid is another spineless mor(m)on who should be removed for the sake of the Democratic Party.

Epic fail indeed.

[iamthejake2000]

absolutely

[pyrrho314]

"my prepared speech at the Republican Convention was just said in the heat of the moment!" "I'm neither wrong nor did I mispeak! I may have mispoke, but maybe not."

[pyrrho314]

what a suprise?!!!?!?  I'm so shocked.

I'm sure Joe was soooo nervous about this. After they stripped him of his power in 2006 and all....

And I'm sure that Joe now will have only positive contributions to make and only nice things to say about the president we now have whom he thinks is dangerously innexperienced, but will of course not say, imply, or work to thwart.

[Spective10]

Harry Reid is WORTHLESS!

[Spective10]

Democrats are impossible. Get rid of Lieberman AND Reid!

[megs97216]

What crap! Lieberman is not a democrat...he is a trader!

[Karma2Die4]

I can not believe that the Democrats has decided to keep this worm on the job. We need to be unified? LIEberman was the one who refused to be unified with the Democratic Party and the very idea the NUTless Democrats would not step up to the plate and bring LIEberman to task is a joke. LIEberman is a snake, he jumps from one party to the next to improve his chances of becoming either VP or President...You may trust hime Reid, however, I do NOT...Shame on you Democrats!

[mullingitover]

EPIC FAIL. I didn't donate a dollar to Obama's campaign, and thanks to this I don't feel a shred of guilt about it.

[nbwulf]

Not surprised at all...

[Plecter]

:,(

[alnewberry]

So in other words, behind closed doors Lieberman reminded each member of all the dirt he has on them which could surely be damaging to them if he opened his mouth.

[jaim12005]

YUP

[AhTrini4U]

The senate Democrats have always been wusses, that's the reason I became a registered Independent in 2005. They caved in when the hypocritical party wanted to intervene in the Terri Shiavo case. I am ashamed to call it 'my' party. But, the voters in CT will have the last laugh. Lieberman knows the next 4 yrs will be his last, so be better savor it. i will contribute all I can to kick his ass out of congress, because unlike President-Elect Obama, I am no christian, and I keep grudges.

[TheoIsTheGreatest]

It's not personally satisfying, but it is politically so. It humiliates Holy Joe; makes the likelihood of him ever getting squirrely again small - and if he does, the Dems can say he was warned and truly drop the hammer.

Unquestionably, the voters will kick him out on his ass in 2012; until then, he'll be a virtual nonentity.

[10pigdog6]

God damn sumbitch! Harry Reid, do you even have one ball?

The arguments for keeping Lieberman at his chairmanship are bogus. He's a scumbag and a rat. Unbelievable.

Is he going to say if he thinks Barack is a Marxist or not? I think that should be cleared up.

[GodKillerAtheist]

Lieberman needs to get his ass kicked

[kcp12304]

The Senate was made to be elitist...oh well looks like I'll be voting against him (I'm from CT)

[dbarn671]

this is crap.

[keithwhitmer]

Joe Lieberman is a democrat??? Did I hear that correctly???? Is that what Reid said??

[shaundraivy]

So, let's see: Lieberman not only supported the Republican, but publicly trashed the Democratic nominee and campaigned for down-ticket Republicans as well. In punishment for this, he keeps the Chairmanship of a committee on which he was completely ineffective, but loses the seat on the sub-committee where he actually did pretty good work.

The democrats and Lieberman have also kicked in the teeth those of us who also worked for Gore/Lieberman. I am ticked!

[themelkman]

spineless.

[y2raza]

Lieberman, Emanuel, Clinton = No Mideast solution!

[srhabb]

Didnt Lieberman break laws?  What is going on?

[prideventures]

the velociraptor gets away.....LOL

[Gamingtrevor]

Bullshit...

[deuxhardboiledeggs]

Harry Reid is two timing cocksucking son of a BITCH

[OregonPolitics]

Democrats FAIL! They continue to pile on evidence of their weakness. They had a chance to demonstrate their power without even attacking the Republicans. REID - DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A SCAPEGOAT? The scapegoat is expelled in a time of crisis to demonstrate the power of the rulers and to distract from real issues. If a Republican had done what Joe L. did, his mistress would have been outed and he would have been indicted.

[toribaltimore]

SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU...

* $25B a month IRAQ WAR... Duh!?! Economic Crisis? Who knew?

* Being Hijacked by the BIG THREE - "Give us some of that $700B or we kill these American Dreams..."

* Love the FETUS, Hate the Kid...

* Terri "RETARD" Schiavo had more republican attention that Hurricane "Fucking" Katrina

* Lieberman - A FUCKING ISRAELI PAWN...

* Support the troops, hate the vets

FUCK REPLUBLICANS!!! Saving CEOs when they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire!

[ouchmysixpack]

paticuly

[GlobalSufi]

Reid, I am going to move to your state and vote AGAINST you!

You are an appeasing asshole, and LIEberman has just sunk his cock into your deep, fat ass.

[saucy05]

As much as we might have wanted the Democrats to strip him of his chairmanship, i think it was a good move to keep him.

