Getting the Government you vote for.

Furthering Cranky’s rant from yesterday, Joe Lieberman is such a freaking slimeball. He is the epitome of everything I dislike about politicians. Everything he does is for Joe. You’d think the people in Connecticut would wake up to this by now.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Democratic Party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, is leaving open the possibility of giving a keynote address on behalf of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention in September. - The Hill

Joe can do this because he has Harry Reid in his pocket. He won’t lose his chairmanships by trying to win the Whitehouse for the Republicans because Harry has said he’s got Joe’s back. All Joe does is play everybody against each other while he takes care of Joe. Some “representation”. Think this is what the founders envisioned the members of august body of the Senate would do with their time?

Thanks Connecticut. Way to vote.

Oh, and here’s an idea, how about putting Reid on a shelf and getting a real Democratic majority leader in the Senate. Oh, you know, one who is pro choice, or progressive or just not Harry Reid? Yeah, I like it too. I’m just not sure there’s a woodshed big enough to hold all the asses in DC that need whupping.
