How about appointing Lieberman to something?

[Touchdown]

Like say... ambassador to Guyana. The Ct. Gov. appoints a new senator (If Ned Lamont still wants it, cool!). Then after the new Senator is all set up and sworn in, Obama fires Lieberman and sends him packing from Washington forever!!!

It could happen.:shrug:

[mcctatas]

1. Better yet...

ambassador to Iraq!

[SoCalNative]

2. I'm sure they coiuld use another janitor

for the senate office building

[kentuck]

3. Ambassador to Iraq?

They need someone that cares so much about "democracy"...

[Touchdown]

6. Too much "Partisan Rancoooor!" in Iraaaaaq

With the Sunnis and Shia. he'd never take it.

[Ken Burch]

4. The Connecticut governor is a Republican. She'd appoint one of theirs.

Part of what has to happen involves taking back the Ct. governors office in 2010.

Or do an initiative petition to require Senate vacancies in Connecticut to be filled via immediate special election.

Without either of those, it doesn't do us any good for Joe to resign his seat.

[Touchdown]

7. Well, shit! There goes my plan.

Anybody else have any ideas?:shrug:

[ColbertWatcher]

12. Isn't Connecticut one of those states ...

... where the governor has to appoint someone from the same party?

[hfojvt]

26. What is the matter with Connecticut??!

At least Kansas has a Democratic Governor.

[Tiggeroshii]

5. is the ct gov a dem?

[lapfog_1]

8. How about we simply make up some charges

and ship his ass to Gitmo for interrogation?

Seems like there ought to be SOME good to come from the Patriot Acts and Military Commission Act, etc.

[Ken Burch]

13. well, he is a religious extremist who's used violence to achieve his objectives.

n/t.

9. Someone on DU suggested earlier today that LIEberman be appointed Ambassador to Israel.

Personally I'd rather he be appointed as Ambassador to Dumbfuckistan.

[HopeFor2006]

10. Head of trash collection in DC?

:shrug:

[bluedawg12]

11. Howdy Doodey

[Dogmudgeon]

14. A long-term, anti-Lieberman effort is needed

Complaining about him on DU is all well and good, but we need to assemble a political force to eliminate him from contention in the next applicable primary or election. We failed last time, but with four years ahead of us, we can destroy his political power base.

It's going to be very tough for the Senate Democratic leadership to kick him out or demote him without doing damage to the party. And besides, that should be OUR job. (Kicking out Lieberman, not doing damage to the party.)

This could be one part of a program to target and remove Democrats who are hurting the party. Not the Democrats who may not follow our every whim -- that's ALL of them! -- but the real bad apples. It may only be five or six legislators all together, but it's probably do-able even with a small staff and a modest budget.

15. Maybe he can serve as the official troll

under the bridge to nowwhere in Alaska.

[The Shadow]

16. How About "Plumber" For The Republican Shithouse?

They are so full of crap there must be a serious need to keep their toilets unclogged. Remember too, now that the original Joe the plumber's 15 minutes is up, we will need to find a replacement. And hey! Lieberman's first name is Joe after all, so we won't have to change the business cards and stationary.

[JDPriestly]

17. Ambassador to Syria would be better.

And Sarah Palin should be named ambassador to Chad.

[Touchdown]

18. Chad? How about Truck Island? It sounds like her kids.n/t

[sam sarrha]

19. he already has a job... #1 Turd Polisher for the Rethuglican Party

[TexasObserver]

20. Sure. Ambassador to Go Fuck Yourself, Joe!

[Bobbie Jo]

21. How about Hall Monitor.?

:eyes:

[orleans]

22. i was thinking about appointing him ambassador to someplace just

to fucking get him out of the way.

[SoCalDem]

23. Secretary of Dog Poo... someone's gonna have to clean up after the girls' doggie

:)

[silverojo]

24. Let's appoint him to be "Joe The Plumber"

I'd love to see him cleaning backed-up shit out of toilets.

[hfojvt]

25. that's why

I suggested he be made Secretary of State.

to repeat one of my favorite scenes from "Independence Day"

Nimzicki: I know you are still upset over the death of your wife, but that's no reason for making another huge mistake ...

President: The only mistake I ever made was appointing a snivelling little weasel like you Secretary of Defense.

Nimzicki: I don't think you understand ...

President (talking over him): But I am happy to say that's a mistake I don't have to live with. Mr. Nimzicki. You're fired!

27. Towing targets up the Potomac for live fire exercises? n/t

[jules1962]

28. He pals around with hate filled communists.

Well,he did hang out a lot with Palin and McCain. I have a feeling that his new senate office will be in the broom closet.

[moondust]

29. Toilet Patrol Leader?

Larry Craig's nemesis. Look out Larry!