1) It sends a message that both the senate and the president elect are not here to divide, but instead to unite.

2) The 60 senate seat is still not out of the question, so letting him stay keeps the hope alive.

3) It's a form of punishment for Lieberman. Now every time he's being interviewed, he will apologize and kiss Obama's ass until he gets booted in 2012.

[deuxhardboiledeggs]

If we hit 59 seats, it will make Lieberman extremely powerful for the next four years, you ready for that?

[milesian2005]

nonsense, it sends a statement that it's politics as usual.

quit the slimy rationalizing and grow a damn spine.

[GlobalSufi]

Reid just proved to the entire world that he loves to suck cock. He really loves to "put this behind us"... talking about LIE berman's cock.

[Michigan1985]

I guess this just shows that republicans and democrats love their gay butt sex. Kick them both out of washington.

[toribaltimore]

And what's with all of you NeoCon insurgents... go home!

Your guy lost by 203 EVs, and the country will be better off for it.

Maybe, you'll learn that your F-150 and Dodge Ram pickup trucks were being made in Mexico, and that you've been duped by the very people whose money you've been trying to protect... Corporate CEOs. And they're now hijacking the country...

"Give us some of that bailout money, or we'll layoff all of these dumb fucks, i.e. "hard working Americans."

OPEN THEM!

[kalane]

i just have this sinking feeling that lieberman is going to stab obama & the rest of the dems in the back

[tavadon777]

:( me too

[deuxhardboiledeggs]

of course he will. there's something absolutely fishy about this. there's a reason they had a secret vote.

[rabitguy]

Democrats are the true soul of America. In order for America regain it's standing as the true beacon of justice in the world, it needs to show that it can treat even America's own worst villians with respect and fairness, and that includes terrorists, Joseph Lieberman, and even the traitorous republican party.

[milesian2005]

true beacon of bullshit and slimy spineless greed driven idiots.

[rabitguy]

"true beacon of bullshit and slimy spineless greed driven idiots."

Not smart.  No college diploma for you.

[toribaltimore]

Cute!

He was supporting Senator McCain because the Jews in Israel love NeoCons, i.e. Evangelical Christians. But not love in that "touchy feely" sense, but out of manipulation...

Barack Obama would want to negotiate with the Palestinians, which would jeopardize their dominance. FEAR

Pssst... NeoCons, Israelis mock the absolute fucking shit out of you when you're not looking. They think you're a bunch of nuts, and they don't believe Jesus is the Messiah.

DOH!!!

FACTS!!!

[y2raza]

what makes u think "Barack Obama would want to negotiate with the Palestinians" have u checked Rahm Eamnuel's RESUME???

[y2raza]

EMANUEL

[toribaltimore]

Because he fucking said so, and I believe him. Fuck Israel! Not One (1, UNO) AMERICAN SOLDIER'S LIFE IS WORTH SAVING ISRAEL. That's their fucking problem!

I don't have the special, special, especially special, special technologies that you have access; whereby, you can conduct special, special, especially special, special background investigations on public officials.

Fuck Emanuel, too.

AMERICAN IDIOTS!!! I'm tired of the world seeing us a FUCKING BULLIES!!!

FUCK ISRAEL!!!

[y2raza]

do all of u partisan hacks understand that DEMS do not have a 60 vote filibuster proof majority, how do u ignoramuses are planing to get any thing done without enough votes can u please explain?? ok lets see we had NAD LAMONT who ended up creating this mess to start with, the loss of his candidacy should have made all of u realize that hard left does not sell!! but it seems like all of who are frothing more the mouth are as ignorant as Right wing nuts!!

[deuxhardboiledeggs]

the only hack is you, fucking spineless piece of SHIT

[y2raza]

fuck you, you dumb fuck, your candidate was NAD LAMONT & he was rejected by the people of CT, rather than understanding that fact, you want the DEMS to derail themselves into the situation, in which they have been stuck for past 2 years, have u checked the congressional ratings lately, Obama could not get any thing done

[superc]

BUSH = Reid = Pelosi = LIEberman. PEOPLE DON'T BE BLINDED BY PARTY LINES!

[biggerflexible]

I think the Democrats made the right decision, I wanted Lieberman's head but I'm also a fan a martial law lol.

[YukiIsoya08]

I'm just hoping he doesn't stab the democratic party in the back.

[lamouchemorte]

I think he already did.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Seriously, was there ever any doubt? Most of the Democrats in the Senate are extremely conservative and are closer to Joe Lieberman and the Republicans on defense issues than they are to the people who vote for them. Wake up people- THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK. THEY ARE ELITES CONCERNED ABOUT ELITES.

[crispiva1]

Simply disgusting!

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Harry Reid is such a pile of shit. The Senate Dems are going to sabotage President Obama and his agenda- just wait and see.

[SamariaTV]

Contact your congressperson to speak out.

[officialusa]

I am wondering how these democratic leaders can stand up straight without spines.

[WKaliber1]

send him to Siberia

[Bosco239]

Why do they want to keep him?

[Clockworkforest]

Politics, ha! :/

[Euranell]

They're all crooks
