Joe Lieberman: I Want To Be Number Two



In the latest in our on-going series of possible vice presidential candidates, today: Joe Lieberman. He's been attached to John McCain at his (still unbroken, knock on wood) hip, and, as Walter Shapiro wrote in Salon this week, "it is not hard to pick up Republican whispers that the wild-card Lieberman speculation is grounded in reality rather than water-cooler fantasy."

Sure, he used to be a Democrat, but on the other hand he is willing to say anything, and next to John McCain, he's almost charismatic. Plus, in the GOP's southern base, his religion is less despised than Mitt Romney's.

1. Good luck hoping that republicans will have a non-christian on their ticket.

[KittyWampus]

29. He's part of The Fellowship, though. Jews who don't mind hanging with people waiting for the Rapture

The freaks would probably think it was a sign of End-times.

[BlooInBloo]

31. What Jewish folks mind or don't mind is quite beside the point here.

[Duke Newcombe]

2. He is...

I saw so after I McCain'd (number one'd) this morning...it definitely bore a great resemblance to Lieberman.

Duke

[polichick]

3. He already is "number two" - so to speak. :)

[Liberal Veteran]

19. That was my thought too. I really didn't think you stack shit as high as LIEberman.

[Raine]

32. That's EXACTLY what I was thinking

:evilgrin:

[meow2u3]

35. We just need to flush'em down

And don't forget the plunger. :evilgrin:

[Behind the Aegis]

4. Disgusting.

:thumbsdown:

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Would republicans accept Joe as a replacement if Johnny Mac drops out?

[TBF]

28. Heh, That'll be the day. The republican base is already pissed off about

McCain. The last thing they want (well, besides Romney) is Joe Lieberman. It's not going to happen. They want a younger christian. I wouldn't be surprised if they dumped McCain for Hucklebee.

[NJmaverick]

6. I can't wait until the Dems have a solid Senate majority and they

can punish traitor Joe

[salguine]

7. Oh, silly Joe! You've been number two all along! A big,

clammy, steaming pile of number two!

[krispos42]

8. That much silver hair and pasty white flesh would overload the cameras

Lens flare! Lens flare! Quick, get a polarizing filter!

[TheDonkey]

9. RUN JOE RUN!!!

nail meet McSame's political coffin.

[quaker bill]

10. I think McSame

could use the "Joementum". It worked so well in 2004.

[BrotherBuzz]

11. Celebrity look-a-like is more like an aging Danny Bonaduce....

another class A loser

[SoCalDem]

12. He already IS #2... It would take Imodium Formula 4000 to blast him out of McCain's ass..

[Cha]

13. There's so much shit on weasley lieman...

the right to lifers will bury his a$$ for one group. And, if he says he doesn't believe that anymore then the flip-flop brigade will have boxed his bloody warmongering a$$ in.

[eShirl]

14. I know when I see Joe Liebermann, #2 is exactly what comes to mind

[napi21]

15. I can see it now...THE OLD MAN'S TICKET! I don't think even McNuts is

crazy enough to do THAT!

[Jazzgirl]

16. Does that mean....

Joe wants to be a turd? :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[rocktivity]

17. For which party?

:eyes:
rocknation

[anonymous171]

18. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[RoyGBiv]

20. "...next to John McCain, he's almost charismatic..."

:spray:

:rofl:

Run, Joe, run.

[lyonn]

21. Thanks, that was too effin funny!

BUT, he would certainly make a better Sec. of State or Defense. He'd love his own army! Sec of State cause he is so smart in world affairs or so he thinks. It's hard to tell who is the most smug about their brilliance, McCain or Lieberman.

[skids]

22. How fitting he's a Pisces...

...this being the end of Pisces/dawning of Aquarius and whatnot...

[11 Bravo]

27. So he's actually a Pisces AND a feces.

[Faygo Kid]

23. Joe Lieberman is a living coprolite.

Sorry waste of flesh.

A definite turd. He has gotten his wish.

[tanyev]

24. "Has already helped the Republicans win one presidential race"

:rofl:

[newmajority]

25. This could be history in the making

Joe could be the first man in history to lose the vice presidency twice in two different parties.

And yes, Gore won 2000. But LIEberman lost when he insisted that the non-postmarked (and likely forged) "overseas military ballots" be counted for Chimpy.

[Sherman A1]

26. Excellent!

Then he can lose twice with two different parties.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. 'numbers twos' is a code name for something one does in the bathroom

fits Joe perfectly

[whistle]

33. How about number zero Joe?

[Gore1FL]

34. I hate it when number 2 runs....

[Swamp Rat]

36. Droopy

:D

[Stephanie]

37. But Joe, you already are! >
