Lieberman Tortures Liberals


Ezra Klein says Sen. Joe Lieberman's most recent ultimatum on the health care reform bill is all about avenging his loss in the 2006 Democratic primary.

"To put this in context, Lieberman was invited to participate in the process that led to the Medicare buy-in. His opposition would have killed it before liberals invested in the idea. Instead, he skipped the meetings and is forcing liberals to give up yet another compromise. Each time he does that, he increases the chances of the bill's failure that much more. And if there's a policy rationale here, it's not apparent to me, or to others who've interviewed him. At this point, Lieberman seems primarily motivated by torturing liberals. That is to say, he seems willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score."

5. I hope he dies of cancer.

Because that's the death he condemns thousands of Americans to die, over a fucking grudge.

Go ahead, hit that alert button. I said it, and I don't give a shit if you don't like it.

6. Is it Lieberman or is it us?

It's neither.

Lieberman has never pretended to be a democrat for the past decade. Nor has he gone over to the dark side entirely. Joe Lieberman represents Joe Lieberman. It's focused and inviolable. It's the cruel position of having to bargain with him that gets under our skin like psoriasis. We aren't to fault because at this time, we don't have much of an alternative. OTOH it isn't him because Joe ain't gonna change any time soon.

7. Yes, this is all about revenge. And Democrats enabled it by allowing the douchebag

to hold so much power.
