Joe Lieberman on Sarah Palin: "Let's Assume the Best"

[zerogullibility]

@thedmundfitz Perhaps "the rich" should work for MINIMUM WAGE for a year or two....watch that minimum wage go up REGULARLY once the likes of YOU are in the situation where you have to make a living that way!

Never say never! Plenty of people were making comfortable living with jobs that suddenly evaporated. Many college graduates with lots of experience in gainful employment are now working for minimum wage.

If politicians (and millionaires) were called to combat first, we'd have fewer wars!

[phudelover]

all lieberman wants is what is best for israel.

not what is best for america.

lieberman the ultimate example of a snake.

[Loejyrrab]

@phudelover I know your comment is a yr old but i still want to praise it. It's Israel 1st, then Joe himself 2nd. He is bar none, the slimiest MF in the history of American politics. The only place I differ with ya is that to compare Lieberman to a snake is a disservice to the snake. Know what I mean? A snake has more morals!

[RatRace2011]

Deputy dog is such a loser

[Tothe2012]

Better question: "Do you think all congressmen should be subjected to term limits and public tracking of ALL activity of their offshore bank accounts?"

Lieberman LAUGHS.

[frostbitewinterwind]

[AlexTreeRat]

Wow, i could clearly see the lies between LIEberman's voice

[jenerikuser]

Lieberman FAIL

[Oofloom]

I still have the episode of the Colbert Report where they showed this clip. The audience laughed and howled in disbelief when Lieberman couldn't keep a straight face. You don't hear laughs like that often, where the audience is both amused and shocked at the same time.

I genuinely hope she runs in 2012. I want to laugh like that again too.

[chinamanmn]

palin FL rally inciting violence

"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.

[oboma8]

Joe Lieberman doesn't play the party - he says what he thinks. People respect him for that and his wisdom and intelligence. When he left the democratic party the democratics still voted him to be their senator. Smart people...and Joe Lieberman knows Sarah Palin is ready.

[ScaperSteph]

I wonder what Joe thinks of her ties to "Jews for Jesus".

[trpsoxc]

Traitor!

[exte1967]

you are poor because you dont get ass and work hard.

[WeenAndGeen]

A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for poverty.

[utube9000]

Pay attention to how Lieberman states "Ya, she'll be ready". He says it so casually-which suggests he's telling the truth.

This sheds light on something: That the President & Vice President REALLY DON'T CONTROL THE COUNTRY!

Lieberman knows that a small circle of powerful people actually run the show. They stay in power regardless of which party wins.

So when he says Palin will be ready- he means it! He knows that ANYBODY could be put into office because the ruling elite will control them.

[shimon174b]

2012 ....  Alfred E. Newman for president. I agree with everything you said.

[utube9000]

Shimon - if you haven't seen it, rent a movie called "Being There" with Peter Sellers. I think you'll find that if applies to our current situation.

[JohnLArmstrong]

Let's just assume the best. After all, what could go wrong?

You have to think positive. It worked for us in Iraq, didn't it? Just imagine it will be a "cakewalk", that they'll greet us as liberators, that the campaign will take weeks or months, that the reconstruction will pay for itself with oil revenues. Isn't that how it worked out?

[1ncubi]

Wow. That says it all right there.

[vimaxreview]

the argument that palin is more experienced than obama makes me irate it's so god damn stupid. sarah palin is a lightweight small state governor. you can use the same BS "executive experience" argument to say she also has more experience than mccain himself. it's completely intellectually dishonest to claim that palin is more experienced than obama. it's bs. palin clearly knows next to nothing about the world.

[cmangy]

Hasn't Joe ever heard that assumption is the mother of all f-ups? And he's switched to the party of constant enormous screw-ups...

[mezzcom]

Is she ready? If all we had to worry about as a country is handing out ice fishing permits, well sure. Ready to run the country? Hoping for the best Joe? Uh, that would be a resounding "NO sir!"

[SelfImmolator]

I don't understand the way Republicans seem to view the vice-presidency. Vice President means being just as qualified to be president as your running mate, in case the worst should happen. Arguing that you don't have to be as experienced if you're vice-president is stupidity... and I hear it from almost every republican all of a sudden!

[Slapnutzmalone]

He did NOT want to answer that question! Dodge, dodge, dodge... shit,'Yes, she's ready"

[pwg357]

Hahahaha.

Great job Joe. Hey that's the closest LIEberman has come to telling the truth about anything in years.

"Let's assume the best" Hahahahaha. What ringing endorsement!

In other words "Hell fucking NO."

[VanadiusRex]

Lieberman says, "Let's assume that nothing bad will happen."

Something bad has already happened, Joe!

Something bad has happened to McCain's brain. We just don't know yet exactly what.

McCain actually said in an interview, "I've watched her for many, many years." How could that be true? Obviously it isn't. His mind is going.

[travismk]

Sarah Palin is much more experienced than Obama and she is not even running for PRESIDENT. She was a mayor and a governor which means she actually was a boss of something and didnt just give speeches and vote.

[pjhawker]

Mayor (small town) and a Governor (small state), please, what a joke. GWB was a popular governor of a huge state for 5 years and has gone on to become arguably the worst POTUS in history. With your logic she would have been more prepared than Lincoln or Kennedy.

[lauria55]

Say something original, for God's sake! If she is more experienced than Obama because she was actually a "boss of something", then she is more experienced than McCain who has never been the "boss" of anything either. I know it is hard to think for yourself when GOP talking points are all you know, but surely, even the most feeble minded of you should be able to grasp that this particular talking point makes no sense at all. Ah forget it, I'm trying to talk logic to people who voted for Bush.

[DaJuno]

Of course. She was too busy firing people she didn't like, threatening librarians, proposing bridges, cancelling bridges, keeping bridge money, and giving birth on a flight from Texas to Alaska while her daughter was getting knocked up.

Anything I miss?

[quixoto]

I dunno, if you're a Republican (or, like Joe, a wolf in sheep's clothing) I think you're looking forward to something bad happening. Public opinion points to the idea that any kind of foreign crisis or terrorist attack helps the McCain in this race.

Yeah, I'll hope for the best, Joe. You hope for the worst, you smarmy rat-faced asshole.

[recordingautist]

According to the social security administration's stats, McCain has about a 15% chance of croaking during his first term. But yes, let's just assume the best.

[bvdon]

Andrea Mitchell.... what a C*NT.... she was shaking her head in disgust at Lieberman at the end of the interview... MSNBC are the most unprofessional political hacks I've ever seen on TV.

[Nilguiri]

So why bother to have any contingency plans for anything? Let's assume the best - nothing bad will happen!

There is no need for government, police, military, hospitals, etc! Just let things sort themselves out, everything will be fine - why shouldn't it be?

What a cop out!

Keep it coming America! This week has been so entertaining! Who needs comedy when you've got American politics!!???

I wouldn't say that you are the laughing stock of the world, but.... well, actually, yes I would.

[ptp44444]

I have confidence in Sarah Palin.

Good job Tuesday evening, Joe.
