Once again, I call upon all Americans (or at least TPMers) to join me in a cause on which I think we can mostly find common ground. And that is to yell a hearty, "FUCK YOU, JOE!!!"

Two words for ya. Cigna (Bloomfield, CT) and Aetna (Hartford).
Nutmeg Staters were dumb enough to re-elect this guy over Ned Lamont, now we're all stuck with him until 2012!

Fuck you, Joe.

I emailed and faxed his office today already....not that it matters, I've only been his constituent for my entire life.

What they said, and a big KMFA to Dear Hadassah, and all her Big Health friends, too.

Democrats preferred Ned Lamont in the primary. Just who was it who went to the polls to elect this guy???!!! Sheesh!

He IS in terrible shape! He is untrustworthy - even to his friends. He's an opportunist, who took Democratic money, balleyhoo, and support running for VP, then turns around and lives off McCain's money as he travels the country with him. He pretends to be religious, yet forgets the words of Hillel,"how you want to be treated, you should treat everybody." In Joe's private worship, that translates to, "support them making the biggest bucks so they can support you." And did I mention loyalty? Anyone who trusts this jerk will find him selling their mother! Congrats Connecticut!

Be careful what you ask for:

"What I was struck by was that not many people were paying attention to him," said Leo Canty, chairman of the Democratic town committee in Windsor, which passed a resolution in February opposing Senator Lieberman's support for the war. "It used to be that he would be more of a presence when he came in."

A few minutes later, however, the audience was riveted as Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, the guest speaker at the $175-a-plate dinner, stood on the podium and began the customary round of recognition of candidates and incumbents in the room. When he got to Mr. Lieberman, who is his mentor in the Senate and who helped recruit him to speak at the event, the applause again was muted.

"I know that some in the party have differences with Joe," Senator Obama said, all but silencing the crowd. "I'm going to go ahead and say it. It's the elephant in the room. And Joe and I don't agree on everything. But what I know is, Joe Lieberman's a man with a good heart, with a keen intellect, who cares about the working families of America."

Then, with applause beginning to build, he finished the thought: "I am absolutely certain that Connecticut's going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate."

That time, people cheered loudly."
