The Senator with the Warmest Nose
by Jerome Doolittle | Jun 10 2007


Joe Lieberman finally and totally jumped the shark on Face the Nation today, calling for war on Iran.

Any such catastrophically idiotic attack would of course constitute an unlawful act of war. But by now the dimmest among us must know Bush’s opinion of the law, which is that he is it.

Ken Bode, following an earlier (2005) washing of Lieberman’s brain in Iraq, wrote this:

(Eugene) McCarthy won no popularity contests among modern politicians, and with penetrating wit he returned their affection. Garrison Keillor wrote a warm eulogy to his fellow Minnesotan, including this McCarthy observation: “One thing about a pig. He thinks he’s warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one’s nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.”


The senator with the warmest nose in Washington today is Joe Lieberman.

A wonderful image, isn’t it? We have suffered through till January of 2008 and there they are out in the cold at last, that whole wonderful gang that brought you war in our time.

All of them, Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, Gonzales, Yoo, Tenet, Libby, Rice, Ashcroft, Rove, Lieberman, and thousands of other warhogs, snouts frozen to rectums in one gigantic rosette stretching from the Capitol to the Lincoln Monument.

“He’s smiling,” a small boy suddenly cries. “Look! Old Abe is smiling.”

2. From what I understand, CT has no provisions to recall an elected official.
I despise Lieberman. Any CT Democrat who voted for him should be ashamed.

3. He is advocating policies that would hurt the US but would assist...
...'other' countries, at least in the opinion of some in that 'other' country.

4. Fine. Let the "other country" pay my taxes - it is the least they can do
since they are stealing my vote.
