Jane Hamsher: "attack chihuahua."

For those lacking a hippocampus, this croaking jerkus was Al Gore's running mate in 2000.

[Cant trust em]

1. What a toad.

Thank god he is not one of our super delegates anymore.

[stimbox]

2. Looking forward to a bigger majority in the Senate so LIEberman can be kicked to the curb. n/t

[fascisthunter]

3. I Actually Know Somebody Who Dated That Weasel

She said he was lacking in more than one area.....

[Hulk]

19. I'd be ashamed to even admit that....

Just kidding of course, but he is the slimiest weasel in politics today. Just to listen to his syrupy voice is enough to make me want to smack him. Of course, once he starts talking, there are plenty of other reasons to hate the guy.

liverwurst is a pathetic excuse for a politician. Glad he doesn't represent me.

[Gato Moteado]

35. was that while he was married?

nt

[fascisthunter]

36. Nope.... When he was in College I Believe

He was definitely not married at the time.

[Gato Moteado]

40. too bad!

it would have been cool to nail him with a scandal.

[Lennon]

4. This croaking jerkus was Al Gore's running mate in 2000

Why the hell did Al Gore choose this asshole as a running mate?

:crazy:

[wildbilln864]

5. Very good question Lennon!

Welcome to DU by the way. :hi:

[phillyliberal]

6. ha

he thought he would be a good source to tap the Jewish vote.. I can't stand this guy

[balantz]

7. Perhaps Gore was pushed in that direction.

Maybe at the time Lieberman wasn't obviously the snake he has turned out to be.

I'm not educated about any of this, but willing to give Mr. Gore benefit of doubt that maybe Lieberman was part of a plan to keep him out of the White House.

[sce56]

15. I belive it was soneone pushed him into it and as I have said before if they did not steal the oval

office in 2000 we would have wound up with President Lieberman on 9-11-01! I believe they would have taken out Al and look who would have replaced him! Scary thought isn't it?

[balantz]

16. Interesting.

I hadn't taken it that far. Set Gore up to be in a bad spot on 9/11. Makes sense.

How easy it is for many to blame Gore solely for that maneuver. These things are planned meticulously and we don't know the details of how they come about. One way or the other the fascists were prepared to make their big grab that they had plotted for quite awhile I'm sure.

[sce56]

17. And we would have had the same thing we almost had in 1981 when VP Bush almost got lucky when Raygun

almost bought it. The assassin was a son of a Bush family friend contact or something like that! When you succeed a President that way that term does not count for the 2 terms you can be elected into! Bush could of had two and three quarter terms if Hinckley had succeeded!

[balantz]

21. Yes, I've heard before the theory that 9/11 was initially meant

to be a decade earlier had Raygun's assassination been successful.

[Politicalboi]

30. Yes and wasn't it

Strange that the Bush family were friends of the Hinckley family for 20 years. I also heard the John Lennon's assassin Mark David Chapman lived on some Island doing work for the Hinckley family.

[NJSecularist]

25. No, Gore chose Lieberman on his own.

It was all Gore. Gore had a choice between Lieberman and Kerry and he chose Lieberman.

[Liberal Gramma]

8. For the Jewish vote in Florida

Worked real well, didn't it?

[NJSecularist]

I hate Lieberman's guts, but yes, it did work out really well.

We had no business winning that state. Gore and Lieberman ran a first class campaign in Florida in the final weeks before the election. It's a credit to Al Gore's campaign that we came that close to winning the state and should have won it in 2000 if it wasn't for the butterfly ballots and Katherine Harris.

Listen, I think Lieberman's a piece of shit, but he did help alot in Florida in 2000.

[Liberal Gramma]

37. I meant that we lost Florida anyway

not fairly, but we lost.

[NJSecularist]

38. But we would have won if the votes were counted fairly

And we weren't in that position in the last few weeks of the 2000 election. It's a credit to Lieberman and Gore's campaign in Florida in 2000 during the final weeks that we came close and should have won.

[Liberal Gramma]

39. Yes, you're right, of course

If the votes had been counted fairly we'd be finishing the last year of Gore's term

[ryanmuegge]

22. Trying to balance the ticket with right-wing credentials.

In other words, being a lame, sell-out bitch.

[xxqqqzme]

23. A question asked by every democrat I know.

The dlc insisted on lieberman & Donna B agreed.

[NJSecularist]

26. Wrong. Al Gore chose him and the rest of his advisors including Shrum and Brazille liked the pick

at the time.

[Eric Condon]

28. Because Liberman was the Democrat who came down hardest on Clinton during the Lewinsky deal.

I think it's as simple as that. He was trying to distance himself from Clinton. Unfortunately, that meant associating with just about the only Democrat further removed from Democratic ideals than Clinton.

My feeling, however, is that at least on the face of it, Lieberman didn't seem like SUCH an awful choice back then. Sure, he was a centrist, but I don't think anyone pegged him for the actual GOP shill he is now.

[DeeDeeNY]

33. Exactly right on all counts nt

[Voice for Peace]

9. agh vomit

[Jack Rabbit]

10. Is this supposed to be a surprise?

What is surprising is that Lieberman hasn't been made a regular commentator for FoxNews. He's part of the GOP propaganda machine in every other way.

[mitchtv]

11. Didn't Obama support him in the primary?

no good deed is left unpunished.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Fuck you, asshole!

And I'm glad I voted for Nader in 2000, and never sullied myself voting for that shithead.

I still don't know what Al Gore was thinking.

[bookman]

13. Gee thanks..

..for making watch Fox. :)

What an ass he is!

18. Al Qaida in Iran would be in charge?

Lieberman really makes by blood boil. He should really do something about those jowls.

[blackspade]

31. I caught that too.

The 'attack Iran' mem is out of hand!

[singilarpoint]

20. %%

If I had a wooden nickel for every lie and distortion in this interview I could retire forever. These people are sick and disgusting. But the good news is Obama has them doing shite in their pants. I love to watch them squirm..!!! Go Obama, keep them squirming...

[still_one]

24. friends, all the Democrats need to do is win Congress big, and then

lieberman becomes irrelevent

[daveskilt]

27. douche

[bow-tie]

29. I wonder how many

votes Al would've got w/o this asshole as a VP? Too many to steal? Between him and Nabob.

[Matteon]

32. Wow

He actually sai "al qaeda in Iran"

Are you fucking kidding me?

[susankh4]

34. I hate to say it...

but his responses are measured and thoughtful. He will hit home with at least 75% of Americans. Our candidates had better come up with some better allegations against Mr. McCain than "he mixed up the Sunni and the Shiites" (misspoke about them) or we are gonna have Mr. Leiberman in a cabinet position in 2009.
