Lieberman expresses regret to colleagues over healthcare tension

[RamboLiberal]

Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) told Democratic colleagues at the White House this afternoon that he regretted creating tension within their conference during the healthcare debate.

Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-Independent who still caucuses with his former party, stopped short of apologizing. But he told colleagues that he is empathetic to the heartburn he caused.

“I just said I know it’s been difficult for people and I regretted it, it’s been difficult for all of us, I said,” Lieberman said.

Lieberman said he told colleagues that there are still things in the bill he is not happy with but on balance thinks it will do much to help people.

One senior Democrat in the meeting took Lieberman’s comments as an apology although Lieberman did not actually say “sorry.”

5. Thanks - been a long day - typo

Too bad he didn't cross in front of a bus on that walk he took to do Senate business Saturday.

3. Fuck him, and the insurance companies that bought and paid for him.

Save the apologies, you lying weasel.

4. Joe probably just single-handedly destroyed the health care bill in the Senate.

He's a turn-coat backstabber. He needs to be driven from his seat the next time he is up for re-election. I cannot believe he was Al Gore's VP pick back in the days. Unfathomable.

For once, it wasn't the so-called "fringe" that acted as a spoiler. It was a fucking centrist instead.

9. My bet is he doesn't run in 2012

Or he'll turn Republican in 2012. Or the Repukes may run a weak ass Repuke so their voters can for Joe the Bummer. Damn I wish his term were up in 2010.

6. Rec. PLEASE vote this egocentric prick out of office. nt

[Bucky]

7. Don't believe his lies again! He lured us in. He played his game well. But he's still a backstabber

I don't think Reid can reach him now, not yet. But please, senators, don't be fooled by these crocodile tears. Kick him off his chair and out of the caucus. We'll start losing filibusters, but you have to cut this cancer out now.

8. Fuck Lieberman nt

10. "I'm sorry I gave you a case of blue balls," said the debutante

[Bolo Boffin]

11. Lieberman: "You should have said Green Balloons." n/t

12. After this is over the Dems need to kick his ass off the senate arms committee.

13. And I regret that Ned Lamont didn't beat the crap out of you, Joey, in 2006.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Give me a break

Joe loves political grand standing - its his version of Viagra.

What a selfish little prick.

15. If media limelight trickled down a drunk's leg onto a puddle on the

outhouse floor Joe Lieberman would be down on all fours licking so hard his tongue would be splintered.

He's not remotely sorry. This is the best shot at attention he's ever had and I hope Democrats in Connecticut will organize more and better than they've ever organized and send this man out to pasture.

16. STFU, Loserman!
