Leiberman

Joe Leiberman, I-CT has always been a bit of a creep. My dad, who lived in Connecticut the last thirty five years of his life, did not like him. He did not like him despite being an inner-city Detroit raised Democrat who worked in the auto plants and put himself through college driving a bus and getting help from the GI bill. My dad knew how good government could help good people. When Leiberman was nominated to run for Vice President, my dad still did not like him.

Last Summer I had the chance to see what my dad did not like about Leiberman. He lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut and then decided to run as an independent. Leiberman knew that all the Republicans would vote for him. He also knew that many of the old time, entrenched Democrats would put him over the top.

Leiberman has no shame. He is a creep.

by digby:
"Like the wing nut he's become, the ever more unctuous Joe Lieberman threatens a "constitutional crisis" if his colleagues don't do what he wants. "

As far as I am concerned let the Republicans have him. He will be relevant for two years and then will be absolutely, utterly irrelevant for the rest of his pathetic failure of a career. Democrats will experience short term pain for long term gain. Let's see how Leiberman does running in Connecticut as a Republican. Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out Joe. See ya.
