"I am a traditionalist. If the president ever calls, you'd have to consider it. But I am very happy to be in the Senate."

1. Don't forget Zell

surely there is a way to reward him too.

[Oreo]

2. That'd be one way

to further shift the balance of the senate to the right

3. Good Riddance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pirate Smile]

5. At least it is Connecticut where we could hopefully win the open set. Is

the Gov a Repub?

13. Jodi Rell -- she's a Republican (though fairly moderate)

However, the seat is up for re-election in '06.

Hell, I'd be *happy* if Lieberman left the Senate. Then I could vote for a real Democrat.

4. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh shit I've wet my pants.

6. Lieberman snaps up a chance to doff his cap to Bush. Again.

Why say he has to consider a job just because Bush asks it? Lieberman has bought into the Cult of Dear Leader entirely. What an idiot.

Here's my tradition. Turn down any opportunity to associate yourself with a train wreck, and stop putting Bush on a pedestal.

7. Lmao

Figures, LIEberman has this love affair with Chimpy. :loveya:

8. Go for it, Joe

Some of us always knew what you were. Time for the rest to find out.

Ever since he gave that speech excoriating Clinton over Lewinsky I have detested that smarmy, sanctimonious, squealing righteous prig.

Lieberman, get the fuck out of my party.

9. Good Riddance

take the job Joe.

10. Shocking

considering who he hangs with.

11. Why am I not surprised

I never liked him anyway.

[madinmaryland]

12. Don't forget that Connecticut has a Repub Governor

Even though Rowland is gone, I don't know who Jodi Rell would appoint. My guess is that she would lean towards Shays. That would be one less seat. IMO as bad as Lieberman is, he would still at least be partially on the democrats side. Shays would be a definate on the repug side.

14. which would be a further slap if Lieberman actually did go for

a cabinet post. My feeling is that he won't.

[Miami Liberal]

16. We knew he was a freeper all along

[leesa]

17. Why not. He's a Republican in good standing

How did he pry his lips from Bushes butt long enough to answer?
